Weather permitting I will pop along and spectate, my 1.8T A4 cabrio has so many things wrong with it that I'll not trust it on a rolling road.

Sorry @mannyo, this event has had to be cancelled

With the deepest of regrets JKM Portsmouth will NOT be able to run the Rolling Road tomorrow.

 

Noted, thanks Tony.  Agree with leaving it 'til at least the new year now.

Glad I checked the forum one more time!

 

Shame, but these things happen. Thanks for organising this anyway. Top man!

[EllenHyuga]

Ah that's a shame 😞 Sent the turddler to stay at in-laws 😂 Now gotta put up with a sulking @Updown789 🤦‍♀️ Least we don't have to get up at 5!

⚽🏀🎱🏐🏈s...

 

No-one ever heard of Change Control there?  No worries, thanks for the speedy update and shame indeed. But will just look forward to a bigger and better one in 2020.

 

Have a good weekend anyway, peeps.

Roger that.

MIght be able to make the rearranged date if in January as flat out at work all weekend. Hate Xmas and we got 21,000 orders for toys in just 24 hours. Blame Frozen 2 and Toy Story 4 (bloody Tom Hanks and Woody).

[themanwithnoaim]

Really glad to see everyone managed to check & get the cancellation message prior to spending both time & fuel going there.

 

I'll keep you all updated about revised dates, whilst bloody frustrating we will still do this rolling road day.

[themanwithnoaim]

Hi guys

 

A little update having now spoken with Jim at length, JKM dyno is obviously back up & running & they are very apologetic & embarrassed by the whole cancellation.

 

I've looked at a few alternatives but, I am gonna re-book this event with JKM, loyalty is important until reliability becomes an issue, once isn't a reliability issue in my book.

 

I'm gonna proposed 2 dates to JKM both in the NewYear, we just won't get enough clear weekends prior to Christmas.

 

Option 1. Sat 25th January 2020

Option 2. Sat 22nd February 2020

 

Pros & cons being

Jan will have colder air than Feb

Some may not have had their Jan pay packet by the 25th

 

Feel free to post your thoughts, the more the better & I won't be offended by bluntness.

[AndrewE]

Either date should be fine for me.

[Gaz0809]

22nd feb I can do 👍🏼

[Chris245]

Jan for me

[EllenHyuga]

Not sure. Waiting for Updown to check on call rota. Could be here a while...

[niceyellow vrs]

Currently either of the new dates work for me. Might bring the Skoda aswell as the MG down, if I can convince the woman to get up early enough and drive the second car for me, as both have changed slightly since their last runs on the dyno.

[Alex-W]

I suspect Feb will be better for me as I think the Jan date will clash with a family birthday.

Temperature shouldn't make a difference....  According to the info on their website, they factor ambient air temps into their correction calcs.

I'm easy.

 

Oh, and either date works too 👍

[shyVRS245]

Tony I can make either date. Do we pay on the day? TIA shy.

[Thorpe76]

I can probably do both as I'll have to book it off work anyways as there both on my weekends in
