Hi Bob
Going to try and make it tomorrow. May do power run if places still available, but happy to mooch around and have a chat (and make a donation).
Cheers

I've just arrived home from the Bob Watson meet.
A big thank you to everyone involved in the organisation of the day and great to meet some of the DDK crew.
Link to my car doing it's run and spitting a few flames at around 1.32. Turn up your volume for the full effect:

296bhp recorded today - I think this is generous and it's actually more like 285bhp allowing for adjustments and 340Nm Torque.

Thanks to Bob and his many assistants. A great social event too.
Not disappointed with 255 BHP from the Boxster either. I'm sure it was the quietest of the day

Great day - My first time at a DDK meet and good to put faces to names/cars.
My old SC was bang on factory spec.

My car enjoyed the testing so much it didn't want to come home. Embarrassing or what
?
Many thanks to Bob and his very enthusiastic young staff for an interesting day which left me with more questions than answers......
Now I just have to discover where all those missing horses have gone and to get them back in the stable.
Kind regards,
Bob
