Bugger all to do with this subject, but mate, I've been meaning to congrats your on your wee "Angus".

I am a massive AC/DC fan. Don't know if you've ever heard of a tribute band AB/CD, all Bon Scott numbers. I went to see them 27/12/06 in Glasgow. Bloody tanfastic.

I saw AC/DC in Glsagow, Aberdeen and Newcastle consecutively in 1996 and the very next day was sworn in to the police. I swear to God I could not hear a thing, more than likely I swore an allegiance to Satan .

All in all I have seen them 6 times. Bloody love them and have all their albums. As well as books and DVD's.

Same here - and so are both my sons. They regularly pinch my stiff upper lip live DVD and it gets played very loudly! I was unfortunate not to get to see them live and wish they would play live again - I would be buying tickets wherever they were playing (UK)

Heard good things about Dastek. Good central location too, I wouldn't travel to Glasgow for a RR from Aberdeen, but Fife is fine. :)

These guys look ok.. Dalgety Bay, Fife.

Want to see how much your car is putting out? You’ll not find a more accurate chassis dynamometer in the UK. Power runs include print-outs of your full power and torque curves.

Our fully equipped dyno cell is the perfect place to diagnose any difficult-to-pin-down running problems, and also for mapping engine management systems. The vast majority of popular (and obscure!) engine management systems are catered for..

[/rip from page]

does this include E46 M3 & CSL? hmm..

If there's enough interest then we could certainly look into sorting one.

I think there may be an issue in that most folk (with a few notable exceptions) are not really tuning their cars so having been on the RR once then there's no point going again unless significant mods have been undertaken... I think we'd need 15 names or so in order to even look into this. If we got that many interested then it's the standard drill :

1) Co-ordinate with shorty on timing
2) Stump up i.r.o. £40 a head so that we can book an RR (if the price goes down due to higher attendance then this would be refunded on the day)

With all the unfortunate scratched/ scored leather seating at the last outing , is there (or will there be) a rolling road meet planned for 2007?

I'd sure be up for this...(oops sorry forgot to mention this for the AGM)
