Thanks for the reply Hamish. Regretfully, I was unable to make it for the dyno day at SW Autos at the weekend so I don't know which model it is as I have not seen it myself. Which model of rolling road was your previous one and did that have analogue dials too in combination with electronic data acquisition software, and if so was that a "SUN RAM 12"? Sorry if I got the nomenclature wrong but as you can possibly imagine, I've never owned one of these things before!

Isn't it strange that you appear to be actively contributing to and supporting the very thing you purport to object to on this forum???




So what then is the reason for your statement in post number 8 of the following thread, which is unquestionably directed at Don from Kalmar Union?

http://www.vpcuk.org/forums/t12183-1...-for-sale.html



Well, here on the VOC they most certainly do!
You need to learn that you can / will be held to account when posting on VOC fora, unlike some others out there which condone members openly criticising competitive commercial companies on the basis that they are denied access to the forum and hence not able to defend themselves.
Do any of the posts that you have linked to 1,as you said you are on here allowed to state your opinions which i did and was just saying what happened?
2,as for the other link you have posted up,i think you are trying to read between the lines and make out that i have said/implied someone when infact i have not,if you can prove what i have said as being directed to anybody then good luck.I do believe that i did actually SPEAK to Don Norchi at the last essex meet for some time regarding various things regarding tuning and also his car and was very polite to him???? so how the hell can you imply any thing i have said as being wrong????????

Could be a complete coincidence......

Point taken Dan, however, **could** it also mean that the SW Autos dyno is reasonably accurate?

Now, now, no need to get upset. With regards to your first point, I just flagged it up so that our other forum members are fully aware of the "general" picture.

As to your second point, perhaps you could then explain your reference of a visit to a "scrapyard" given the only picture you make reference to was taken at Avon Park earlier this year and shows Don's car in the background (when taken in the context of the thread shown in the first link)?

I am not even close to being upset.As for the "scrapyard" reference it is you that has pointed out Don`s car and i never made any suggestions about his car at all it seems you are tryng to twist what i am saying.I was making reference to the rest of the picture not the cars!!!As it looks like the scrapyard were i used to go.I have seen Dons car close up and for what he used/needs it for then it is the perfect car.Please do not try and twist what i have written untill it is explained in full.
P.S i have been to Avon park and tbh it does have a certain scrapyard feel to it
