I can't speak for James but I didn't find you too scary..the filming, yes..but not you guys...well most of you anyway.Was great to meet David and James, your cars did really well. Not sure you get a mention in the blog as I don't think they got any pictures of you
Although you did do some filming, didn't you?
Would be great to hear what you thought of the day and us, hopefully we're not too scary
...the day was pretty much as suspected ..lots of waiting around chatting with other petrol heads interspersed with periods of excitement when the cars I were interested in were dyno'd.My figs were a tad disappointing
..given the low mileage and some minor tweaking I was expecting to reach the factory spec 133bhp...but only managed 120..maybe the original figure was a flight of fancy...who knows?...the torque was spot on though...think I need to thrash it a bit more.. 
..and I hated Mikey's Honda Civic...pretentious little hatchback putting out that pathetic 376hbp...hated it I tell 'ee...yuk..yuk..honest..!
Glad we managed to contribute to a couple of worthy causes..

Now this is a complete stab in the dark but... is that an exhaust by any chance?

Yeah, it was good to put a name to a face, and David and I have meet briefly already. My son and I enjoyed the day.
I was pleased with my result - 10 year old 90k MGZS180, factory figure is 175 but I managed a 177.5, the exhaust, decat and induction are the secret.
We were interviewed but I've not seen these posted and I "phone filmed" the dyno display that I may you tube at some point.
