I wouldn't go anywhere but Southam now.

The very best rolling road I have ever used, every bit as good as Harry was at GRV back when I first started playing with Minis.

As most people on here know Harry Ratcliffe is one of my all time heros & to say that I think Southam are every bit as good is something I don't say lightly!

Not a recommendation from me personally but one of my club members.

He's got a pretty fancy 1380 on a weber 45 and had it set up at minisport, however he was pretty unimpressed with its driveability afterwards compared to his friends cars and in light of his impending trip to the IMM from Cumbria went looking for somewhere else oop north who understood webers.

He went here:

Apparently the dyno operator fairly savaged minisports efforts, changing the mains (lower), air correctors, ignition timing, basically everything :lol:

The car is now transformed and 'a pleasure to drive'.

Crank HP 130 ish, 98 at the wheels.

Maybe if I'd have gone there I would have kept the weber??...
