I can confirm that there was a GREAT BIG fan present, as there always is, and Im not sure some of the comments were entirely fair considering you`re only seeing half the picture.
Many many rolling road days have been conducted at PE, with excellent feedback from many many happy customers. That rolling road day in the video was also arranged on Scoobynet, so you can trust that had there been no fan it would have been quickly picked up on

The video clearly shows a car reversing on to a dyno, Then being run with an apparant lack of cooling, at a location completely unknown to me.

As it transpires the location was power engineering and the cooling was adequate. I don't see the problem.

If I was correct (which in this case I was not) it could well have opened someones eyes to a potentially dangerous situation.

That doesn`t change the fact that you were wrong and referred to PE as idiots and still haven`t managed an appology


Swiss, I nearly wrote it off in the 1st week I had it due to you "egging me on" That Blitz sounded the business eh?!

Quote me, even once putting the 2 in the same sentence please

I think it would be politically correct to appologise, so I won't.

It was other people that named the location, I had no clue where it was. And in fact still don't. I am only taking other people's word for it

I see there is a cut in the filming. As you do not see the lads put the fan in place or strap the car down. But when you do look close you can see and hear a fan working and the car is strapped down. So I see nothing wrong with this set-up. You have made a genuine mistake and I see that as no problem but think you should give who ever is running the dyno an apology. You may have called them idiots not knowing who they are but others can see where the RR event took place and know. So I would think an apology and admit you made a mistake...Its not a hard thing to do.
