Just got back from AET, our kid had his car on the dyno. Have to say I was completely blown away by the quality of the equipment and general facilities, and the warm welcome and down to earth attitude of the staff. :notworthy I have visited places in the past where both the equipment and service has left a lot to be desired but AET's wonderfully down to earth nature and state of art equipment has left me thoroughly impressed. It says something when an outfit like RCM uses your dyno facility because it's so good:thumb: Thanks for letting me have a nosey and all the best for the future. :)

Ps Ellie makes lovely coffee too.:thumb:

Turned up first in line and no locking wheel nut adaptor. Had to go home and remove with a socket and hammer, quite easy really, at least I won't have to worry about them anymore:lol1:
Got back and returned 250 at wheels so well happy:luxhello:
Great to meet Andy and Ellie and all the rest of the guys there.
Its a super set up and well worth the visit:)
