One question though, why are the front wheels on rollers? Is that how they test the brakes?

That's exactly right Craig. See the two big dials in front of the car? They measure the brake ability to withstand the turning force of the rollers. Part of the compulsory MOT (Ministry Of Transport) test that all cars over 3 years old have to undergo every 12 months here in the UK.

Andy, that's a fabulous job. Like Chris says that is probably better finished than when it came out of the factory.

Enjoy[:D]

As per Beans, now go chew up some miles. And maybe smear a bit of oil on the subframe so it looks a bit more authentic. [:)]
