Just hours before CWC6 Cruise West Cumbria had a rolling road day at Mini Master in Penrith. In all 12 cars went onto the rollers, with the highest power coming from a Volvo T5. Even though only 12 cars made power runs, the event attracted quite a crowd. The relaxed atmosphere allowed plenty of time for people to get to know each other, before the roar of an engine being put through it's paces meant that conversation in the garage was impossible. Being in a car as it reaches full power is one thing, but standing right next to one while it does the same is an entirely different experience that is not to be missed.
