Does anyone have copies of these magazines? If so - I'd like to get a scan of the articles and the covers of both issues...

The Bruno article is the one when we first saw a 16v head on an A-series - you'll know it if you see it.
The next, was the one where 'bogus' the miniworld project car had a new KAD 16v engine built up.


These are from OLD MiniWorlds - think 1994 to 1997 era...

Let me know!*happy*

So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

I have them but they are in the loft!

- wonder what happened to bogus - twas a nice car, mind you it was hexed from the start from what I recall the 1430 oselli lump didn't run too well on the way back out of London after Mr Bennett (I think?) bought it!!!

If Carling made Mini engines
it would probably be like this one!

yes he was stolen, the shell re-appeared after about 6-8 months - small article in the front of the mag - but no signs of the KAD motor/ weber alpha injection , spectrum wheels etc.

and then someone bought the shell and intended to restore it to the pre KAD stage

I wondered what happened to it?


Remember the 'rally' car that they built after? I saw that at mitp a few years ago and had an 'interesting' chat with its new owner about it, it seems they they tried to scam him with the engine for it (or something, i cant quite remember now)

What is most amusing is the laughable 1/4 mile times that Bogus ran. seemed ballistic at the time.

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

yes Bogus's 1/4's were in the 17's - even Marc Le Maitre's "fastest mini in the world" wasn't that quick over the quarter from what I remember - 14's?

OK, I found it on another PC here. 3 page MS Word doc, 4.2Mb, or 3 JPG images of the 3 pages, about 1.5Mb each. If you want, I could try converting the Word doc to PDF, that usually cuts the size down. Where do I send it?

nope! I think of the era Paul Whiffins turbo clubby was the fastest, though there was an n/a burgandy car running 1380/480 - quite un assuming road legal but was pushing very low 14's back then - any idea whose it was?

"swifty" was very fast as well for the time - in the 13's on nos from what I remember

Here are a couple of historical pics - CCC group test at Chobham with Pauls Clubby and Scruffy Mk1 9 months before I totalled him (July 1994 - September issue)!

And Scruffy Mk2 in 8th place in the CCC converted car of the year just after he was finished in April 1996

Love that blue clubby! I don't know anything about it as it was around before i got in to minis properly.

Does anyone know what happened to it? Does the old owner (paul is it?) ever post on here?
