Tim and Mark from Rightline motorsport for pushing me around.


Always a pleasure

Thank you to Jon F for the house party which we turned up to - it got us out the mud for a few hours. Also was nice to meet the guy with the ex Miglia.

I now want to build a quick mini again.

I dont't think anyone yet has mention Darrel's (the shed) misfortune.

His rover 220 turbo powered blow a cooling hose just after passing the line at over 100 MPH. The water maybe got under a slick as he lifted off, the car changed ends and hit the barrier backwards.

It was very close to where we were pitched and there were very tense moments until we saw him emerge from the totally wrecked car.

I dont think he will appreciate pics if anyone has them.(NO PICS)

Scarey stuff, glad you are OK son! *wink*

Indeed

The Shed IS Dead*surprised*

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...
So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

That isnt the first instance ive heard. Think its common on high power 220s cause andy nicholls one last year at a drag meet went and water went everywhere.

Luckily he was only doing a burnout.

Nice to meet loads of you at the Pod, well done to Nic and Tom. Will have my 16v running soon enough as racing season almost over so will have more time on my hands. Looking into superchargers for my engine now, ready in time for next year!!

whats more my model just said''' what you mean the cute one'''TALKING BOUT NICS PIC IN THE MAG !!!!!!!!*surprised*


Ive been trying to reply to this post for ages

There are 3 reasons for this:
1. You have a poorly printed copy of the mag
2. Matts photography is considerably better than i already thought
3. Or, the phrase "should have gone to specsavers" springs to mind

hohoho

LOL,

By the way Stu, your car looks like there is a fair bit of positive camber when you pull away, I think you could get a bit more grip with another degree of negative.

The DON sounds great! As I drive it I've never really heard what it sounds like from the outside!

Also you can see where it blows the core plug out and dumps its water at about 42(?) seconds.
