Has no one else managed to find a copy yet?

-MINI CLUBMAN 1380 TURBO-

I've got a copy, good photos and an interesting spread. But as is unfortunately usual for this mag, full of errors (like saying Mats is the fastest, when actually the figures would suggest different, certinally to 60 anyway). And then just lots of grammar and wrong words. Still, one for keeps.

Front end is off mine now, so should be shiny soon.

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

Whats the cover car on the mag Wil?

A blue Imp, with the minis on the bottom of the page

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

Wil I read it as it says about the top speed just before, they meant fastest top speed of the day, and ians says hes the fastest 0-60 time of the day.

This was done in a rush as well, well spotted, that why we were in this issue and not the next as we were rushed through a month to fill the space from a feature they got let down on.
love the coment about the masking tape Wil

Finally got my mitts on a copy of the mag today, the pissed off feeling of not having my car there on the day returned, especially when a mate pointed out the space on the poster my car should of been. But Im well chuffed I got me ugly mug in a few shots, it took three reads of the feature to notice myself riding shotgun with Ian, lol. But all in all a good reminder of a good day out. Some cracking pics again from Matt.

got my hands on a copy on friday and am pretty impressed with it all! didnt think there would be a whole page on each car, really good that they wrote abit on everyones cars plus had pictures of engine bay, interior etc (just shame about the big dent in the back of mine!)
great pictures of the day though matt

I didn't notice your dent mate, every one will be more interested in your fast 0-60 time, to notice any thing else!!

I'm so pleased it turned out as well, for such a short time to get it in.

Better think about the next one now!!

I finally got a copy the other day, very pleased. the poster will be framed in the garage lol. Top work Matt!

I would also like to request a re-run as I have now cured my boost problem which restricted me to 15psi all day!

Saw it flash round to 25psi earlier on!

Just been out and got an issue!

Very good feature well done guys. Bummed I couldnt make it but hopefully there's a next time!

I almost shed a tear when I saw there was a poster aswell. I think my patchwork car would have looked out of place anyway hah.

I got this today. It was a good read and some good photo's too.

Some impressive figures there guys well done. So when is the 16v one then??

Team Racing

Glad you like it.
I can't even think of what speed you would get Jim with your revs, will be insane to try, I only managed 131 mph, the car just wouldn't go any faster for power setting i had it on, I was a little disappointed with that TBH as i know others on here claim much faster so i thought i would be able to get better then that!! May be my GPS was out lol.

I got a copy today. Wil's car has never looked so good, that takes a skilled photographer to make it look that good. It was a good selection of cars to show what is possible.

A man without a project is like a like a woman without a shopping list.

I'm in the midle of changing the gearing on mine at the moment, as it was geared for 150.4 mph at 8400rpm. I think maybe not the best gearing for most tracks, lol

Team Racing

wish my car was on the road for this. after seeing a page per car and a poster :)

ncie read :) looks like everyone had traction issues on the run way lol

It's a shame we couldn't get the top speed run of benross's car, I'm sure that would have turned some heads with those figures

Some nice looking motors on there. Nice to see the slab fronted (propper) minis at the front!

Yes Jim not seen the car yet so would have been super to see that in action, and with the big speeds he said about, would have been nice to see if he could get them again in my gps.

Thanks for the link T3.

Apbellamy, yes very sorry about that for those with real mini it wasn't my idea to put the funnys to the front! Having said that, i think they just wanted to hide Wils one up

I have managed to get a copy of the magazine finally! Looks like a good spread and top work on the photos Matt they look really good! I think the writer has used abit of creative writing about my car though

Also i have had some time to put some videos on youtube. Didnt get many though as the battery went flat!

I remember listening to yours run Matt, and the noise kept going, I thought you had found another runway or took off!
