Because his very nice K1100 headed mini appears in this months PPC.

There was an Mpeg of a K1100, when it was started for the first time, on this forum which rings some bells. Can't find it now though to check.

It seems so obvious now. I honestly hadn't made the link.

Anyway the car looks as nice as Jims, which is a compliment to both.

Hi Wil - funny thread!!! - I saw your car at Avon over by the entry road but never down the fire up lane - as I spent most of my time trying to fix the electrical gremmlin I had on the Sat (duff coil pack) - so didn't have a chance to have a chat with you. The article was done just after the start up vid was taken - thanks for the kind words on the conversion.

cheers

First mini turbo to get in the 12's & site perv

Herefordshire

last year at retro cars there was someone chatting to me who i didnt have a clue who they were, however they seemed very knowlegable, not they usual crap you get from some people

i always wondered who that was, but at avon this year i noticed him playing with johnk's car so i presume it must be him

Hi Nic - Yes I remember having a good chat with you last year at the pod, again missed out on catching up with you at Avon - saw your car around - due to being stuck under the bonnet all Sat/Sun am. Maybe I'll catch up with more of you at Combe in Sep.


cheers
