Novas are quick, esspecially when a 16v GTE engine is planted in the engine bay.

out of all the minis i've had 10 or so on the road over time, with a couple being my daily driver for a bit.

20 minis in around 6 years isnt too bad on top of my daily drivers

haha, robert you have a dirty mind!

i meant 'close' as in close to the hedge/ditch/trees and 'moment' as in "oh shit i'm going to die"

left matt to have his other 'moments' in his car by himself! lol

wow 20 minis, thats pretty impressive. and a nice selection of all the different models aswell.

2003 mini is cheating. Its date it was made not rebuilt

ive got to stop refreshing the page, im going to bed sorryyyyyy!

Edited by richminiturbo. on 1st Jan, 2008.

Rich, 2am new years day... and you are triple posting

Just how many beers did you have?????

The same things been happening to me, its the 2 or 3 page thread, when you return after posting you go to page 1 so you use the dropdown to select page 3, its a blank so you refresh.. takes 2-4 times before you work it out, depending on alcohol content.
