Turbo ONLY RR shootout.
Turbo Mini Forums

I'm sure Many of you saw the article in MiniMag around December 02, from a turbo shootout that i organised. I'm gathering interest in another, scheduled for the Friday before Castle Combe action day.

If you are GENUINELY interested, and there is a STRONG likelyhood that you'll have a turbocharged mini in a condition fit for a rolling road, let me know by dropping a message here.

It seems like an ideal 'promotional ticket' for this site, so i hope i can count on a good number of you?

Cheers,
Dave

CONFIRMED.

This is happening. Friday 26th September, Mech Repairs in Cheltenham.

It will be covered by MINI MAGAZINE. As far as i'm aware, The writer knows a little bit about turbo minis aswell, so i can 'personally' assure you of a quality write-up!!!

The Digital boost gauge will be coming aswell - so no telling porky pies!!! (including me)

If you haven't confirmed to me, but are SERIOUSLY interested in bringing a motor, let me know!

All other spotters and sisters welcome!

I'm gutted, this has now been canned, as mark said
"This friday`s RR shootout is off
" too much talk and not enough torque by too many messers"

Team Racing

ITS OFF?

Dave new that i am going

Awight lads,

I'm not really too bothered one way or t'other. things like this either happen or they don't!
As it is, the A-Series turbo shows its true colours for the unreliable piece of turd it is by nearly 3/4 of the initial yes's becoming no's in the last fortnight, mostly because they were all laid up...

Sorry Sumpy, Jim, Mark, et al. Until the next time!!!

Hey i know, lets meet at Combe friday night instead- find the Manchester minis and/or Newcastle mini club stand or txt me 07776 221 718 and lets get pissed! Hooray for Stella and 1664!
