I saw the carnage as we came back to site - my stomach sank when I saw the mini on the wall. Just glad to hear no one was hurt and hopefully we will all learn a little something about trailer safety.

looking forward to seeing the car back together

So I was talking with Gav yesterday and said to him, he really needs to get on with finishing the speedster, and suggested that maybe he needs some enthusiasm and encouragement.

So a thread revival is needed. It’s been 10 years today since the incident on route to the 2008 British mini showdown.

So I ask fellow TM forum members please feel free to post some encouragement and words of motivation.
