I've never been in a turbo'd mini.

I'm supposed to be having a ride in Iain's mini sometime, but I'm resisting as I know the 8 port engine will be up for sale the very next day to fund building my own turbo mini as quickly as possible.

But that's maybe not such a bad thing..... :)

wel the plan was to make it to my local strip this weekend to start sorting teathing problems and shake the car down. but money (or lack of) has prevented me! hence why im doin some ork on this turbo mini to raise funds *tongue*

car should be on the road a month from now at the very latest (fingers crossed) so minis v beetles is a definate possibility! pr ovided i dont have exam clashes or no money *tongue*
