Had a quick flick through last night. A good write up on Keith Timpson's Mk 1.

No sign of the rolling road day yet though

only read the write up on Keiths so far as I had to rip the piss out of him about it as he hasn't got his copy yet. Another top set of photos from Matt again

lol

I did noticed that they reckon he has a a quaiffe ATD fitted

haven't looked....

Saul Bellow - "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."
Stephen Hawking - "The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge."

ATD? Tsk, can't get the staff... (I'm actually making myself sound responsible, but I'm not!)

Rolling road will be issue 170, working on it now. Expect lots of other TM content too.

What issue number are we on at the moment?

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Issue 170 will be the March 2010 issue.

I assume that it will be out in mid February.

that's far too long to wait!

Not managed to see this yet, I think it's in the shops on Friday?

I'm sure Mr Woods has worked his magic once again, can't thank him enough for spending so much time on it, must have been a good 4 hours at MITP. Really looking forward to seeing it and it'll be interesting to see what's been written, the interview on the phone was more of a casual chat about Minis! I'm sure I mentioned turbominis a few times, hopefully it made the article.

Also, I think I forgot to mention to Andrew (the writer) a few debts of gratitude I owe, a big one to my Brother who provided storage when we didn't have a workshop, and an even bigger one to Rob Gavin who has kept me on the straight and narrow when my standards have started to slip... I taught him everything he knows by the way! And I can't forget everybody on here, although I don't post up much, I try and keep abreast of what's happening on here, and have been helped a lot by the information available (even though I don't have Dyson strapped to my engine)

Big up the TurboMinis massive !!

Saw Robs copy of the mag tonight and I'm totally over the moon. The pictures are excellant, 6 full pages and a burnout on the front cover - superb. Still to read the article, but a quick skim through and it looks to be good as well.

Matt you're a top bloke - amazing what he can do with a Box Brownie.....
