Hi folks,

Just got some news in the mail box.

Speeding ticket that is.

Apparently, leaving work on friday, I was lucky with the lights but not so lucky as there was a speed camera aboard a vehicle on the side of the road.

So me dangerous gangster was doing 57 km/h instead of 50 and have to pay 90 euros and lose 1 or 2 points out of 12.

I will not mention the car was parked 50 meters before the 70 sign, wouldn't I ?

Anyway, I don't take it too bad as a few hundred miles after that, I was kinnda racing a Mercedes in the twisties *happy*

The guy with the Merc was in a hurry, passing left, passing right "move out of my way' kindda guy so I had to show him you don't win in the straights, you win in the bends !

So we entered together a 70° bends and when he started braking, I got into 3rd and flat out (that was 80 ish km/h, I was inside the bend so much easier) but, you certainly can left a car 30 meters behind in a 50 meters bend !

Sorry but I wasn't driving my Mini, I was driving my Megane Estate mk 2, oil burner and all

Rusty by nature

Genius, we should all trade points. When we get 9 points, pop over to France do a bit of speeding and get some taken off.

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

the design shows a distinct lack of imagination,
talk about starting off with a clean sheet of paper, then not bothering to fucking draw on it,lol

That would be brilliant !

Anyway, I am not complaining, that's life.
What is not funny is they settle on "money spots" rather than on "danger spots"


And a question arises : how do you guys do with 100+ HP Minis not to be busted every thousand miles or so ??

I bet my first wank came quicker than your first mini turbo


These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.
