Hi folks, I'll shortly be taking delivery of a Turbo from a good friend of mine, and fellow forum member who I'll leave to introduce himself if he wishes. Always wanted a mini, thought I'd go a bit mental and go for a turbo!

First job, trip to the tuners, which will be a journey into the unknown for me. Where should I go? I'm based in North Hampshire.

I also own a Mk1 TT and a LR Series 3, and have found the forums to be invaluable, so looking forward to chatting with you all over the coming months.

Also planning on Castle Coombe on the 24th to decide which direction to take it, and hopefully to get a few laps. I hear it's pretty big with TM members.

More later once it's in the garage but unlikely to get any serious driving time before next week due to a friends wedding. Will keep you all posted.

Hello Dave. :)
This place is the only real place on the 'net for real advice, from people who know what they are talking about. You can't go far wrong.

Enjoy it :)

Mini arrived on Friday but been at a wedding all weekend so little time to play. Definitely needs a tune so planning to give Slark Engineering a call on Monday to book a slot. Should probably start a new thread and keep everyone posted.
