i hate minis, but love attention

I saw this thing run a 12.5 second 1/4 on road tyres at 115 mph on sunday at santapod.

Its a standard cavalier turbo engine with regal phase 3.5 managment (just a set of chips and an inetercooler) Its street legal, toyo tyres, no gas, no fancy engine management system, and a completely standard 90,000 mile cavalier turbo engine.

Sorry Its a nova, but I thought that was pretty f***ing impressive.

Can we get a new section made for people who love Vauxhals. Tempt everybody in there who is susceptible to the darkside and then ban the lot of them.......

Just a thought.

They are not fucking good. They have never been fucking good. They will never be fucking good.

Part of what makes the Mini what it is, was that it was a design revalation when it was first made. There is nothing on a Nova that was a design revalation.

End of story.
