can recommend tommy at wilfield motors for a tune up if that's what it needs. make sure your motor is in good order though. he knows minis and a series inside out, and is local to you

I'd give it a good check over then take it on a steady drive for a bit. And see how it is 13.95 1/4 mile on a 2.95 fd. Carnt be that hard to beat! |
