My mate just sent me this link - anybody ever turbo'd one?! I expect that it would a rocket ship, being light and less brick- shaped than a normal mini!

bad guy: What's the easy way?
Hannibal: That WAS the easy way.

I saw a turbo'd Marcos and the action day at Combe maybe 10 years ago, i remember them saying it had a 2.9 Fd and claimed an outragous top end speed.

I have it some video of me overtaking it from an in-car camera.

I do like that white with red and blue stippes GTM turbo that is knocking about.

No Alex my car is red and on 13s.
The one Jon is refering to is White with red and blue stripes and an intake snorkel.
If the wife allows me to spend some money then mine may be at Avon next year.

First mini turbo to get in the 12's & site perv

Herefordshire

gtm isnt it? are they the same kind of thing?

the one in front on the top pic has a honda 1.6 (non vtec) in it, i had a great chase up the strip with that

i think the main advantage with them is the highly improved aerodynamics
