YES - I got this done yesterday - fed up being lumped in with all those BMW MAXI's

Long live REAL Minis - Classic - that is going to have to be changed.

Get my twin 1 3/4" carbs back from rebushing to day - have new 1.5 roller rockers I want another 10 bhp on top of the 85 already have for the other half shopping car!

Yay, and farewell to BMW's . It'll be nice to go into threads now not to find they're about big fat ugly name pinching cars. It was hard to resist the urge to be truly sarcastic when they were asking what wheels looked best and what stereo upgrade to get. I believe the answer to all their questions was......Buy a mini

Back on our own, Ave it...

Marki - you know you want one. Only way to go REALY fast in a Mini. You should have a go in Stuart Wright to see what a proper Turbo mini is like - JEEEEEEEEEEEEsus.

I was right up a Coopper S' (Beemer one) at Goodwood LSMOC tarck day last year - slow into corner - so driven by a novice or poof - but 85bhp mini kept him honest - Stewart 186bhp in 650kg was Utterly MENTAL - the dump valve the Rush - the SLICKs - can't wait for this years - with another 10bhp.


Marki - LSMOC - come on over for it!
