welcome to the site

[Mr Clubman]

four minis... a manta.....great! not sure about the micra though....I had one for work and for a small car it handled like a right pig........there was no way of knowing when it was gonna loose control (even on a stretch!)......no driver involvement whatsoever! It was a base model too, so the wheels were narrow and wouldnt stick to road......you look like a prat spinning a purple/blue micra! tehehehehe

Hi all!
Yeah the micra is my sensible car for job interviews and other stuff where i need to get there
a) on time and
B) not covered in oil and
c) not having to carry around a tool kit!
I've had it out on the track actually (back in my student days where my only other car was a chevette road rally car and it failed to start on the morning of the track day) and spun about 4 times...they're not the best handling are they! mind you getting used to minis means anything handles like a shed (except perhaps a go kart). Fan of rwd tho so gotta keep the manta. Has anyone out there done a RWD mini conversion? heard of a 4wd but on a panda 4x4 chassis....and remember pushing a rwd pug 205 out of a ditch on a rally once...hmmmm...
