Would be great to see it one day though. How long are you over here for?

At the moment one and a half years, but we'll see if we can extend the work. Unfortunately didn't meet too many people, but did get to chat to a few, including someone with a mk3 Cooper S, someone with a Downton Cooper S and someone with a mk1 Cooper which he's had since new.

Ah, that's chilled. I have gotten a pro to take care of the major mechanical issues. Turns out there is a fair bit wrong.

Ooooh, semi slicks sound exciting! With a turbo engine, it's going to be quite fun!

Limped it home on what I'm guessing was 3 cylinders after it cut out on the highway :(

It is! I mean, it was out of commission for a couple of extra weeks due to me being stupid, but it's now running well. I'm super happy.

You're in SA aren't you Vinay? Sounds like a fine run out, I'd have to go from one end of this island to the other 30 times!

Vinay-RS

Yeah, SA is quite a big country. The roads in the western cape aren't too bad either. Haha! Race track timed laps around the island :P
