Hi there. Gary here from www.northloop.co.uk. I met a good few of your members over at the ring last week. Took a few pics which I have posted on my forum for you.

My two cars are a 2003 subaru STi with 329bhp. It quickest lao of the ring to date is an 8min 22 secs. I also run a track prepared 205GTi with only 130BHP but it still manages 8mins 52secs. Not bad for old french clutter.

I used to be a mini fanatic and have owned 5 1275GT's and coopers in the past. This was my first ever car many many years ago, no laughing please.



another one a while later



Anyway I still have a love for them and enjoyed meeting you guys.

take it easy

You can take the man out of the Mini, but you can't take the Mini out of the man!

Used to have a modded 205 1.9 meself, my target with my mini is to make it feel as quick as that was (up to about 60) although it'll be hard to match the 140 bhp that the Pug had.

Ah yes I saw both those cars parked up and thought wow they must be good round the track.
