Now finished We made it to Combe too, and round Combe for 4 sessions. Handled and went like a dream!








Me and Teapots Pickups at Combe

Was going to sell my carbon fibre rocker cover, but instead decided Combe would have to repay itself some other way so put it on the car

Tada!








Next plan is electric fuel pump as on fast corners at Combe it stuttered a bit coming out on full chat, stiffen the shocks very slightly and maybe a little extra camber on both front and back wheels. There's also a rev limiter on the cards too, just incase!

Hi mate, cool looking pickup, good work! I just read the whole thread.

One question, how tall are you? I have had many mini's over the years and would like a pickup next but I seem to remember that I once heard there is a little less room for the seat to go back? I am 5ft 11in and 3/4's lol.

Keep enjoying it.

[DaveJH]

Really? Hadn't heard that and at 6"3 I'd need to check that out as I really want one after uni!

[E.L.M.O]

Looking really, really good man!

I think next year thou we need to all seek each other out and get a great pic with all 3 blue pick ups?!

Really nice job you've done on your pickup Dan

Hope ours turns out as good.

yeah that would be pretty awsome!
Almost enough members for our own club! lol
The Blue Mini Pick up owners?!

[mini-man-dan]

They are quite a bit tighter than normal minis, yes.

Would be awesome to actually have a pickup club stand at a show sometime... I may have to organise this... What show would be best for everyone? I'll put it up on the Pickup forum and try and get as many as possible for a show. Castle Combe would be the obvious one, but that's a year away

[E.L.M.O]

I think SMD would be easiest?
