sorry I missed youre calls Chris, 1) I was driving 2) I was asleep I think.

Did you want me for anything in particular or did you just wonder where we were? xx

I didnt know you were there Rahul!, Would have said hi mate.


Hehe I only found out a day or two before that I would be able to make it with a friend

I'm sure I saw you checking out the light Blue Mk1 on the Minimag stand, I was just about to say "Hi James!!" but didn't want to make myself look like an idiot in case it wasn't you

I think we got to CP at round 8am, the queue for run packs was stretching all the way to what looked like the trees on the other side!! So we thought "F@^£%$ that" and went straight to Brighton.

oh! Was cruising with this for about 20 miles on the way back. No idea what it is, but the guy was awesome and loved the minis as well, He had a massive grin on his face.

It kept backfiring and sounded SO mean. Any ideas what it is?

Saw the guys from scmc in their morph suits, took some shots of them haha.


Whoever was in the black suit certainly spooked my girlfriend. Running over and saying "hello" 3 inches from her face is hardly the best way to go about things :)


Sorry about that bud, I never meant to scare her, I'll try and be a bit more subtle next time lol

Haha, It probably was me, I was wearing by stupidly bright snowboarding hoodie. Would have been funny all the "James's" looking round as they hear they name being called.

Yeh did the same although my housemate drove his golf down which was pretty quick. Said hi to Old Skool too which was awesome, didn't think they'll be there. I had to restrict myself from buying parts sooo tempted.

Did anyone catch the Autotesting, really enjoyed that got some videos using my phone.

i was just ecstatic that my Mini didn't break down. There were some points where the temperature needle was going worryingly high, but the car kept going.

On the way home, i realised the engine is cooler at 70mph that it is at 50! :) Although the revs sound very high at those speeds :P
