Those carbs look brilliant

[Ace Alex]

Wow! This is very quirky! I prefer these Mini variants modified. That'll be canny quick and the Force wheels look fantastic!

Sounds good soon be out on the road

[R.S.P]

luke they do look good would have been a better driver if i had gone injection but you cant beat the looks of carbs.


Thanks Alex, i suppose it is a bit quirky and I think thats why I have done it to try and have something a bit diferent.

well, recent progress has been slow had to cut a hole in the tunnel for the new gear linkage ( first attempt didnt work) and cut the bonnet so it now fits and doesnt catch the carbs.
