Good to see this in the flesh today, I came over to chat but you were already in full conversation so didn’t want to jump in.
Ps I wouldn’t have stole the phone, that said a dodgy bloke in a blue bucket hat!!

Yep, some good info and I like the way you work. It’s learning the details such as the expansion tank which is what interests weirdly!

This really is an inspirational build.
I picked my turbo up from Ben @ Bagsport at the weekend and and looking to getting stuck into that at the end of the summer.

A month on and a bit of an update. Finally got a better header tank for the chargecooler coolant circuit. Holds around 5 times more fluid, and inlet air temps are quite good now!
Off to Gaydon for the Mini and Metro show, i entered concourse again, and gave it everything on the day! Was knackered by midday prior to judging, but walked away with first!
Papped with AOK
I've been in talks with Mini World magazine for a few months now, basically i haven't felt the car was ready to be featured, but I've always found reasons not to. So bit the bullet and arranged a time to meet up with Ade for the photos!
No idea when it will be in! But still to do the interview!

I hope so! Still haven't had my interview yet.
It was local to me, my mate owns the industrial yard. Use it to test antilag and launch control as don't get complaints from the neighbours 🤣
