Nice one, is the track pic at 3 sisters? What class were you in? Nice mini by the way

The tyre was mainly a bit flat. I had just got the set of wheels from the last show i went to... bargin, swaped a 1962 mini for 4 image splitrims with brand new tyres. (the '62 a bit of a project!)


It was at York-Raceway, near well..York!
Its from when I won the northern sportsman national cup. It was wet, which was fun!

[MiniMrMan]

Have you got he clutch sorted now then?

Ggrrr. Took it to zcars tutherday... got fed up of doin it! I was sure the clutch plate was right way round, its not exactly that hard, specialy when it has a sticker on it saying PP SIDE! Not my fault i was under the car putting bolts in the back plate while my dad was doin the top bolts and putting the clutch plate in. Hhmm. aahh well, at least zcars is close to me!

Just rang zcars... the plate was the wrong NOT way around! there was a fault with the clutch plate-oversized?! Anyhow, at least it is sorted now!

Wuw, its summer again, sort of. Mini is back on the road, whoop whoop!

Over winter all I have fitted is a remote filler neck for my petrol tank and refitted my bonnet, using the same panel fasteners as i have used on my arches.




Went well on the way to Brighton, running just a little hotter than when i had the bonnet up at the back.
Didn't go that well on the way back tho... hitched a lift on the back of an RAC low loader as one of my coil packs decided to give up the ghost.
Still saved me over 100miles of petrol money!

[ian24v]

save that coil pack for next time you want a lift home from a show! LOL

Look smart mate.
