Hi Alex,

Thanks, Debbie's mini is 100bhp at the wheels, she use's her car to take the kids to school and then used for track days and sprints .

Metro turbo lump in yours will go well

Are you going to Sandown 45th Mini birthday next weekend?

Dunno.. depends how much I get done on the mini in the week... I might not have the time to go, even thou its only down the road...

If not I'm at a RR shoot out Good Friday (covered by miniworld) then Minis vs Beetles drag racing at York on Easter Monday (again covered by one of the mags). What a religious holiday huh

After that I'll probably do a few laps at Castle Coombe in April for the show day there.
