cool cool, im up for that 
IMO of course, and it could have been just that one as others said it was a really poor driving position etc, basically the seat was right back, and im only 6 foot but me bloody knees were up to my ears and the steering wheel was miles away, and the pedals were horrible.... rant rant rant

Torque Lbs/Ft and BHP should be the same @ 5250 rpm
BHP cannot be measured, it is a calculation.
See here .... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsepower

yeah its not great but it managed that power - or atleast a figure not far from that it was insanely fast for a 1.3 mini
This one should be about 30bhp less but more driveable - then again it might not be

So if you rearrange that equation you will see that
BHP/torque * rpm = 5252
So where BHP and torque are the same (ie bhp/torque =1) then RPM = 5252
Its just phyically impossible for your graph there to ever be considered any more accurate than if you got the etch-a-sketch out basically mate

DUH!
LOOK AT THE SCALES!
the line for torque and bhp are on different scales so of course it doesnt cross at that exact RPM.
The Computer that produced the graph has moved the scales to fit the page better.

Not saying you didnt make decent power but the graph is bollox

No, its correct, just the vertical scale is different so it makes them look like they cross at 4700 when the values are REALLY the same at 5252

SECS - of course RPM is the same, the torque and BHP scales the the different ones.
If they were the same then the BHP formula would show the lines crossing at 5252 - as they are different scales they don't cross.
If you like you can pick a random figure or two and run them through the formula - it should be OK
