and in case any of you were wondering special permission direct from the ford fair organisers WAS given for andy to bring this to show in advance due to its FORD heart, shame other clubs thought it was fine to bring their non ford dailys

The weather was a bit warmer and roads a little dryer so decided to take the car out for a blast...
After sitting for six months it started up after about eight turns, one happy bunny...

What a build!

My dad has loads of real Mini parts. I have always loved the old mini. By sticking a cosworth running gear in it how cool is that! Love to own one

Good work there!
It all makes it worth it when you get a good run.
Did you manage to break into the 12s?

Yeah, pb is 12.7 @ 14mph but only managed 12.9 last time out..

My problem is grip, if i was to us slicks at full boost then i could see low 12s i reckon, the best times are always on low boost..
