i agree about the astra charlie....

[Black.Ghost]

Well I want to take my new Clubby - but i cant even start it until I get home the second weekend of march to get some bits i need.

If not it will be the same Mini as last year. Hopefully with a bit of a tidy up, although Im planning to do that properly once the Clubby is on the road so who knows.

That Astra is nice. Ive never seen a MK 1 before.

Cheers for the warm welcome guys and for the positive comments on the car.

Of course you are more than welcome to come out for a spin in the beast, or if there are any real Ring Pro's amongst you, perhaps you'd be kind enough to take me round in my car first to see how she can perform?

you have opened the floodgates now.....

Aye, I do have the backup option of the 'Rocco again, but I reaaaaaaally don't want to go in that without carrying out some major mods to it!

I ain't going in that . You have the backup of a standard mpi........and maybe a standard GT if he's back on the road.

I would LOVE to do that, but I'm a pap driver!

Might opt for a pax ride and pay for the ticket though!

yes must say thats a very nice car

as for letting someone else take it around is a big risk as even the best drivers get it wrong sometimes

and cost a lot if you make a mistake

but would be happy to take you round this being my 5 year ,may even hire out track prep'ed car again this year

would have to ask the others what they though of their laps with me last year

must have been good though as there was a line lol 7 passanger laps ) in this baby

Hi All,

I'll be going in our Equinox. It's currently pretty standard (only mods are Maniflow LCB and RC40 back box) BUT... 7 months leaves plenty of time for lots of go faster, brake harder and handle better mods!




This is my current need/want list. I hope to get most of it over the next few months. Not sure about the reprogrammable ECU at the mo tho... it's a little pricey.

I went round with The Stig. (I'm the guy with the yellow cap in the photo) He knows the track well and is a great driver.

Edi, please don't get your rubber cones off eBay. Most of them are non-genuine and will collapse with a few weeks, they are considered extremely dangerous. Go to a reputable dealer like Minispares, DSN Classics, Minisport, etc. Always make sure they have Dunlop embossed on the side.

[edi57]

Thanks Jammy. Yep I'm careful to buy only the genuine item. I've bought two sets from ebay seller thezwarehouse and they've both been genuinely packaged and are the genuine cones with dunlop on them etc. Unfortunately I've not seen him selling any more over the past couple of months so I may have to get them from MiniSpares.

Suspension will be my first priority with the Mini as I find replacing the front cones a horrible job. As soon as I get to work on this Mini I think I'll start a project thread.

Some lovely runners this year!
Few years for me hopefully

Have a good time all !
