I know, it's a shame but I think it's the right decision.

The plan would be to sell this, buy another car, then sell my daily driver Mini so I can purchase a more track based Mini rather than using the Pickup on track.

Dan :teehee:


Certainly looked the business at castle combe

it looks awesome on the track you should keep it youngun

Thanks for those pictures!

Just taken a deposit on him today, so hes definately going! Only about 5 miles away from me though which is nice, the guy is a Mini and VW enthusiast and loved the car so much he said he'd buy it before even driving it =]

Anyway, he'll be joining our club so I'll still see it around at the meets and shows and things.

Just got to sell the other car now and start looking for a more appropriate track project!

Cheers, and I guess this is my final good-bye on this thread! :P

I think this is you at about 25 seconds in?

I know you've sold it but might be of interest to you.

Thanks for that link!

Here's another:

7:00 onwards, do a little sneaky manouvre on the guy :genius:

And yes, Pickup went on Monday, so this is my final fairwell for definate! And I'm now completely Mini less as I sold the 35 too. Will still attend shows and things, but for the forseable future I won't be driving a Mini!

Toodlepip!

Reading back through this makes me miss this car a bit! Especially as I've been told it's now sat outside under a cover :cry:

Never know, might end up buying it back in many years to come as a rusty heap... :ohno:

I'm very disappointed.

I read all the way through this, and that's some fantastic work that has gone in to building this pickup, it looks stunning. I can't believe you had to sell it. I think it would be worse if it was just around the corner. But great work! Well done. The track car project thread should be an interesting read.
