Mrs.Jagman, the mini & I made it to Castle Combe. Car went very well. Didn't do any laps but maybe next time. The temperature even went down at one point on the way home..? I can only presume we dropped into a colder climate in a valley, plus the very slow senior driver infront slowed us down. Great to be in a couple of convoys on the way there & back.

Mr Jagman is very modest...during this Mini project he even managed to attract a lady (Mrs Jagman now - clearly has a thing for oily overalls!) that would put up with this 'man distraction project' and even marry him at the end of it....

 

Double score!!

 

Tell us the secret?

WD40 as aftershave worked a treat.

A nice conclusion to the project. Forcing me to look at the snag list again.

I won the Parade lap at Snetterton last weekend for the mini se7en races!

A great day out thanks to Minispares, Mini Se7en club & Snetterton staff.

Indeed. A grand day out.

The mini liked the track alot too!

A lot of miles that weekend as well. Nothing went wrong or fell off..!

Still plenty of opportunities to buy a raffle ticket from Minispares.

Thanks, yes. I think they are wider than the Miglia one's too.

Those tyres gave plenty of confidence, even on the damp track.
