Loaded up the Volvo with kids and stuff, then argued about who got to drive Paddy to Castle Howard.
Took 3 or 4 pics of the kids and around 20 of Paddy

My attempt at taking a pic of Steve driving there

Paddy the Hooligan!

Posing picture...hes so vain!



Cute!

Castle Howard in the distance

It'd be a great spot for a mini show, the cake shop is amazing!

Awwwww feeling all paranoid for Paddy that no ones said ''nice pics'' ''nice car'' ''hmmm bad car'' ....poor ole Paddy lives a bit in Max's shadow but ooOOOoooo hes more fun to drive and deserves the odd pat on the back

Although he did have his moment of fame when a coach load of Asian students (not sure where they were from to be honest) arrived all armed with mega cameras, got off the coach and stood around Paddy taking pictures

He was soooo proud

Paddy's a 1999 John Cooper Le S Works with 90bhp

Alright cheers. Both really cool cars.
Thought all the ECU's on the MPI's were the same though

[MaxAndPaddy]

The early Grand Prixs had a Weber Alpha fuel injection but for some reason the last few of the 35 made were done with the ECU,

People on here will know farrrr more about the JCG cars but my understanding of the Grand Prix is that its based on the mini cooper 1.3 but with some performance modifications

4 cylinder, transverse, 1275cc.
86 bhp @ 5400 rpm
With catalyst converter
This special LE is based on a Mini Cooper 1.3i, and features a number of performance modifications using new components and drawing on pastracing experience.

I have noooo idea what most of that means

[MaxAndPaddy]

Thanks Mini Mad!...yeah we've taken Paddy out more, and I think the previous owner use to go to a few shows in him. I did take Max to Stafford Hall mainly because hes much nicer to drive on motorways
