I forgot to mention also that it passed the mot lol Finally the day i had been waiting for! i've been out for a drive as well and it sounds amazing! The handling scares me though lol Need to get the whole car set up properly now. Heres a little video, i can only rev it to 4k as its a new engine but my god it goes even at 4k lol Taken on my phone

Hey Guys its been a while since i posted now as i havent really done anything other than run my engine in. I have however managed to take the mini to retro rides 2012 which was an awsome event and would recommend anyone to go next year! i also had a few runs up prescott hill climb :) here are some pics and a vid of my run, hope you enjoy

Slowly , my wife's a teacher so the school holidays have hampered my progress a bit, plus I'm currently on holiday in Cornwall
Should be back to business end of the month.
Did you manage to get it logbooked?

Looks like a fantasic Mini. I bet she will look amazing out on the stages.

What events you planning on doing?. I saw you had a video of epynt on your Youtube channel, i bet she would go quite well over there.

I've always thought a mini of this spec would achieve a good result at caerwent, when the mini's handling would come into its own.

Sounds like a good plan you've got there. I do quite abit of co-driving and when you have to retire from a rally it’s always a disappointment. You’ll have to post which events you have entered when the time comes.
