Alright Harry,
Have you looked at custom cages? I really cant see how That front wheel drive Knight motorsport car gets the power down.
Hope you and Kev had a good time.

That Knight Motorsport R1 turbo mini was awesome, he did not know the power but minimum 200+ BHP upto 300 if mapped properly. I have a RWD R1 car , and yes I doubt that thing can put Taft power down effectively. But what a ride...

Glad you guy,s enjoyed the show,i went to the classic show last year and enjoyed it but like you lot i found the food ott pricewise and parking costs were high but i suppose i would not go again this year as it would not alter that much.Good as a one off for me.
Anybody get chance to ask DV if he intends to use the forum as we do !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Lots of ballyhoo about it earlier this year ( egg on a few folks faces eh what).

I spoke to DV at the show but remember he is also a very busy man......although he does want to get more involved with the Mini tuning scene once again.
