whats this.. i can smell... bull***t?
hahah thats really funny.....
well you see there is a bunch of people that timed several of my laps... from the gate back into the pits was timed on one occasion at 11.05, the time above was adjusted to timing marks on ring minis video
sorry dude you must be a slow driver to waste all that power.
If i could get back when your there i would as i really enjoy being the underpowered underdog... that gets the results!

The total we've been told about your car is that it has 70 bananas and 90 curley wurleys. we dont even know if that crank or wheels.
plus if the ring mini is on it and he can only do 9.15 with nearly double bananas and intimate knowledge of the track you can see why people think that you are talking bs.
I'm not saying you didnt do it but iwould like to see proof and spec sheets not just have to take your word for it.
sorry if you get offended.

frst off i was running sticky tyres.. which started to melt!
Second my car has nothing in it... no carpets,door cards, dash board, spare, any rear seat or the metal that would hold it, rear door bins
etc etc
Third.. i am a regular on tracks in general and i am a very very fast and skilled driver (example donnington in feb, i wasted the two mightys that was there and i only had a stg 1 1275 at the time). The car is dailed with its adjustable susspension
Fourth.. lol... it happened.. you can call it bull which doesnt bother me as there is a bunch of people that was there to see it and back it up.
Fith.. There was a guy with a 2ltr vaux there and one with nos, they both had straight line, but over all couldnt touch me as i had far more speed everywhere else! i over took the vaux and the guy with the nos i took out in mine and he openly said there was no way he could keep up with mine! straight line yes.. bends no!
Sixth.. ring minis fastest time round the track is 8.40! I know i spoke to him when i was there.
The discussion on times is over in this thread! start a new thread if you want to ask
My car spec including rolling road is here http://minidirectory....php?board=60.0

How can you critisize my car, or my driving ability when you know nothing about either ??
I would also love to see you at the ring, but i personally wouldnt want to put peoples lives at risk just to prove someone wrong.
Just seen specsof your car. 55bhp@wheels.. not bad for a 1300 i suppose. Mines 104@wheels

thats it on the matter for me.

...as he has mentioned on numerous occasions he wasn't timing and he has answered every doubt and question people have asked.
And trying to take the high ground with the 'putting peoples lives at risks', he was hardly challenging you to a head to head, cut each other up just to win race!

...err, I thought that we'd established that times his friends quoted are useless, as his friends timed him from the start/exit and then they took time off that in -accordance with the timing marks. But who was timing him from the barrier to the timing marks in order to know how much time to take off the overall time????
I've bought a little mpeg4 camera £62 from http://www.3wisemonk...?id=1255&cat=14
and 2gb card £22.25 form amazon to film my laps from in car and watch them later

Oh and I think tyres probably have a huge impact on speed - more so than bhp. I am not sure mighty mini had all of his 100 bhp last year, as it was pumping out a lot of smoke!
AL - 8MP camera - CHEAP! Let us know if its any good
