Run a Mini called Roadrunner as my name suggests he is just 19 and I have owned him for the last 16. Started off and a red mini city but now boasts a snorting 1380. Engine was an MED kit wich I built up and it uses a Rob Walker head, 286 kent cam and std rockers. Carb is Hif44, Maniflow LCB and system. Brakes 4 pot vented std rear drums, spax shock, custom made hilo's and 5 x 12 minilites. He was also featured in Miniworld back in 2002. So here you are
