ok I'm back now so can I just clear a few things up! :w00t:

Facial expression I've already mentioned so lets just leave it at that shall we :errr:

Yes there was two cars in the artical and one is a very nice pick-up built by Pete. I like to think i had more than a bit of a hand in building mine so can we drop it :crazy:

Next up i would notice the absence of the front subby and it won't fit Pete's pick-up anyway so it wouldn't be much use. :w00t:

Am plans are to enjoy it whilst making small improvements hopefully.

Oh and Thanks for the pic Pete front subby is looking sweet! :D :) :dontgetit:

I've actually got 2 front frames in the garage. One's for the other minus and as this won't be built for a while then you never know where it may end up :dontgetit: .

Anything can be made to fit :D

Congratulations to Pete and Ade on the R1 powered beasts!

Just got the mag today and Ades Minus has officially fallen into my 'ultimate mini' category :w00t:)

Loads of power, reliability, no rust, etc etc. One day I'll have a Z cars mini :errr:)

Driven a Kawasaki 1000cc powered Sylva Striker kit car before, 300bhp/ton. Would love to have same experience in a mini!

Craig.

Sorry pete i know from reading on here that youve done plenty of work on both cars (most :ermm: )and congratulations again to the pair of you parents think im mad buying minimag when "you havent even got a mini" but its nice to see the end result in a mag when all of us on here have watched the progress on here its part of the special cars build that you never see in the mags

and while we on the subject pete good luck with the minus and pickup iv read youve had some unfortunate problems with the pickup since built but its worth it when your pride and joys in minimag i assume ?

Woo Hoo!!

I finally have a copy of the magazine! (well three if your being picky lol :ermm: )

Am a happy little chappy!

Once the front subby is on I think the only thing I'll probably do is get the Power commander set up properly. It's running a map that should be close but will probably be worth getting it set up properly if I'm gonna stand any chance of keeping up with Dale's mini :w00t: :genius:

And again

And I feel probably a sensible option! :w00t:
