dont think it would have quite got so far so fast had my clutch been working tip top, the moment he passed me was just about when it started going... bit of a bugger but its also probably a bit safer on my behalf, may well have just tried to carry on pushing a tad much if he was so close in front or if he was up ma chuff behind, could have had a different outcome had i spun on the esses or elsewhere when i was close to a car

Got a few more Combe pics through


gotta love a bit of tyre deformation! think any DUBer would be proud with that sidewall angle





still not got round to touching the mini since coombe though, actualy been busy for once! and then there was the rain

looking good, this just reminded me to get you a picture i promised a while ago, its pretty good condition for a 13 year old mag lol.

ah deary me, wonder whats left thats original! haha

even the rollcage has been modified, the cross bar was modified by the previous owner (TWWWW******T!!) technicaly the car is no longer MSA logbooked as the cage isnt as specification.
iv had a diagonal re-welded in place anyhow but its not original point (actualy better now IMO)
the points where it attaches to the a-pillers has been changed, it now has 3mm plate with swages stitches all the way down.

roofs been changed before at least once i know that, was cut from most the way down on o/s piller too

[george91]

Its just great that it eventually went to a good home and is still being used in the way it was intended, and i remember you saying the diagonal was cut out. anyways said it before but i prefer it how it is now.

Hmm, i fancy some new wheels but cant decide what i want

I think what i really would like is some mini special wheels that i can send over to force racing to split but i cant find any for sale at the moment Other wise i think i want some wellers, wont be quite as good looking but oh well. Colours will still be the same on the wheels too

if anyone knows of some exaction mini special wheels let me know
