nova's are popular in SEGTO but there hard to find in 1.0 versions, 106's/AX's/saxo's are cheap and lightweight

I dont know if i could lower myself to driving a nova anyway!!!
Isnt the smallest engine in a 106 and saxo a 1.1???

[Wessie28]

1.0 106/205/AX/Saxo are 954cc TU series engine, really good engines, some are alloy block too I think

I've raced against a 106 (you should know it tom, think its rudge's).. not sure if its standard or not but certainly not as quick as my mini....

there are a couple of cinquecentos that race at standlake.. one has won quite a lot too.. think the mini days are numbered really.. not because they are any slower/worse than a nova or whatever but because decent shells and engines are getting harder to get hold of for sensible money

As you say, mini shells are going for silly prices now - thats why i was considering different options.
I dont mind smashing up a french car, but i think id have a bit of a concience smashing a mini up
My mate has an old metro that he said i could have for £35 but it's a 1.1 so i couldnt use it in class1 unless i put a new engine in it

[mandys mini]

Recent events in birmingham ie 18 classic minis being stolen since june to october 3 in a week 3 white minis too is maing me question as to whether or not you have to have a v5 document to race so you can prove these cars arent stolen . seems racing can be an easy way to lose stolen minis or am i being funny by saying that strp it out no plates no id wellded up so hard to identify the cars .if any one is honest and i presume a lot are can you look in stolen mini alerts and keep an eyes out for new minis apearinf on the scene with tuned engines and suspension mine included sump guards etc perfe t to strip out n race with a 1289 eh let us know if any one knows anyhing at all ok .07905 762433 Carl
