Ahmotorsport Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Thought i'd post the video here for any of you interested, i think it's actually a pretty good race. We built this car out of boxes of rusty old bits for mate of ours who hasn't raced in 17 years and in his first race back he won it at Brands two weeks ago. http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/P6030150.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/P6030141.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/P6030124.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/P6030129.jpg The last picture is him taking the lead round the outside of paddock, gutsy move in the wet! What's good is, the other competitors are moaning that it's a 1380 and it's too fast to be a 1293. This one only revs to 7500RPM due to the cast rods, they're going to 9000RPM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Looked like a good bit of fun! forgive my ignorance, but are mini's easy to work on being small and relatively simple? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sortedford Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Why wouldn't I have one again?Because it wasn't great on the road, it was too harsh with all the bumps we have, the seats were rubbish, and the rust on the things! mine was a K plate and it must have been 9 years ago when I had it, the thing rusted like anything!

Ahmotorsport Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 John was out again today at Brands for a Mini event. Led the race all the way until the last lap where someone got past and he brought home second place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
