For those of you that were at the track day at lydden on sat you would have witnessed big Dave using all of the track to keep his mini under control.
We did think it very amuseing when one the marshalls came and congratulted him on a very brilliant and entertaining driving display. Showing great car control and skill. But we all no better. |

Robert, do the Minis, I presume you are talking real Minis not the BMWs, have their own series in the SE?

Thought BD drove a blinder all day, although I heard him most of the time as I was working on my car in the paddock. Think he should definitely think about competing in Rallycross!
I'm just pleased that my Mini doesn't have a handbrake! |

Hi Rob, yes, it's a Swiftune motor and we're very happy with it. Has been faultless for two seasons now (touch wood!).

well going in to the final round its Bisland 1st, Rawlings 2nd.
I think I have won the mini class in the intermarque saloons but to be honest there has'nt been no one in it so its a bit of a hollow win. Next year will be better for us all. |
