i run my mini at santa pod last weekend at mini's in the park.
it did really well with a best time of 12.9@108mph which was over a second quicker than any other na vtec mini that was there.
i also beat a supercharged b16 a turbo'd b16 and a rwd cosworth mini, between those three the best time...
Met up with Alan (aye, he's no deed) Robson, Danny Chau, Craig Dolan, Paul Keenan and Ross Allison earlier and took a couple of rubbish iPhone pics.
Couple of Instagram shots:
Good wee catch up.
Pics are shiite tbh.
Gaz.

Is anyone using one of these? Do they actually work and if so how easy are they too fit?

I need a new exhaust and want to pit on a decat but really don't want my dash lit up like a Christmas tree.
Hey people.
After a successful CSS gathering (Big thanks for everyone getting there on time!!!) i thought we might as well get back on it and get some meets organised.
Me and James have came up with a little Mini Meet which is going to hopefully be on the 22nd of August.
The Ok Diner is on...

Last week I helped a friend out and gave him a hand running his de-seamed 1275 mini all the way to Cadwell park.
Was a brilliant day, not too much on the circuit at all. And while I'm on that subject, what a track! The elevations, the tight width and many changing cambered corners. Pretty epic...
well after i built my b16 mini which turned out to be the fastest na b16 mini in the uk at 13.3@104mph i craved that bit more so i bought a integra dc2 type r engine which i have fitted high compression pistons to along with polish and ported head and a nice 4-1 manifold.
then to finish it off i...
Me, Knuckles, Jon.G and Jonff decided to have a drive up to 'Winter Hill' - I've not had a Proper drive recently, so thought I'd make the most of it and whip the roof off (NOT a 1 man job ffs!)
It was sunny when I set off, but soon became freezing :(
Anyway, Photos:

I'll be heading to Brighton Mini Club's Minis on the Rec show on Sunday 29th.
It's a classic Mini show but since last year they've expanded it for all performance and classic cars so there's lots to look at – Cosworths, Beetles, MGs, all sorts.
If there's a few who fancy going, I can get a...

Not sure how much truth there could be to this but it seems logical they could once again look to get the better of Google / Android.
gave mine a quick tidy up today to help me decide what my plans are gonna be for it :cool:
decided modifications are:
3/4 front plate
front splitter
lower (not to much) springs or coilies TBC
single 2.5" exhaust with a 182 trim
wheel refurb
fix the dents
So was reading an artical this morning on both the new Mini Copper GP 2 Vs Audi A1 Quattro... now personally i wouldnt have either if i had the money to spend on such cars... but do like both... so wondered what peoples veiws were. Be interesting in admin would start a poll.
Personally i hate...
Went to the Mini Festival today to support a friend racing in the Mini Challenge in the Club class. Weather was really nice and seeing so many classic and brand new Minis was pretty cool. The JCW race cars looked awesome and the classic Cooper S' were amazingly quick for 1275cc engines!
I took...

Today I have been mostly in a field of Minis. Having got the Elf through it's MOT it was great to spend four hours cleaning and polishing it only for it to p**s down all day. Never mind it did stop at lunch time for a couple of hours so I was able to take a few pics.
Yes that is a...

In the past I've purchased poorboys blackhole and natttys wax however I'm still getting poor results. I'm not a big fan of cleaning cars but recently the swirls and dull paintwork is depressing me! What's the best process for applying these products quickly and with ease?
Also happy to...
I've tumbledried my mits loads...but the other day I took this one out and it was tiny, there were others in the same wash but were fine.
My old man even picked it up and goes "oh sweet, did you get a mini one for your wheels or something?"
Anyone else had this happen? :(
Just a random one really, very last minute but I have got my camera with me so though about a beach meet whilst the weather is nice so if anyone else wants to meet up then it would be even better for the some photos :)
Numbers so far.

3. Gower...
Everyone had a clean car for a change, so out came the camera!
Seb, PLEASE stop letting me drive your car! FML.
