Heya Retty,didn't realise you had those early pics of the minis racing.I wouldn't of left on Saturday if you bought those out  ;).
Even after seeing those MRs of yours up close and personal,the photos definately does them justice.
O,off the thread topic for a bit.
The IT is a bit sad,but mainly cosmetic as you know.Got the clutch cover off and all,just need to measure the clutch.


                                                 Cheers,Mark.
I used to drink a lot.
I still do,but I used to,too.
