I'm convinced I (we) will have a track car soon.

Just no funds while we move house! So hopefully next year

Think a Mini Cooper S Works would make a decent track car??

That would be way too sensible!!

It would be for me & Jade to use & I think (know) she would consider a 80's french hatchback as a bit of a death trap, or doesnt like the look of it or whatever!! I know there a good idea but its not just up to me.


My plan...this week!!

Would be to sell the mini convertible and classic mini to get a road legal track car & we would share the M3. Cooper S works can be had from 8k now days..... spend on brakes, suspension and spare set of wheels with cut slicks. Upgrade power as and when it breaks!!

See you've been getting more use out of the camera than I have anyway, might need to blow the dust off and get some videos.

Pissed me right off though, I got the batteries it specifies and it would struggle to do more than 30 secs at a time before switching off.

Put standard ones from Aldi in and it'll do 20 mins easily. Fuck knows why.
