Re: RIAC Show at RDS 1st and 2nd of March

Will have to take my car off the list unfortunately - car is scheduled to have a few jobs done for new season and may not be in 1 piece!

Re: Sad news

Terribly sad...Mike's presence at shows and runs will be greatly missed.

His stories of his racing days always entertained and his enthusiasm never seemed to waiver.

RIP Mike.

Re: poor handling any help?

Check the toe on the rear of the car.

If the rear is toed out it can make the car feel very unstable. Ideal road settings would be toed in 1/16 inch.

Wow...haven't updated this in a while!

Car is built and driving after a busy last few months. Probably easier to just read the last update here!

Mini to be celebrated at Mondello

The very first race in Mondello took place in 1968 and was won by a Mini no less! Almost exactly 45 years on, Mondello are celebrating this with a special invitation to all Minis :D

Re: 1964 Racer

So, have been busy over the last few weeks. Underside of car completely stonechipped and painted blue. Subframes all built and fitted. Lots of other small bits done too! Pushed it out of the workshop today for the first time in a while and took some snaps. I'm delighted with how the project is shapi...
