Spotted this little beauty in Summerhill today, some of you may know Ted from the AutoGlym stand at the IMOC Camping Weekend in Boyle. I think he got this one from Bert. Lovely little motor.

Lovely Mini and anyway Bert had to sell it,he was too afraid to unlease all 34 horses at once.Not everyone can harness the power of an 850,it took Billy 25 years before he got the hang of it. :D
Real Clubmans have a square nose.Seriously.

Going through my old photo's and came across these.

The first was at 100% Modified at the RDS in 2005 and the second was in Dublin Castle in 2006. Apologies for the poor quality.
