Avon Park - British Mini Showdown 11-12/07/09

Post by G96LUE » Fri Jun 26, 2009 12:17 pm

I'm going, is anyone else?

i'll be there from Friday afternoon.
The car is booked in for a rolling road on the 6th so i hope it doesn't blow up. :(
I've also got the trailer ready for its first outing after all the repairs and the colour change. :D

We're there on the Sunday as well to see if I can beat my previous best in a Mini (17.2 secs in a Cooper with ex-race 1293).

See you there!

The gearbox broke about 50 miles away from the Nurburgring! :( Got towed to our campsite by a fellow mini owner (Purple Rob!) Had to leave the car in Germany for 2 weeks till we sorted the recovery out! When i eventually got the car home and seperated gearbox from engine found the main layshaft bearing had collapsed and worn the layshaft! As the car was going to be off the road for awhile i decided to replace some of the rusty parts i.e. complete front end, do repairs to bodykit and general tidy up for the IMM 2009! :D But as money and work got short had to cut back! Now that our new baby has arrived i have very little time to spend with the mini! Friends are helping me to get it back on the road! :)
