Well guys the tickets are booked graham russel has kindly put me up at the north rocks hotel ala russel engineering.
I have a few people i have to visit while im there like Graham rusell,autoflex, Dr mini but im sure ill meet up with most of you at the dyno run that weekend.
there is historic racing on the sunday which ill go to with graham, anything else on?

Would like to visit Ken at mini automotive also seeing as i chat regulary with him.but i think he might be a bit far away.
any other mini shops in sydney worth going to see or other places of interest (minis or performance only) i have done the tourist things last time i was there.


Is anyone inviting craig watson to the dyno run, he might want to do a few stories for you guys in the future editions of the mini experience.wont know unless you ask.

Unless you fly, you won;t be seeing Ken. Mini Automotive is in Ipswich in QLD, approx. 1100km from graham's place.

Some of the other guys like Greig Malure will be at the dyno day anyway, but there are others in Sydney of course, depends on who you wanted to catch up with.

see if your mini goes better with the head on it, did you have it dynoed before the head was swapped? 68delux
It will be great as i have only ever been to 2 of them and only about 5 or 6 cars at them.
I will be taking video footage to send to south africa so get a bit of spit and polish on them to show them boys up.

Unfortunately I didn't Dyno it before :( but I am guessing it was close to stock 1098 anyway. It will be good to find out what it does now...

Well make sure you make yourself known on the day eh?

wierdly enuff i dunt haf e suff efrikan akcent.
I have an english accent as i was a very proud english man when i wnet to south africa and tried bloody hard to keep my accent as british as possible, so last time i was in sydney i was told i have a very nuetral accent and would fit in any where in the world.
maybe not west africa or china but most english speaking nations.
you will find out next month.
unless i get around other south africans and then the slang comes out and i can lose myself with the way i talk.
