I am going to gloat

Apart from the Alfa GTV6 that broke on its first lap, i was slowest car on the day at the MCC supersprint. I still won the trophy for fastest Mini under 1100cc even if it was because it was the only one in the class.

Still i had a blast considering it is a stock 998, with 1.25in SU, dodgy bros extractors, Falken road tyres that don't stick, 14 year old dampers that don't do what their name suggests. Hell i did not even adjust the timing or the mixture from when i was last using it 6 years ago. The engine still has the normal oil pick up, so i watched the pressure disappear on the right handers. It still has single valve springs, so i found the valve bounce rev limiter.

My fastest lap was 1:52 on the GP circuit. Now if that seems slow - it is The sports sedan Mini that was there was doing 1:30, some even get down to the mid 1:20s.

I can go faster, i know i can I'll match my mates stock 1974 Corolla with slicks no problem

Next time i'll even remember the keys so i can put more petrol in it.

You have to take the Moke or the Matic out there. It is just so much more fun than dragging off the ricers on the road
