The original Italian Job last night,
Muscle car Masters, minis (Graham Russell) kicking ass against Mustangs on 7 mate this afternoon,
and the wife out visiting all afternoon,
What more is there for a better fantasy come true,
and well done GR you were awsome,

I think Davo111 is a little confused.

Andrew Bergan was the fastest mini by a mile at the MCM
Chris Collett was second with GR third.

I think the original Manton mini piloted by Bergan led all four of the races
outright on Sunday too.

The Run Down On MCM so you all know whos who in the Zoo!
Bergan Fastest mini again on all three circuits, lead all four races Sunday outright,
Second to a Mustang just in the Mini V Mustang race, (dry track) Collett 2nd Mini,
Santino third, Russell 7th.....

at my age when I have a Mini Orgasm, I get R E A L L Y confused, sorry but I only cheer for the ones I know, where they come is irelevant its just watching them in action doing what the do best, thats enjoyment to me.

Holy smoke, well done Andrew. I knew you had a good weekend but didn't realise that you were that dominant.

I hope you don't mind me asking, but where do you get your engines built?

Mexicans are to scared to run up here

Probably China, everything comes out of China now. While we are asking questions, tell us what cam your running AB, and who does your heads? Oh and whats your suspension geo?
Come on mate lets not be selfish. It must get boring being up the front all the time, how about throwing the rest of us a bone?

Hi Coatsie

Thanks-its was a good meeting for us yet again.

Motor built in-house at Mini & Moke World .
The Manton car & our last car now owned by Big Joe D
have been a progressive development as have many NSW
cars.
It has a lot of work put into it to compete against the V8's.

Shame the Mexicans don't seem as keen as the rest of us-

Good to see some Victorians make the trip up-Great to see Lance
make the trip over from WA for the second year.Big effort.

AB

That's impressive. I wasn't sure if you built your race engines in house or farmed them out to specialist race engine builders as so often happens.

Don't get to see you race often enough due to the tyranny of distance, but hope to be down south a couple of times next year. Make my day by again kicking butt!

Settle down Ric he may be running against me. Lets not give him too much support.
G.
