John actually drove the car at eastern creek too. Said he had a ball.

It's a beautiful car. Really well done. I put some pictures of it in the event thread

Hi Kerrie,

Glad you had a good time at MCM - just to correct you -

The John Leffler Racing mini was actually been driven by John and was purchased by my mate Mark Broadhead 5 months ago from Barry Collins.

John was delighted to drive the car again (aparentely he was so exciting he couldn't sleep Saturday night) and it was refreshing to talk to John and his wife Sandy and find out that one of our mini heroes is also a very humble normal bloke.

Cheers

Chris
