Didn't realise it was illegal to use on the road. Best not use it on the road until I detune it.

Think I'll just use it for sprints and hill climbs (keep it off the road) until it needs a rebuild, then reduce compression / change head and cam for unleaded. I think that would be a hell of allot cheaper than starting from scratch. The historic rego in the mean time costs buggar all per year to keep.

I have another modified street Mk2 Cooper S avaliable to me (my Dad's) that I can play with on the street to get my Mini fix.
