Although my appreciation of Minis is pretty much non-existent (I simply don't get them) Mike, one of the Wellow Racing folks has one.

1380cc motor, with twin SUs etc.

It's a 'new' M-plate, but has been altered to look like like an old one.

He's not been able to drive it since it arrived last summer, as the clutch slave wasn't working.

Yesterday he finally sorted it out and zipped/bounced up the drive and back with it:

Suddenly he's got a touch more spark in his eyes.  :grin:
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.
