My next door neighbours went in their original cooper. Apparently there was some mental twin bike-engined mini that was quite a crowd puller?!
We went to the Rally Day at Castle Coombe...

I'll speak to either Paul and H later on today then to hear all about it. (Bummer about Rich 
) As for you starting your car up - tart! 
When are you going to let me have a go in that btw?!
You taking it down to Castle Coombe?
Edited to add - I'm doing just fine...

Dave,
I got a couple of people to give me some advice and prices in turbos and supercharging and have decided to keep them as they are for now due to a couple of reasons,
1) The car is having a few teething problems so putting loads more bhp through it might not be the best way to help it at the mo
2) Cant afford the stupid money I was quoted!!
Thanks for your advice anyway mate

No probs. If you want to chat to someone in the future then let me know and I can get hold of Jon at Maxsym.
Maxsym are the people behind the engine in the Radical that smashed the Nurburgring lap record, and also the people behind last years World Championship winning Sidecar outfit (running with an R1 engine). Have a look at my website to see the credentials of Jon Baker. Top lad. I will be seeing him in a couple of weeks time at Assen so will mention it to him.
