Talking My 3 wheel mini!

Sorry for the delay in putting pictures up but only just had them through from www.minifilms.co.uk

As some might already know, my mini was filmed on 1st October at Curburough Sprint Circuit for Ultimate Extreme Mini DVD which is out to buy from 3rd December I think

Here are the photos which were taken by the production people and sent to me on a disc.

Matt

P.S Weather was dry in the end but b1oody freezing

2 x Yamaha R1 engines mate, yeah very fast 3secs to 60

Better than 2 wheels, can keep up with most bikes and can go round them on the bends

I love the old Minis - especially your little fat, red one!. Far more character than the new ones. I bet that bad-boy goes like hell!

Not sure it can be better than 2 wheels, but might well be next best thing. How much did that cost in total? How are the engines coupled? And does it have a reverse (or 6)?

IIRC it cost Matt a shed load, circa £30k+ and it might have been nearer to the £40k mark.

Matt, did you manage to sell it in the end, as Paul gave the impression somebody was picking it up soon?
