Erm, **goes to fetch calculator** from around '74 'til '81. Great fun :)

Ah right, i wasn't even thought about then! lol... My mate Carl raced Cadets, Junior TKM, JICA, ICA and Formula A all through his youth! He's only 22 now though........

Decided to go for a change about a month ago from my previous car, so booked a test drive for a MCS and that was it for me!!! Didnt even bother test driving any other cars....I knew the MCS was the car for me!!!

Couple of weeks later I'm now the proud owner and the envy of all my mates, because at the age off 20 all my mates drive corsas, 206s, saxos...etc!!! HAHA

Loved it when I saw prototype piccys. Loved the classic, and just generally being a car fanatic, so I like a lot of things. But I don't think there is anything that can replace the Mini. Nothing, that I remember getting so excited about as a child (I was only 10 when it was launched :o:o)

That's OK Kosta, just rub it in:p It just means I'm mature enough to enjoy the MINI, and yes, I can fit the Zimmer Frame in the boot.

Have you tried the outdoor Kart track in Preston? Took my youngest (9) to see if he wants to be the next Hamilton........ If he is I can retire earlier:D

One last thing. I know there's loads of threads on the subject but I can't find the answer - is there a GTT top brace for the r56 yet (look like nice people, but the website is, well, :aargh::aargh: )? I reckon that's what'll make the 'S' much more like a Kart :smile:
