Congratulations Robbo !!!

Katie is going to be on Cloud 9 with two MINIs to chose from I now understand a number of the comments you made regarding your Tasmania vehicle, very sneaky

Colour combination is unusual, Darryl's is the only other I have seen, and it does look good in the flesh ... nice choice

Excellent news though, you realise you've got a parts car for Maddie now

Hi Darryl,

Yesterday in the Kings Road area it must have been you tailing us. My wife was driving. Katie was waving madly through the rear window

Cool colour combination I think

Of course you are right about spare parts When I go on a track day, I should get my wife to drive Sparky out to watch. That way we have a ready made parts bin in the event of any problems

The funny part is that I heard about this plan a while back - a certain person down at Parramatta told me how hard they tried to match Alto on the M3 trade but said that they just couldn't in this particular case. I was quite surprised at first, thinking "how come Andrew has not said anything about this to anyone else?!" because you had seemingly been keeping it to yourself, I was hardly going to blurt it out to everyone on your behalf!

Hi Tim,

Thanks for keeping quiet

I think my wife found out from the same source. It may have been when she took a car down to have a fault fixed. Also, strangely enough, MM's sister and sister in law both work for the same company as my wife Not that it really mattered My wife is ecstatic anyway

Cheers

Hi,

Maddie has been down at Peak Performance. I have been getting new pads fitted, plus there is some exhaust work getting done, plus hopefully some improvements to the intercooler sprayer

However, Nick Peak also looked at the damage from the roo. It is worse than I thought. The strengthening bar behind the front spoiler is bent, plus some cracked panels. All the lights on the front side are stuffed, plus all the plastic mounting bits. Once Maddie gets out of the performance shop she is going to go to Eastern Creek on Wednesday for a drive day, then hopefully go to the panel shop to get fixed

Thankfully I have another mini to drive
