Sorry officer I won't let it happen again

People are always going to measure performance It's the nature of the beast whether you like it or not.

Jove you take it far too seriously you need to join the MINI cup

When on the track I measure whether i'm swearing my head off at the inside wheel spinning and epic understeer passing idiots in evos and M3s is just a bonus

I think that the demonstration is this;

"You can have plenty of fun in an almost stock car... Fit a GTT220 kit and have a bit more poke than a stock S but don't spend £000's and still get on a track and have a big grin on your face"

Simple as that my friend. Discussion closed I feel.

Im glad some folks get the point!!

The point is what you can do to a mini for £5000

Thats including buying the car

Lee will admit he had such a laugh in Bert, and he drives a Monster on the track.

Bert has been 100% reliable and its used daily, Some are intent on making a race car copy, having driven a few race cars I can say they are horrid to drive and thats not what Bert is all about.
