[Lucky Dave]

Introducing "Bert"

Bert is out company test car, its a 2003 Cooper S in indi blue.

Bought in need of a new clutch, new fly wheel and brakes he was pushed into the ThinkMini workshop and a few days later drove out the track ready car you can see here!!









Look out for future track days Bert will be there! passengers rides no problem!

Castle Combe anyone?

[MINI-Morgan]

Hey Dave! Love the Strut Brace

[Richard Crofts]

Its even more garish in close up mini-morgan

Good to see Bert on show now Dave! As the first track day passenger that went in Bert I can attest its a right hoot! Daves squeeling driving may not be as fast as his business partner Adrians, but heck is it fun

[Shorty]

Still loving those wheels Dave, just gotta convince the other half......

[Lucky Dave]

They come with a free bunch of flowers!

Out of interest, whats the tube in the 3rd picture down?

It looks like you have removed the front airbox feed and replaced it with something else.

I see, did it work?

[MINI-Morgan]

We need some front ducting that will blow straight over the inlet manifold to cool that as fast as possible Testing will be fun

[James@fomsport]

you weren't lying to me when you said you had a special colour in mind for that brace when i was down not subtle but very cool !, oh my brother told me you called a few weeks back but when i called back it kept going to answer phone

[Lucky Dave]

Sorry James thats the problem with having 2 phone lines!

[James@fomsport]

no worries mate i know the feeling my personal phone is MIA somewhere in my office, got a few things that are needing done on the cooper before the years out so will be giving you a shout in the next few weeks as id imagine id need to leave the car with you for a week or two
