Subby looked ok, toeboard was bent though.

The Oulton Park Mini Festival is up next on 8th August :

Without historics and Mighty Minis it's going to be a tough sell but they've asked if I can help put a display of interesting cars together as last year. Attendees will get free tickets. Anyone interested just drop me a line. Any rally cars fancy the rally stage ditto!

Have to say Pete, i'm in two minds, my hillclimber/rally car is here...the overtly MINI content is somewhat putting me off...having not been before and with only the 7/Miglia Mini shape, is there much besides for us enthusiasts of the original or should I wait until the Gold Cup... (which i'm definitely going too)

[Pete]

Seen one Miglia , you've seen em all, ditto MINI racers , not much for the classic car nut I'm afraid. Might not bother myself.

[Brynmor]

Heck of a pitch there sir ....Gold Cup it is...

[Pete]

There's not even any Mightys.

There's not even any Mightys.

No great loss. Sorry but these just leave me cold.

Went to the Mighty race back in April at Oulton, to be fair they were a blast...really close racing, nip and tuck etc...

[YMJ]

Fair enough, but it's just the cars seem so soul less......

[Pete]

Which is why I'm only interested in historic racing, of any kind! When you watch Mightys they sound like bees in a bottle as they go round, or someone sanding a door down. Close racing though, and you don't need a Swiss bank account to take part. F1 is just soul-less, oh for the days when you could tell which car you were looking at just from the silhouette , not the current wrap it has on it. They sound like lawn mowers aswell nowadays! And you wonder why historics are on the up, pah :"it used to be all green fields round 'ere!"

You are starting to sound like me Pete
