A couple of flashes of Longman and Mowatt in the 1275GT's though. I loved Lanfranchi's skewed explanation of cutting the last corner to steal a win at the end ! Rouse wan't happy was he ?! :lol:

A friend of mine used to own the Don Saunders Wadham Singer Dolly ( the white car with the red white and blue diagonal flash on the rear in that vid ) it was very quick, my Cooper S could stay with it to 100 but it just flew away after that, brakes were a problem with the front disks cracking regularly, I think it was tuned after its racing life, with twin 48 DCOE's, it was stage rallied, sprinted and hillclimbed, until its demise. :o
