how dare you,



thats clearly british racing green

I don't remember seeing Almond Green with a Black roof recently, but here's a photoshop version, the identities of the innocent have been protected!

I'm rather fed up with almond green and white (goes hiding) so I just thought a black roof could look allright. Now it seems rather cutting edge, as noone apparently has done it before....

It has been done before

A company called Vitesse made a model of Pat Moss' 1962 Monte Car, but mistakenly painted it green...

...which has led to the odd replica being built.

Some progress has been made.

I still remember when my Green Mini Special, was a ALL year car, and it had its winter wheels on,
no one could catch me, when there were snow on the roads, when the Mini had these on
no wonder BMC could win all those rallies

Unfortunately I didn't beat the Elan, but he was in a different class. Way too much power on the straight.

We had that too, mind you these days they spray salt everywhere.

But in the old days, it was on with the studded tyres, a local racedriver made his own, he was so good at it, that he exported them to the Swedish & Norwegian ice race drivers.

Well they do make some good ones too , Frazier & Big Bang Theory are my favorits

its the same in the Copenhagen Historic GP, in the old days, they had a short straight.

The Mini,s beat most cars back then, even the ones in the bigger class, but with the new long straight, the Yank Tanks get the advantage.

I overtook it into the hairpin as I can brake soo much later. However, after the hairpin it gies uphill, which ment it went downhill for me (Pun intended)

A new pair

Now together again..



Yes, one of the CR65s had lost its air
