James I've just been given a great colour photo of your car when it was one of the two Sheffield based 'Aurora Gears' racing team Coopers that Trevor and the gorgeous Anita Taylor ran for a season, also one of it behind Liz Jones in 'LIZ 1', I'll email 'em to you.

Hi James, Good to see you making progress with the Newtune car. I thought you would be further on, I guess Minis to Monte 2010 must have burned you out. When you get it finished try to keep on the black stuff this time! If you need any tips on how to drive a mini fast and safely - ask your mum. Kev
