Are you mini owners playing a game?

I would chuck the dubs in this, but I think my 36 hp aircooled engine might have a struggle to keep up with you lot I'll take you on in the Polo though!

Ohh and btw I think the reason the race tuned engined imp broke down was because it couldn't handle the slow pace hahaha.

Imp vs mini?? Pah!!! As if the imps didn't get humiliated enough back in the sixties by us, they want to have a go now!!! Sure they were as quick, but couldn't win cos they kept peeing themselves before the end of the race with their posh but porous see thru aly heads!!! So how do the imps intend on beating us round a race track when they couldn't make it on a five mile crawl around Thanet??!!!!! Pmsl!!! Minis rule ok!! I feel a fight coming on!!!!!!!!

And as for mr and mrs rover v8, you know what they say about men with big non running( properly anyway) classic rovers......you shouldn't pick on those less fortunate or smaller than you, ok??? You you you nasty people!! Minis will rule and there is nearly enough of us on here to take over the worrrld!!! Mwoh mwoh mwoooooh!!!lol

HaHa, so not only do we get to embaress and upset a few imps, we get to go for world domination too?
As for richard's imps, before he can think about taking on the mighty mini's he may have to get Kristian to stop stealing parts out of his engine bay! Lol

miniman77 just remember i can fit ur car in my boot, and notrunning properly is still better than minis......

I wish I still had my Bug.
Was always quicker round brands, and Mini's used to pull over to let us pass on Rally's.

Having said that Mothers Mini clubman estate, in the mid 70, was a fun motor to drive, Tuned 1300cc minis in the 70's were rare then.

When we were children we were always running to keep up when out walking, pedalling like mad to keep up on a bike.
So it was no surprise to find when she started driving we had to be quick to keep up

Kristian cant be blamed for that Alan as it was my brother Jay who had robbed the parts from my singer that day! Honestly we have 2 flippin garages of imp spares and he pinches parts from a working car!

Regarding Kris's orange imp on the cruise Lee is right. Because he has a competition engine built to run at high rpm it did not suit the slow pace at all! I missed all of that as Jay had the imp with Kris and I was driving my landie.

Anyway on the subject of trackdays Id love to have a go and hope to be building my turbo imp this summer for that specific purpose.

Ok so the plan is for Luke to build project rat and for us to arrange said track day before the summer and your turbo'd imp then Richard?
Hehe

Track day sounds good to me, althou to make things a bit fairer, bungee cord will be attached on the back of this turbopimp and the front of my mini and hope for the best

yep, I shall nail on a spare saab Garrett T3 onto a 930 engine. What could possibly go wrong?

If the build doesnt happen in time my bro is more than happy to take my place on the track in his 300zx twin turbo. If you look at it from a power to weight perspective im sure its still a fair fight for you mini boys.

Hahaha that sounds fair Richard!

noo this is purely a mini and imp, you cant cheat with that nissan!

Nissan 300zx twin turbo eh!! Alright on a straight bit of road but show a quick bend and it will all end in tears!! No match for a quick mini thru the twisty bits!!! Haha

oh luke! Ive just showed your post to my bro and he reckons he can take those twisty bits sideways quicker than a mini!

Richard, you can put all the Hillman badges you have on that 300zx and it wouldn't disguise it as an Imp! Lol. And I'm sure Kristian would do just fine on the first few corners but all jap cars come unstuck and fall over.
We'll have ya, sun, rain or snow!!!

No your right mate it would be tricky to disguise it as an imp!

My brother Jay owns the 300zx, Kristian owns the orange imp. You may not have met Kris yet. Was he at the Tues meeting I couldnt make?

I don't think I have seen Kris since the Christmas Cruise! A shame really!

I will get on his case Lee and try and get him along to the next one!
