    @Dozers Dad, found this photo from the Brighton Burn Up weekend.
    The UK's fastest MX5 (he had the trophies to prove it) 250bhp from a normally aspirated First Generation engine.
    This is not the hairdressers car you are looking for!

    Off to Durham for a few days. Mrs CB ran me into the station in her MX-5 - quite fun really. Thankfully I wore a disguise so no one would recognise me, so no harm done to my manly reputation...

    Edit: I’ll save you the effort - “what manly reputation?!?”

    My mates got an MX-5 for sale. Not the original engine, had a ford Scorpio V6 fitted!!! Reputedly putting out close to 300bhp!!! He's got 4 of them currently, so this one needs a new home.

    You fancy it @Dozers Dad ???:p

    That is quite laughable really !!! 2.9 V6 and only 192bhp:eek:
    Can only tell you what I was told, but can't image it too difficult to get 300bhp from that lumpo_O

    I also have a Mini. 2013 that i got 4 yrs ago. Great mpg, 1.6 and only 2400 lbs so pretty peppy. Just a local runabout so still only 33k on the clock. Nice thing is i do all the maintenance and have learned with youtube how to reset all the maintenance minders.

    IMG_20191201_150534.jpg That's it 2019 season over.

    In numbers ;-

    2 - Targa Rallies,
    3 - Tar Autotests,
    6 - 12 Car Navigation Rallies,
    7 - Grass Autotests.

    We have won the semi-expert 12 Car title with 3 wins in class (novice winners last year).

    1 Tar test class win.

    Grace finished 2nd in ladies championship and 7th overall in the club championship.

    I got 4th overall in the club championship. Quite pleased with that for my first full year competing in the Mini. Missed out on 3rd place by 4 points (102 to 106 points), but gives me a goal for next year.

    Thanks for all the encouragement over the year, and 2020 season starts in February. Just need to get the Mini fixed by then ( power steering pump, again).

    Utterly praiseworthy achievements by both Grace and you!

    Grace's 2nd place is a truly fantastic achievement and what a way to target the top spot!

    Nice wee haul at tonight's awards. Wee cup for class win at a tar test, big trophy and glass for semi-expert 12 car championship and the best one is the smaller cup - got it for top Marshall in the club, elected by chief Marshall for our work this year.

    At dinner dance now, pissed:p
