Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

A guy on the Mini forum I'm part of entered his car in to the last round of the popular Time Attack series

His first experience of competitive racing and he came 3rd in his class, one of only four FWD cars in the class too.

He's entering the full season next year, he surprised a lot of the regular teams, and what's more he drove the car to and from the track, the pit crew was a bunch of forumengers and they didn't have a parts van or truck or anything, just a 4 Mini convoy to transport one set of spare wheels/tyres and a few parts like driveshafts.

Amazing. Car looks great and its good to see that you don't have to throw loads of money to do well !
