Hello,

New to any sort of Forum so thought I would try out a MINI one, I currently Race in the Mini Challenge - Car No.5 (Ian Murray).

It was Estoril Blue with Orange Wheels until I had a crash on the Jim Clark Rally - Rolled about 7 times at 95 mph - now thats a MINI adventure!!!

Should be back up and running for next meeting - will post some pictures later on.

Ian, pleased to hear that you are OK. We saw the photo of the car and were shocked to see the results.
I took a couple of photos of your car at Leith and also there are a few from the first race at Knockhill earlier in the season.

Welcome to New Mini Scotland.

3GGG - Cheers for the Photos - they are the business, havent figured out how to post any yet but as soon as I can I have a few smart ones!!!

Julz - My co-driver is from Edinburgh and does not have an Elise (has a Porsche Turbo which is the business, although my mini still rocks!!!).

Ah, I think you co-driver has an evil twin with the same name and past time then!!:D
I shall not tell my hubby dearest what car he has got as the turbo is his dream car (he has a 964 RS Lightweight Touring!! piccies are in the gallery cause he came to the Borders with us!!)
