It had an imp engine mated to a mini a series gearbox iirc. A rather strange combo imho.

I thought the A series box was part of the lump in minis...? :S

Awesome

What were the other 'bits n bobs' you needed? Did you have to prepare the car at all?

Yeh it is, but the a-series gearbox is the worst known to man for transmission loss and general rubbishness

I would've chosen a better gearbox imho.

I got slagged by the start marshalls all day because everytime I pulled up to the start line I had Danger Zone, the top gun theme tune playing.

So in jest my friend who had videoed me during the day made up the video below which you can download. It includes my first run where I almost lose it and a few of the last hairpin before the finish line.
