	That is looking very nice Don`t know why but it looks kind of American, in a good way though ! It really needs to be featured in one of the mags though, save us from another month of Sportspack arches and Superlights !!!

	Bryn has sorted the mag feature, I'm told it will be going on the cover of Mini Mag soon! (it was quite a good laugh!! allways good to meet fellow RR's) I don't think i will make it to MITP this year I'm afrade, i did want to go but i cant find anyone to come along with me and the cars currently incapacitated as the altenator bearings went boom!! still i will probably make the final dicision sunday morning (plus i don't relly like minis that much! )

Bit nasty but i couldn't be a$$ed looking at all the minis at CaRS, infact on the Sunday the only ones i noticed and digged was this one and that ride BMX pick up! Slater don't get too pi$$ed (as the americans put it) about your post build niggles, its a big credit you got it finished so fast too. most people* don't finish stuff like this! Awesome - love it. PS: how do the wide wheels handle? *no official poll undertook

	I like it, it's takes a lot for a Mini to really capture my attention, and you've done it! Colour scheme is a stroke of genious as well, it's just such a clean, thorough looking build. I can only hope to build something half as cool some day! Credit to ya mate!
