Gotta love a Mini. Such amazing cars. Drove all mine balls out everywhere back in the day and most of the time got away with it.

How? Super sideways in the loose and it suddenly dug in? 2am ,tired, 17 yrs old inexperience so too fast around a corner resultant under steer. skidded offside wheels into a shallow roadside drainage ditch which ended abruptly outside some poor persons home. Hit end of ditch, threw car up onto two wheels, nearside wheels dug in, complete barrel roll . Remember it clearly all these years later including Billy Idol singing more more more as me and two mates flew through 360 degrees . Thankfully we escaped with minor cuts and a couple of cracked ribs. half roll cage installed may have helped a bit. advice to new young male drivers : buy a slow car with great brakes, best tyres you can buy and good crash protection

Lovely looking mini there mate. Interested to hear about your handling mods - have you fitted the rear camber plates and what do you think? I've always thought minis look like they have positive camber on the back. Dialling this out to a little bit of neg camber has to be a good thing right? Mine is a C-plate City too
