Hi there

Been hanging round in neutral for a while & figured it was time i said hi to everyone.
I am from Newcastle, Australia & been modifying, showing & racing performance cars for the past 20 years or so.
I have a fairly well modified MCS that i bought new in 04.
Also had a heavily modified Sti coupe till recently that i have been running in hillclimbs & track events over the past few years, which is where my MCS is now heading towards.

Welcome, nice color and bits on the MINI, how many hillclimb events do you have each year? The MINI should kickbutt.

it does push it up about 1/4" initially but has now moulded the bonnett insulation & is back to fitting perfect again.

Ive been doing the NSW state championship for the last 3 years which includes 12 different hillclimbs/year, plus i do a couple of club events.
Started doin tarmac rallies too but they are very expensive to compete in.

Thanks mate, the big Mini news here is that the Mini Challenge will be run here for the first time in 2008, should be great for brand awareness.
