If anyone is interested we're off to cover the Mini Cooper Mk1 action day at Blyton Park in the U.K today

Should be fun as we're doing a mini road trip there in a very special Mini Cooper with a lot of 1960's competition history.

Anyone interested can follow the trip in real time c/o Carblokes via Instagram.

Cheers, Whatty.

PS. Mods, feel free to edit if this offends.

 

Apologies to the 375 folk who visited this page on Saturday only find...well..not much at all.

Suffice to say we found ourselves victim to erratic cell phone service and thus could not bring the intended auto-erotica.

By way of a grovelling apology here is the Readers Digest abridged version.
