RWD, Mid Engine MINI build project..

Having a dedicated track car built by a well respected/known member of NAM...

Enjoy!





Was going this route (stock chassis) before it became a tube frame build.... buuuut, changed direction! Should be one fun *** car when it's done!! BTW tho, I am not doing the work - I don't have the skill.

Ahhhhh....

So, S-Driver, the "Cat is out of the Bag" sort-of speak

Do you think it will beat this one around WGI?

Ya, I know that it is you in the video - it will be interesting to see how much this video "changes" with the new car.

Thanks for sharing with everyone.

Charlie,
There could be some nifty mods in there somewhere for Gollum II, my guess is you were thinking about that as you were watching the "Show"... but, ya know, you might not be able to sneak it into the stock class, especially if you go to a mid-engine arrangement...someone might notice

It is great that there are people with this kind of talent out there and we get to see it...

Hoping to be at least 10 seconds faster around WGI when it's done! The SPU record is a 2:06.xx...
