close....but no:bandit: cigar!

'the brick' was a legendary speedway mini in it's time at our local track...at the time,most drivers were running huge v8's etc,and front-wheel drive racers were virtually unheard of.On a tight oval,the Mini made a huge impact for its sheer balls,and made huge inroads into the saloon car championships of its time.Fortunately the 'saloon'racing class is a 'minimum contact'code,I don't think it would ever have been raced had the rules been full contact.

The 'other' yellow Mini,which I had in my sig,was from the movie "GOODBYE,PORK PIE".Yous synopsis of the film is amazingly accurate and detailed,and I take my hat off to you....now sit down!

And you have never seen this flick???

I never got to see it all, surely some place has a Video of it though

nah.......American TV is rubbish I can't think of that many good US TV shows

We have a better all-round selection (Despite fewer channels)

moonman- Was your car ever on Rate my Ride, there was a GXE similar to yours, so it probably was

Yep...thats the Moonmans.......i think there are a few on there from our club now.

yip it was on there for a wee while but i took it off after one guy started to really bag it and turn nasty as all the comments on rate my ride seem to do.......so i got mag and turbo to remove it......seems alot of people i have talked to have done the same thing.....i got no problems with some criticsm about ya car or what ever but ya get sick of the "get a rotor" comments and the "sell the nanas car" after awhile.
