WIL'S MINI BLOG...................
Welcome to Wil’s Blog.
This is a place where Wil (pictured right receiving his award at the 2005 ALDON HSA awards lunch),
his brother Ben and other like minded mini enthusiasts can record stories, photos and other items
of interest in the world of competing minis.
While primarily aimed at minis in sprints and hillclimbs nothing is really excluded so articles about
other saloons and competitions are also likely to appear from time to time.
So, if anyone has something of interest that should be included here then you should email the text and/or photos to
Wil and he will consider it for inclusion.

Not much to tell until now
Well it's been a long time since I blogged anything; there are plenty of
excuses for this. Mainly because 3 of our good friends decided to get
married between March and June. This meant 3 stag dos, 3 weddings and
best man duties absorbed many weekend.
Also, the car only got returned to me from the body shop on 26 May and I
was then on holiday for a week. I've worked every hour available in the
last 2 weeks to get it all back together. A few modifications have been
put aside for the moment, but will hopefully be done after Prescott this
weekend.
Only the brakes to bleed and the suspension to set up now.
See you at Prescott if you're going

The Start of the New Season
So here we go with a blog of a year of hillclimbing and sprinting in a turbo charged mini.
Happy New Year to everyone (bit late).
If you don't know (and why would you) the mini got a bit damaged at Shelsley towards the end of the season. The picture was taken outside the body shop when I dropped it off a week or so ago, I am told it is now straight. The accident caused a few other things to get bent, but it will all be back together by the start of the season.
We're still chasing the elusive 160bhp, new pistons to cope and a new turbo should hopefully see us nearer the mark.
Cheers to everyone who's got in touch since this blog has been here, I look forward to seeing you all in a couple of months.
