Fancy a GP?

If you've got past that first line then read on.

The CSL has killed the Mini. No surprise really. I need a second car as a runabout, nothing more.

When the CSL is away for winter I'm going to have a hare brained car as that runabout that, to be honest, is overkill.

Maybe time for someone else to enjoy it?

Just been out in 1511 for a run to keep the dinky battery charged up, the first run in it since I bought Cesil.

As already said, although Cesil wipes the floor with it in every way imaginable, as a Mini it's outstanding.

Different class of cars give different views I suppose and maybe not a good idea to compare them side by side.

Anyhow, to the point.
.
It's going to be having a set of Miichelin Super Sports fitted in Autumn, the AD08s will be binned and it'll be my Winter car for when Cesil is stashed

Agreed.

Keeping the GP though as, with all of the mods, it drives ridiculously well.

The ironic thing is that the whole idea was to get it to be ideal as a track car and I have no doubt that it's now perfect for it. Yet now it's done I fancy taking it to a track less and less, mainly because I'm wary of some dick trying to race and trying to prove a point but only ending up running into me!

Strange that with me trying to be away less and having now what could be classed as a part time job, I have the car, I now have the time but not the will

Maybe I'm worrying needlessly and would probably end up loving the experience of a track day.

Looking forward to Silverstone on 1st June so I can have a watch and see how it all works..
