Great track day!

Haven't driven my Mini for months due to my utter failure to get the engine rebuilt over the summer, so it was great to get a chance to drive my brother's MG Metro-engined car yesterday at Castle Combe. I was mostly driving my MX-5 but it has to be said that the Mini was far more fun. It's great to hang on to the back of 911s and Griffs through the corners, even if they do pull away down the straights.

Note to self: get on with engine rebuild this weekend!

My brother drove his Mini to the track from Brighton, and drove back again the same evening. The temperature didn't get much above 90 even when hooning it around the track. The Yoko tyres suffered a bit, though.

There was a Davrian there with a bolt-on silencer - a red one.
