At the risk of sounding stupid, I didn't know you had a mini!!!
A jeep, yes.
A couple of TVR's, yes.
Some sort of BMW X-drive thingy, yes.

I haven’t, used to and love ‘em. Had:
1968 Riley Elf, 1976 Mini 1000, 1963 Mini 850 and then Clubman 1275 with 1380 engine and an exhaust as big as your arm straight out the back, widest steel wheels known to man and massive flared arches with light blue metallic coachwork

Since you asked.

There's no, what's the word........plot twist, that's it, I like the character driven dialogue, the cinematography, the cast and even the story, but I'm afraid it's no Agatha Christie!!!!

I have returned home from a great day out watching proper cars doing proper racing at t'Oulton Park.
I have cooled down with a nice pint of gin & tonic, now I am finishing off the rest of the blackberry & apple crumble wot I made the other day with a box of custard to accompany it.
Yes, you can buy custard in a box now. It's quite tasty, too. Nom!

Here is a pic of a lovely little Lotus Elite I spotted this afternoon, tucked away near the Fogarty Moss Centre:

A question I asked about the Lotus Elite in the CARS WITH FULL FIBREGLASS MONOCOQUE thread in Kit Cars was answered in such an erudite way it restored my faith in PH.
