Got it back on its wheels and realised it needed some suspension modifications. Drove it and realised it needed better brakes, sold it to a numpty at that point who killed it a month later. We were all young once. I had a Wolsey Hornet and built up an engine out of an allegro 1100 block, Cooper head and gearbox with a high lift cam. Might have well stuck with the stock 1000cc for the money spent. Having said that, I had a 1983 fiesta 1100 and made up a 1300 with a big cam. Could believe how different the engine were to get it fitted but It would rev off the rev counter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted September 14, 2022 Author Share Posted September 14, 2022 Mini Cooper S was my dream car. Never got it. Was gifted far more powerful cars at the time but that was the car I really wanted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Fallsalot Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 A mate of mine had a Mk2 Transit with a Cosworth engine in it but fitted to the standard 4 speed gear box bit of a waste but nothing would beat it off the lights if he could change gear fast enough 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i was about 14 they were constructing the A470 past my old mans house to Merthyr i was always out looking for things to pinch. One day I'm walking along the dirt road they created for their plant to travel along when a big four wheel drive tractor came bouncing towards me it was flat out and all over the place and skidded to a stop along side me followed by a massive cloud of dust, i thought i was in for a bollocking for being there but when all the dust settled it was just my mate he pinched it a few miles up the road and like you i had to have a go 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the bomb went off whilst they were making the warning phone call, they were still saying the name of their group 'Mudiad Amddiffyn Cymru' and the timer finished its work because they were having trouble pronouncing it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
