I just logged on to get my daily fix of the Uphillracers site & spotted someone who was building a Mini .............. oooh I thought.

Then realised it was MarkyD

Hello old fella

Fabulous,

Only thing I can think of to say is not to forget deadlines. Target (end Feb?) to end all improvements (allows a month for overrun). You obviously want to shake it down somewhere & that can be a problem – anyone any current knowledge of what the score is at Teeside, Elvington, or anywhere else Northeast-ish?

I would have thought 3 Sisters would be good for a brand new vehicle, open pit lane last time I was there, and you can come in when you feel it is neccesary. Teeside normally have a test day which is a nice piece of tarmac, but I dont know what the charges would be.

teesside would be ideal as i'm only 10 mile away, javalin run an open pit lane at elvington as well which is quite good, just heavy on tyres. 3 sisters is a bit of a drive away.

I have deadlines in mind and currently managing to hit them. The next one is getting tight, i want all the bodywork and welding done, so the chassis is ready for minifixation and mini-sprite to paint by xmas

[Minisprinter]

The deadlines i'm working to are

1) frame ready for painting by xmas
2) Painted by mid Jan
3) Alloy bulkheads in by mid feb
4) Car reassembled end feb
5) Wiring done mid march
6) Over run mid April
7) Sink an orange juice or 2
8) Testing from mid march to end april
9) Skip 1st round of 16v mini championship at olivers mount (no place for a new car)
10) not sure after that but car MUST be developed by 3rd July for my brothers 40th as he is driving it on a track day.
11) winter 2010, fit supercharger

Wigton MC usually organise a test day at Teesside in March some time prior to the Good Friday Sprint, good value and attended by fellow Sprinters so more civilised than an open track day.

Maybe you should of thought about that before being rude!
