A race prepped one, with a roll cage and full harness, and wearing a
skid-lid?

I bet you would, though I wouldn't like to try it...

Cheers,

Its a Bini adventure!

you wouldn't get such a traumatic crash in the old mini, due to less
peripheral mass !

also a classic mini has a much lower centre of gravity, ive seen them spin
horizontally when hitting a tyre wall rather than flip several times.....

And dopey demonstrated his lack of knowledge yet again:-

You are so cluless its unbeleivable.
I didn't mention any two penny short banger hotrod circuits.
I was talking about *the* bend on *the* track where *that* video was shot.
The binis raced in the german cup are nothing like the wheezing restricted
jcc cars you get in the UK.
You comments about classic safety above are romantic, but untrue, unfounded
and unresearched.
One of the chaps I used to drink with in Drayton(Abingdon) was on the BMC
rally team during its glory days with MG's and Mini's, a lot of his photo's
and stories would disprove your blinkered ideas.
A crash is a crash, no matter what you have it in.


I like being regarded as clueless, only someone that truely didnt know what
they were talking about would consider Palace and Hatch as a two bit banger
circuit, you were talking about on corner on one track like it was your own
exclusive universe, and i repeat my earlier unanswered question, where is
the binis international success when as you say they compete in their own
cup, cant they race against other cars or is that something that BMW has
engineered to give the impression of model superiority? I never made
comments about classis safety, i refered to the fact that a car smashed in
the 60;s was better built and therefore would finish a race more than a
plastic coated copy, my blinkered ideas are based on fact, my family worked
at MG in Abingdon, so your second hand stories at a seedy bar in drayton are
of no use to anyone, a crash is a crash, but far more funnier when it
happens in a Bini

And as for the wheezing restricted jcc cars, it looks like John Cooper
Garages is closing down?  Even Mike Coopers lost interest as I here his
personal numberplate HIS FUN now adorns an Aston Martin instead of a
BINI.

With no outright Monte Carlo Rally Wins (or any!) to note, it looks
like the BINI will be forgotten about in years to come.
