    Great stuff that, thanks for posting it Steve. You will never see vintage racers push that hard on this side of the pond.

    Besides the great action I like this one because there aren't any fender flares, wide tires, etc. They're modified, obviously, but at least it looks like a bunch of Minis straight off the street being driven by maniacs. :Thumbsup:

    Like they say it's more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow. But we know driving a fast one fast is best. :D
