I went to @Brands_Hatch last weekend for the Mini Racing Festival. Absolutely would recommend going next year to anyone. What a cracking event. So much to see, so many cars and some new billet developments for the A-series. Fastest Mini In The World 2025 youtu.be/oSEhFMSlhmE

The Hawker Hurricane is woefully absent from VE Day imagery. Remember that, without it, Britain would have fallen and not been available as a launch-pad for the invasion. It’s that simple. Suck it up, Spitfire fanbois. And gals. Repeat please.

I made a mistake 20 years ago and now I’m paying the price. I never realised how much water you could get in a door sill. Classic Mini Restoration - Sill Replacement - Part 1 youtu.be/dAw4LnIn0lQ

“Where was Max supposed to go?” Correct answer is BEHIND Piastri: Verstappen had already lost the corner as Piastri had the apex and the inside line. The driver on the outside inevitably gets hung out to dry in these situations. That’s not the rulebook, that’s just racing.
