AprilNewsWirralThe 2012 Wirral to Llandudno Run on Sunday 15 January started off cold and frosty but, fortunately, stayed dry all day, with clear blue skies greeting the Minis on arrival at Llandudno. A fantastic turnout of 117 cars braved the cold, coming from as far away as Cornwall and Bristol. The Minis attracted a large crowd on Llandudno Prom and were enjoyed by all ages. Well done to Wirral Minis for another great event. See www.wirralminis.com.

BRSCC Mighty Minis Championship
Tuesday, 21 February 2012 00:00

AprilNewsRacerThomas Moseley is 20 years old and a Mini enthusiast from Yorkshire. Currently at college, and working part time at Halfords, he spends all his spare time and money on his Mini racing car. Thomas will be competing in this year’s BRSCC Mighty Minis championship.

He has Minis in his blood, as his great grandfather owned a very special Mini. In 1965 the millionth Mini came off of the production line at Longbridge. A draw took place where it was won by a BMC employee. However, the very next Mini made was won by BMC customer, Alfred Benton, Thomas’ great grandfather. You can see this Mini at www.britishpathe.com/video/millionth-mini.

Drama on the Monte Carlo Historic Rally
Wednesday, 01 February 2012 00:00

FebNewsScrappyIt looked like team MiniWorld’s hopes of a successful Monte were scuppered last night as our team of Peter Barker and Willy Cave failed to meet a control on the first section of the rally. Our 850 Mini, Scrappy, was troubled by bad snow conditions, but so were many other cars, resulting in many DNFs last night. But all those who missed out have been thrown a lifeline by the organisers as the stage was annulled!
