I have been chatting with a friend from work who has a son with a cooper S. The mini has been to crail raceway a few times and is running 15 seconds for the strip.. what would I expect to get with my 135? I can see a bit of a good natured challenge brewing....

Pizzaboy ran a 13.9 at Crail in his standard S1.

2up would make the difference, that and obviously the state of the timing / start bit / and how brutal you were.
Shug, he`s about, and I will remind him he owes you £.

Who cares! If you bought a Lotus for 1/4 mile speed you have bought the wrong car.
Ask him to match you round Knockhill

Would love to... cue the embarasing fact that at the MMC track day last year Pauline passed me in a Cooper S.... still it was first time at knockhill with the car, have done a few! more miles since then.

My thoughts exactly
Leave the 1/4 mile rubbish to the big bhp guys.
