Default First autocross with Mini

Accomplished another goal with my Mini by running an autocross. It's been over 25 years since I ran competitively in one of these. Half the runs were in the wet, and I DNF'd several times, but it was a blast. It pretty much did what I wanted it to do, which is hard to do with many cars in such a competition. Can't wait to do it again.

Congrats! Sounds like you had a lot of fun. Wet driving is always some seriously great experience. Any photos or video from the event?

Monday after the autocross, I bought a small action camera I plan on having on the car at future events. Hey Pelican, do you guys ever end up with take off wheels? I am looking for a set of 16" bridgespoke wheels that was an option I believe on a lot of Minis. It may have been standard on Clubmans.

Great, so next time you can definitely get some good footage. No, unfortunately not, but! You can try your luck with searching on Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market. Lots of good used parts inventory on that site. You can search for the year Clubman the wheels came on and it should pull up lots of options for you.
