MG Midget and Sprite General - Not sure if I posted this....

Here in Aus, they have track days (under the name of GEAR Days [Golden Era Automobile Racing] and is open to both racing and sports cars or wannabe's).. This footage is of Bruce Roberts enjoying his Frogeye... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4Bh-OH-BeI

In conversation with owners of the other cars, ALL said they were trying hard....!

Enjoy..

1275 A series.... Seriously.!

Ohhh yes, it's fuel injected, Turbo'd and has mapped ignition....

Amazing what you can do with the old A series isn't it.. :-)


Also.... he was only running standard Frog DRUM brakes front and rear until very recently...

Ok, those E type drivers were quite sad then!!! There's no way on this earth would I let a 1275 fuel injected turbo Frogeye with mapped ignition and drum brakes overtake me if I was in an E-Type!!! It looked a fast circuit too which makes it worse.

Hi Mark,
Mascot is ready and waiting. Please ask him.
Manty thanks

Neil, was that your E-type disappearing backwards into the bushes then?
Paul Walbran

Ha Ha. I would love an E type. Such great cars. I particularly like the coupe.
