    Matt, I always think back to when you were so frustrated filling all the rust holes, how you struggled and how you worked through everything, seriously well done. You’ve coupled that with taking us along as you actually enjoy using it, it’s very cool to see and to take part in from our homes!
    Great job brother, a brilliant effort in every respect!

    Nice driving Matt. The Mongrel sticks like glue to the track, very good cornering. The M3 out accelerates you on the straights and so it should because it has a huge engine by comparison, but you can out-stick him in the corners. Ditto for the Yaris. because of its turbo. Nothing to be ashamed of there mate, that's for sure!

    Things we have in common: I had a 100E in the '60s; I worked at Cadwell Park on several occasions in the '70s; I was a centre lathe turner on a lathe identical to yours in the '90s.

      @petelattimer6808 Před 2 lety

      true BUT if those are the daily drivers of the owners, you dont know if theyre pushing to the limit or not, plus theres also the fact that the mushy pea is set up solely for track use (suspension etc) whereas those 'dailies' are probably set up as they left the factory.

      @clivewilliams1406 Před 2 lety

      @@petelattimer6808 Not only that but the mushy pea must have a better power to weight ratio than the other vehicles. The lightness of the vehicle certainly must help in the corners. The real test would be against other similar track orientated machinery in a Clubman's race.

      @@billgaytes6845 The mongrel ought to have a similar power to weight ration as the M3 but being lighter will be more nimble through the bends especially as it has MX5 underpinnings and should be more torsionally stiff with the roll cage that should assist the handling. Maybe its the human interfaces that are different?
