And because of you i'm now no longer a snow virgin, As your my first full photoshoot that's i've done in the snow, so you'll always be special to me  Well matt you was my first too mate. Jeff was chating to me yesterday. And the lad from miniworld said it was a pity i went to mini mag with the car and i just said you paid me. 
Well i got up yesterday but had slept in and was late for the brooklands show, but as its just 20min away from me it wasn't too much of a drama. Well i drove the shit out of the car all the way there and when i got there i snapped the accelerator cable whilst reversing to park up, what luck. As it was early in the show Minispeed hadn't quite set up properly, so they were going to and from the shop with stuff and I managed to get one sent up. I left the car as it was, all dirty and full of crap and went to see what was about, then i came back with my new cable. As I was fitting it later in the day the Miniworld bloke came over and said to me that my car has won mini world car of the show. So yesterday was one of them lucky days I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Lol good answer mate. Mini world are always saying how people should have gone to them. But when you send them a car like Jimsters and they turn it down for being to tatty, i guess they have to try and get there cars some how!

you might want to vibration mount the MJ? I did on mine as advised by the rolling road operator. I don't know if it makes any difference, but I haven't had any issues.. I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
