Call me old but dam that was good. Had me on the edge of my seat shouting at the tv. I had a imp my mate had a mini... I had a fordson super dexta and my mate had a massy ferguson 35x we used to race How we are still alive is a question.. Kids today will never understand the virtues of a carb needle set. Porting your own head and skimming it with glass and grinding paste. Brilliant film.

Imps and Minis: Quite simply the best two small cars ever made.

The Imp had a bit more top end speed and could pull out of the slow corners better, but a bit more of a handful in the corners and it doesn't brake as well either. I guess the rear engine/gearbox set up helps with traction, but hinders on braking and, maybe, makes the handling trickier. In any event, a very interesting little comparison.

@surfblue63 Жыл бұрын

Tim always thought the Imps had a braking advantage because of the size that you can get under the Imps wheels, but you can see the Mini is far more stable under braking and gains so much through the corners. Just realised this was taken 10 years ago when the HSCC Pre-65 was oversubscribed at many races. It's a pity it has dropped off in recent years.

Damn! I was willing you to catch that imp. Oh well, nearly. Thanks so much for posting this. On TV the producers think we have to see something different every 5 seconds. A sustained view from one place was fascinating. And that track - so narrow, how do you pass?

@Remington Ayden HOLY **** IT REALLY WORKED! Just got access to my instagram account after roughly 40 mins by using the site. Had to pay 15 $ but for sure worth it =) Thank you so much you saved my account!
