        Yes, Thinking about running in Mini Miglia next season. Not 100% decided yet, it really depends on getting a suitable car.

                    Jezz looks like you have a very nice car there it should be competitve in class E. We are all very gentle in Class E, it's the others!. No only joking. DMN is a very friendly championship.

                        Hi Ant. I run 7" x 10" MB split rims. They may be a bit wide and fragile for road use however people do run them on the road. I would suggest you run 6" x 10" minilights for the road. The arches I get from Peter Vickers at Altered Images Coachwork in Strood. They are the same as the Ian Curley ones but are glassfibre. I tend to break them quite often so they are a cheaper option.

                            I think they are about £60.00 a set but I could be wrong. 13's do look good but most believe that 10's give better handling.
