If I haven't thanked you before, let me thank you now for getting me started on the right path in Mini racing. People wouldn't have some of these weird problems if they had built their cars following your guidelines. Not that I didn't have an odd problem or two and more than one WTF.
rc-mini came about because Tim and I (we were the 'guns' back in '96, Tim still is, I CBF any more) were constantly getting asked 'How do I do this?' etc, etc..
And one early morning at work for Mr Henry Ford the 'Why don't we do a website?' idea emerged. And on 15 Sep 1996 rc-mini.net was born...
I'm still astounded that a lot of what we put on the site back then is still relevant. I'm equally astounded that so many people read what's there, and then ignore it completely and do the opposite!
I also can't believe I've been racing Minis all this time....
