12 Midgets and 1 Sprite for Castle Coombe! Better than when we tried to make it a dedicated Midget and MGB session a few years ago! I know some of you folks are cheating a bit with K series but what a great turn out!!!! (Still think my 1500 will give you a run for your money). Meredith1

[b]Midgets at Castle Coombe[/b] Hi Meredith, I'll be there in my "slow" 1964 Midget ;) So looking forward to it. We should try and get a picture of them all together. Hope it's dry this time. CC last July was wet, very very wet!

[b]Midget bhp.[/b] I'll also be there in my unmodified 1275 Midget. I've no idea how much bhp it's got but its not a lot! I could well do with another gear though as I hurtle down the straight. Hurtle is of course how it feels in the car. However those watching will see plenty of my car as it takes a long time to go past!

[b]bhp[/b] Well I do now know the bhp as I took the car to a carb and tuning specialist locally and his rolling road showed 52.3bhp. Oops, not much then. When he had finished it showed, er, 58 bhp. He said he never sees the official 65bhp quoted so close to 60 is the closest he gets on an unmodified 1275. It's a 43 year old engine with 112,000 on the clock so I guess it's entitled to be performing at less than its best. Good to get the old girl some TLC though.

There will probably be one more Midget as my V8 will not be ready, drove it at Snetterton for the first time on a circuit and the car is definitely faster than the driver! John (Red midget)
