  • When you are at an airfield filming for the day it would be rude not to have a drag race. I challenged StefABTV to a best of 3 drag race. My Stage 2 270bhp Mini JCW Roadster versus his 240bhp Alfa Romeo 4C. Manual gearbox versus dual clutch flappy paddle. The result was a bit of a surprise !

    Make sure you head over to Stef's channel to see the race from his perspective. Don't forget to give him a Sub too 😜

    I raced an Alfa romeo 4C in my F56 Cooper S which is 286hp and 433nm and I gapped him! That was in a rolling race from 20mph in second gear to around 100mph on a private road of course, Awesome video like always👍🏻😀

    So much fun, which I was sure it was going to be before it kicked off!!! I had watched Stef`s last run in the 4C and it is blindingly fast at accelerating, so foregone conclusion, but still brilliant and you were never going to stop smiling and laughing, Stefs a great friend and you two bounce off each other, and its infectious but in a good way not a viral way!!!

I just might see it tomorrow (Saturday). Meanwhile, think of the cost saving with Ruby...and the reliability...you know it makes sense! Happy driving as always! Richard 😎😎😎😎
