Pedro Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 This morning, having slept poorly and as I was putting on my boots to ride up north to my parents', I gave up on it, put on my trainers and went for a walk to try and catch the start of the Baja Oeste, which is 2 or 3km away. Got there in time for the first car about to go out. Had a little walk around, stayed on the less dusty side of the road, and had a look at race cars, I do like race cars. Angry sounding Hilux: The "Minis": A properly loud Ford A very cool Navarra setting off: I didn't take any money with me, which was not clever, it was proper hot and I fancied something cold to drink, there was a sandwich trailer there, and being lunch time a lot of people were starting to tuck into pork sandwiches seasoned with a healthy dose of dust Enough was enough, I was thirsty and hot, so went home: Walked home in what felt like proper heat, felt hotter than it was, maximum for today was supposed to be 32º 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all , what part of that resembles a Mini I met Maria in Germany when her boyfriend at the time was a chief mechanic for XRaid, that builds those Minis and all BMW "derived" offroad race cars, at the time they were building the X5 for the Dakar and bajas like these. I had a nice look around the shop, there were several parts equal to an X5, the indicator and windshield wiper stalks, for example The engine for several applications was based on a road one, though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
