Indeed they punch well above their weight considering they're only a recycled Metro. I remember trying to keep up with the first Midas I saw in my old Austin 1100, I never saw which way it had gone! my next car was a Midas :D

I think you have just discovered why we are all hooked on these cars! I hope you are starting to feel that all the hard work and heart ache has been worthwhile and that you will be rewarded by many more such Midas adventures ;)

I also hope to see your car at Stoneleigh and/or other meets this year.

Best regards,

Alistair
