I just wanted to share this from across the water: my old 53 made it onto the front cover of Ministeri, the magazine for Mini Club Flying Finns.
Will we see any Swedes at a Finnish event next year?:cool:

Cool!!
Nice picture!
Do you have any dates for next years events?
Det hade varit roligt ta Johnny på en tripp till Finland :D
Hi Tim,
Do you know which track(s) these will be held at?
Best Regards,
Alex
Hi Alex
It's either Ahvenisto (at Hameenlinna, 1 hour north of Helsinki) or Alastaro (sort of in between Turku, Tampere and Helsinki). Ahvenisto is great fun, lots of elevation, but it's narrow and cambered, and there's little run off. Alastaro is wide and flat, loads of run off, and much less scary.
Nice to see Tim promoting the Finnish track events among Swedish Mini owners :D
Yes indeed. Would be nice to see swedish minis at our events this year. Do you guys have any good grouo photo of our r53 team to post here?

Here's a quick pic from Ahvenisto last year. 3 of those R53's will be coming to the summer meet this year :cool:

Thanks for the warm welcome Frredrik. Already looking forward to the summer meet :mrgreen:
As promised, an update on the Mini Club Flying Finns autumn track day/sauna night. This will take place on Saturday 14 September 2019 at Ahvenisto from 12-17 with an evening of sauna and Lonkero at a large summer house about 30 minutes away called Aulangon rantahuvila. If you're interested, please let me know, and we will help you make the local arrangements - you will need to book your own trip on Viking (or Silja) Line from Stockholm. Ahvenisto is about 1 hour north of Helsinki at Hameenlinna.
To the extent it helps entice you, I will do the BBQ (I have the mini-Weber coal grill in the back of the R53) and it'll be absolutely bloody fantastic. You might want to bring a case of Lonkero, as that would be welcome.
Unfortunately I'm busy this weekend :(
Oh yes! I have been looking forward to this. The track seems like a mini-nordschleife. I have a couple of meetings in Stockholm 11 september and should be in Åbo on the 12th. Any sightseeing to recommend?

This is a nice road to drive. It is whole day trip and should start early morning so you can finish it like afternoon.

Thank you for the tips. Always nice to have several to choose from. I like the free driving days you have in FInland. The only track wih free-driving in Sweden would be Gotland ring. The proprietor happens to be finnish.
I will be staying in Tavastehus before the meeting. I am really looking foreward to it. I have even bought new trackday tires, although mounted them on heavy stock rims. Keeping my fingers crossed for sunshine.
That's great! Hopefully the whole Finnish bunch will be there tomorrow slightly before 12:00. According the the weather forecast, it should not rain which is good :cool:
