"If your life is getting too sensible and dull, you need to join the Mini Marcos club. While most kitcar club people would trundle along to Newark once a year, the Marcos bunnies pack extra knickers and head for the Arctic Circle. If you don't believe me check out the picture of the arctic expedition parked outside the house of Kjell and Inger Wiklund in central Sweden. You will need a Mini Marcos or one of its stablemates, but fortunately these are available in the back of the mag for not much dosh, and some of them are eligible for classic racing as well, which is officially a laugh. Either write to Santa Claus in Lapland, ask a MM member to drop off a note there on the way past, or contact Roger Garland at 28 Meadow Road, Claines, Worcester, WR3 7PP, tel 01905 458533. Actually the third option is the most likely to be successful."
