It certainly has! Well spotted :p
lovely sounding motor with a Dog box too! Mmmmmmmm...
That's the best thing about Mini racing... The sound of competition gearboxes and the smell of Castrol R :D:D

Think I'd like a shot of that wee beastie! :D

i think the mini has had a motorbike engine put in the back to power the rear wheels.

Sorry, gotta disagree :p;)
It's lifting the back wheels on corners, and he's got the big grippy tyres on the front :D

...and it would never lift the back at the end of the clip if the engine was in the rear.. :p:p:p:D

...and that's not a mo-bike engine noise :p:p that's a (t)rusty ol' A-series :D:D
