    Thanks to all who participated in a bit of April Fools banter this morning.

    Both BMW and MINI invest a lot of time and money each year with 1st April gags.

    Its all good fun!

    Here was another one MINI UK did.

    How about a brew? Try the Cooper T, the first tea-powered MINI. Now available in appetising Earl Grey.

    Yes, the one about the F56 COOPER D being withheld because of the acoustic engine problem was a belter!

    Excellent idea and maybe they should introduce "earl grey" as a paint colour !!
    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    Actually, the one BMW did about the Force Injection Booster sounds like the BMW copywriter hadn't heard about Mini's Mission Control (ahem) 'enhancement' as the advert is very close to one BMW brand taking the p**s out of another:
