    It certainly has! Well spotted
    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

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

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

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

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

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