Yes, it's true, and no, it's not a wind-up. A guy at work, who does a little racing on the side, has told me that the motorsport company who prepare his car are in the process of preparing a MINI with a BMW M3 engine in it.

Don't ask me how, or why, or tell me it's impossible....don't shoot the messenger!

Anyway, I expressed a keen desire to see this (I'm sceptical as hell about this) and take some photos so if anyone's interested....let me know!

Or course, you might not give two hoots, in which case.....
