    The Dakar cars have as much stock MINI parts as my KIA Rio!

    wow, excellent video. reminds me of Top Gear production work.

    Not sure I agree with Jay saying that a "lot" of the race car is stock Mini....don't see how that's possible?

    So, hopefully this will help quiet the haters who say the CM does not belong in the Mini lineup....doubtful, but I can always hope..:biggrin5:

    It's the most fun I have ever had in a 4 door.

    Very nice video they spent some real money producing that. That car is really something, a BMW X3 wearing a MINI clown suit. What a piece of kit. :Thumbsup:

    I think Jay had his fingers crossed when he mentioned all the stock pieces on that buggy. :wink:
