It looks like the MINI Countryman Trophee Andros has been configured for just two doors, right? That is, two doors and then the whole back comes off?

Yup it's a big clamshell type arrangement.

Here's a high flying shot of the WRC Rally car. I'm glad they will be competing this year after missing the initial deadline for entry.

I caught some of the Paris-Dakar rally this week. Part way through the MINIs were doing well in class!

Dakar Rally has moved to South America, but drivers are still keen to do battle in motorsport's most dangerous event

A friend of mine is the commentator for the TV coverage of the 2012 Dakar... I've never watched anything like it. Hard core.

He shot me a shout out last night when a MINI was splashing through a deep stream... "Don't try this at home with your MINI!"
