This Sunday 12th Feb on BBC2 at 9:10pm, the motoring programme Top Gear will be showing for the first time a rocket powered Mini Cooper. The mini was modified by 3 members of the United Kingdom Rocket Association (UKRA) for the Top Gear Winter Olympic special they are showing.

The Mini is apparently powered by 3 Contrail L Hybrid motors. What is the outcome? Who knows, watch Top Gear and find out.
