Cornering going up a hill & over boulders shouldn't be much of a problem unless you let that mud fly onto your helmet's visor not allowing you to see.

Hmm. The image is signed. Yes, it is a photo manipulation, but I don't know if the person used the Photoshop program or not. Could have been something else...

Yeah, that's not real. The angle of the car doesn't exactly match the angle of the undercarriage, and the area behind the wheel well is just filled in black.

Nice try though. :smile:

I'm going to play devil's advocate and say it is real. The "filled in black" area could be a mud-flap. It wouldn't be very hard to bolt a classic Mini body onto a Jeep CJ5 chassis. The wheel-base is roughly the same.

Although I admit the sun-light and shadows on the body, chassis and surrounding terrain don't match too well... And where the tires meet the ground is a bit fuzzy...
