No, complelty different. This Mini is an older one. It is propelled off a ski jump with rockets. Kinda neat

That was pretty cool

That show has some budget with all the onboard they had mounted to the car...specially if they thought it might blow up.

You forgot to mention the rockets in the title though.

Had it said "Mini + Skis + Rockets + Top Gear" somewhere in there, that would have made this sucker a sticky.

That strapping skis and rockets to the back of a Mini and sending it down a ski jump is pretty effin cool when you have an operating budget like the BBC and there's too much snow to play target practice with old hoopties being shot at a caravan.

It was part of a "Winter Olypmics" episode. They did a whole bunch of sports, but with cars.

You should know that a post like this should be supplemented by a link to the full episode.
