Mini Rocketman concept (2011) at 2011 Geneva motor show

The new Mini Rocketman is manna from heaven for critics who bemoan the new BMW Mini’s growth spurt from bijou city car to bloated supersized mini.

Don’t dismiss the Mini Rocketman as pie-in-the-sky concept.

We get treated to the Arsenal players doing a lift or two, managing a Plié at the bar and even a Pas de deux, Pirouette and an Arabesque (and now we’ve run out of ballet terminology).
