Auto Express Scooped!

Auto Express Scooped!Some of you may find this funny. A few publications out there often post very creative 'photoshopped' pictures of 'concept' or 'spied' vehicles as the real magoo. This ingenius MINI enthusiast thought of a diabolical way to scoop Auto Express, a UK car pub notorious for their 'exclusives.'  So this one MINI owner decided to take his best Photoshop work, make up some figures, and send the results to Auto Express to see if they'd publish it. Guess what? They did! Hilarious! Someone should tell their Internet editor to take the article down from the site.

Thanks for the tip John!
