Was just picking my sister up from school and heard an engine like a, well a cross between TVR and a motorbike with sports cans.

looked in rear view mirror and this mini is flying up the inside lane and flew past me.

It had a intercooler on it, what engine could be in that?

There's loads of conversions you can do with the mini's honda vtec lumps, vauxhall redtops, a whole load of bike engines, are you sure it was an intercooler might even be a turbo'd bike motor.
