Saw a mountain bike on the train this morning "M3 GTS".

It had the famous M tri-colour stripes beside the M3 and the GTS logo was also in the right type-face, as was the rest. Looking online, I can't see anything like it. I guess it is a non-official production.

Missing two wheels, a 4.4L V8, two clutches and 450hp. :wink:

Wow that's interesting. I wouldn't mind having a go on one of those, just so long as it was someone else's money!
