Minis on TV

Post by BlackSe7en »

A rerun of Remington Steele on Sky tonight had the PI in England. The "Royle" they were talking had a Mini and a Moke in his garage.
The first episode of the new season of Bones (Sky TV) has the Cop and Scientist in London and they hire a Mini. By the way they end up talking to an American living in London, who just happened to be the same actor who use to play an American cop in London, Dempsey of Dempsey and Makepeace. Don't know if he ever drove a mini during that show.

Nah, urban myth. It was just a '67 Mk1 850 automatic. Nice car though!

Heard on Ryan Tubridy this morning, someone called Grace extolling the virtues of her '96 BRG Mini Cooper and not having anything positive to say about girlies being given BINIs after their Leaving Cert. Yes I'm sure there are people who drive BINIS who aren't blonde (e.g. Glenda Gilsen) but you don't see many of them around these parts. Grace, if you use this forum, congrats.

51st State on RTE a few nights back with Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Carlyle. They use a cut and shut red and yellow "Cooper". Great film.

On Discovery Turbo's new Mark Evans series "A race car is born",he had his newly built Westerfield at a track day and there was a white clubman hooning about as well.I don,t think white is the best colour on clubmans though. :lol:

Oh did I not finish that sentence,I meant to say that white was not the best colour on clubmans unless there was a contrasting colour say for arguments sake,Black on the roof,a set of minilites and some Cibie Oscars up from.Then it could be quite possibily the nicest clubman around.Now get the sellotape out Maxi. :D
