Apparently it was impossible to access the church from the rear so the Minis were launched from either side as required.
Well spotted, Signor Maxi

Re: Seen a Mini?
I was in Killarney last week and spotted a nice burgandy Mayfair -KY- reg outside the Ross Hotel. It has been converted into a convertable.
A little observation.
On the way home to Maynooth, to pass the time, I tried a little experiment and began flashing any Binis I passed. It started off well with a return flash from the Blonde lady in the the First Bini I passed. That was the end of it. Not one of the following five Binis I flashed , returned the gester (I also noticed that four of them were driven by women, three of whom were blondes). The young lad in the classic Beatle waved back, and the driver of a white van flashed me.
Pulling into the Kildare DESIGNER outlet village, I spotted about another seven Binis parked around the place, and I wasn't even looking for them nor had I passed even a fifth of the cars in the carpark.

Not ONE flashed me back

Re: Seen a Mini?
I think that the Bini have become too common like you wouldn't flash some one who has an Astra
If it isn’t broke then it’s not a Mini

And I said, Officer, I didn't want to be drunk in public...I wanna be drunk in the bar. Now last time I checked it was still legal to be drunk in the bar. They threw me into public...arrest them!

Spotted a very nice looking orange 81 (possibly LH) reg mini with black arches on the M50 yesterday evening. Passed me by as I was queuing to get off at N4 - didn't see it in time to wave!
