Re: Seen a Mini?
Was up in Rally School Ireland on Saturday and spotted this in the garage.
Had a great day up there, well worth a visit.

Re: Seen a Mini?
A Mini overtook me on the N11 today...... sticking to the speed limits 
Can't remember the colour or year or anything except it was a Mini! I so stunted how fast s/he overtook me I couldn't pay attention! It looked bogo in the rear view but was clearly a sleeper!

Re: Seen a Mini?
Saw a girl driving a 94 D Mini this morning just near Mount Brown, made me wish I used mine as a daily driver.
Also a friend sent me this link - The 1960s Mini Coopers as used in The Italian Job have temporarily traded places with the Lord Mayor’s state coach in the Museum of London's City gallery. http://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/Englis ... bMinis.htm

@gareth, don't think its a mini thats used. I'd say a studio prop.
Re: Seen a Mini?
Yip, it's a white clubby that lives in a photo studio in town. Ive got loads more shots of it from the meteor shoot. It's been in a couple of different ads, not just meteor.
remember me, benny blanco from the bronx
