A Mini overtook me on the N11 today...... sticking to the speed limits :wink: 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!

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

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.
