Irish Mini Owners Club

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.

Isn't there a credit union ad on at the minute with a red Cork-reg Mini?

Wasn't there a Mini Cooper in a VHI add ?

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

The bulmers/magniers add that was running all summer had a yellow MKI traveller featured in it.

Watching Kerrang last night and I saw the Foo Fighters old video of Big Me and I had forgooten there was a mini in it.It,s a red aus spec mini which they lift up because someone has parked too close to it.This is the video where they take the mick out of mentos sweets.I love the Foo Fighters videos when they took the mick especially the one for Learn to fly.

You can view or download the credit union ad from http://www.creditunion.ie

Anyone recognise the red Mini?

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.

Anyone who watches Gerrang might spot this one,on the guitar heroes ad there is a skinny mosher standing at the door of a garage playing air guitar and behind him in the garage is a wine coloured mini.

nice mini... as for the singing each to their own

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.

Ooh Maxi, you're soooo Pat Kenny.

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.

Here is another Mini in a music video, check out McFly's That Girl.
