That is great, got to love the English, "what a prat!" and at the end where they say, "The movie starred Michael Caine in a plot to steal gold by causing a traffic jam in Turin." The article is in an English paper, I think they would know that already. Then they put a pic from the new movie! Good find, cheers.

That proves what works in the movie will NOT work in real life.

I saw the "Bourne Supremacy" game the other day and they have a Bini in that :evil: they could have simply had a classic mini like in the movie and then they wouldn't have to pay BMW :x .
Why can't people get these things right :roll: .

No they couldn't, BMW wouldn't let them use the original, it had to be MINI or not at all.

They dont own the rights to the original mini though do they ??
they could have just called it an Austin 7, or something similar and avoided the word mini, there buy avoiding copyright (or whatever there called) laws

nah, they own the rights to the shape as well - assholes

that kid must've had a bini, it says his parents gave it to him new the day before, and that both airbags went off - no great loss
