Yes when I was young we rode our bikes in the storm water drains with torches straped to our handle bars of our BMX's. but to drive in a £100m Belfast Sewers Project in Mini's (lets hope they have commen sence and not do Bini's) before its open.

I just loved the bends 8)

At least if they DO use Binis then it wont matter if they crash them like it would with classic(real) Minis. :)
By the way Yes I would have a Bini if I got one at the right price but just can't compare to the charm of the original. :lol:

It was cool in 1969 with austin coopers.
Now It's just "try hard" with Binis. Sorry. but after 40 years it's just not new and exciting.

Well , not quite , I found this gem while digging through old magazines looking for something for Rehab1964 (not yet Kevan but still looking) . It comes from the "Sydney Morning Herald Good Weekend" Magazine dated February 13 1993 . They did a special called "going wonderground" and dealt with all forms of people using sewers etc .....

A long term member here is in the passenger seat of the red mini so maybe he could explain where it was at ???
