Does anyone remember seeing a photograph of Rauno Aaltonen driving an Aussie Mk2 S around markers at an ice rink when he was here on a BMC promotional tour, circa 1970? I think it was in a book, but might have been in a long-lost magazine. I've looked in lots of the obvious books like "Minis Down Under", but can't remember where I saw it. |

Thanks 9YaTaH, I have seen that film clip from the Italian Job - most likely filmed in England as some of the car scenes were. No, what I remember was a single car on ice and it was taken in Australia. |

Hopkirk and Makinen did some skidding demos on water at Zetland and Sandown in 1964. |

If it is of any help I remember when Brian Culcheth was out here for the 1970 Southern Cross rally he did a promotion driving a Cooper racing against an ice skater on a rink. |

Thanks to 9YaTaH, MINImal effort & jimb - It's been great looking at all these old films/videos. jimb might be right - the photo I remember didn't have any skaters but they might still have been there. I still thought it was Aaltonen... and it's never been reprinted, like many other famous photos. |
