For those of you who didn't, after writing off a caravan and BMW, they set out to find the "Ultimate mini", and they weren't counting the New one.

The one car I particularly liked wis a 450 BHP mini that gets to 100K's in 3.4 sec or somethin like that.

There was also plenty of jumping minis, half minis and non-midified of course.

The "Ultimate mini" went to one of the original monte carlo cars sitting in some rich guy's garage. Estimated value, 60,000 pounds.

Was the Rich Guy in Northern Ireland. If so, I urge you to get hold of and read John Heselwood's article in one of the MOCQ club magazines. **** amazing!

I have that episode, and lots others, and you can too :)

I actually like top gear better, but that was one awesome episode.

do a search for mini on that site and you should find the fifth gear episode. lots of other mini bits and pieces too, mainly BINI related tho.

We recently upgraded to digital foxtel. Can I say it is a frickin' rip. If we'd a got a weeks trial, we wouldn've got it. Having the channels delay is good, but we havent got a widescreen tv or surround sound in that room. Digital benefits are only on movie channels, and the movies are $6 each or somethin, on top of your $60 a month for a basic package.
