I've got the recording here Jim, I'll edit it down and YouTube it :)


Cool, please publish the link. I don't own any form of recording device anymore and I didn't see it.

Remembered about the story when the show started... As the story started, I heard my neighbour come running across the road and up my driveway - yelled out to watch it [which is what i was doing anyway :D ]
Gotta love neighbours who share a love of fine cars :D :D Great story and LOVED the Mini's :D

Thanks heaps SGC and dmillar, I know what you mean, it is worse when you want to see the start of something and get non stop phone calls to tell you it is on. At least they are thinking of you I guess.

Collectors is a great show. I love collecting old stuff, my wife, cheapy antiques, my Mini ...... :shock:
I guess I am a bit of a collector myself, but constrained by space.

You can also see the clip on the ABC's 'Collectors' website at

http://www.abc.net.au/tv/collectors/seg ... 837582.htm

Enjoy

Loved the "English" clubman estate... My Mum had a couple when I was a kid, complete with fake wood on the sides... Remember dropping my chips into the rear pocket once... Memories... :lol:

In England it was considered that this was the only clubman that looked right... Square estate back end matched square clubby front... :wink:
