haha she was actually reffering to the movie, The Italian Job, where 3 Mini's are used to rob several million dollars in gold bricks. Each one was modified to carry a payload of 2,600 pounds (uh huh right) as well as be fast and nimble enough to outrun cops, helicopters, and drive up stairs.

Hollywood.

Damn fun movie to watch tho!

 

It's a movie!!
A good one too, go see it man!!

 

Yeah, that's funny...the car weighs 2500-2600 pounds and it's suppose to carry the equilvalent weight in gold!

But with one passenger it does haul some ****...

 

hehehs. have u guys seen the old Italian Job?? it's got the ORIGINAL mini

and i didn't even realize in the new version, the mini's supposed to carry that much gold. ahahah. that's just so far, out of stretch. u guys r rite, hollywood sometimes' just too funny for car enthus. ppl like us.

 

Yeah...now that you mention it...I did see that film a few weeks ago on video. Had a couple "fast and furious" scenes in it....and a couple of good underwater ones too.

 

Old news but over 30 coopers were trashed making the movie. I am sure a few were demolished when they coming out of the storm drain.

 

There is some guy in my hometown claiming he has a mini cooper with 300hp. I find it funny that he can get a bigger SC then balance and blue print the engine but cant' manage to get an exhaust for it

I think he deserves a big BS flag

 

BS FLAG!

 

We really need to add this smiley:

 

I had to think long and hard.... but i decided that i am not a fan of the cooper.
