Missed it, but I do have the original Italian Job on VHS somewhere, and am always nervous when they remake a classic. Cult-Classic "Gone In Sixty Seconds" was turned into just another big-budget Hollywood groaner when they let Nicholas Cage get ahold of it a few years ago... :(

I actually did check out the Mini, but at the time I needed a car quickly, and BMW wanted me to go on a list for some six months to get one, needless to say there have been times where the added space in my Si had proven to be the better choice.

Yeah I saw it, it was cool, but the new mini's don't do it for me. I see three or four a day here, I rarely see the ole' SI (I've seen 4 in the last year) and I like it that way.


I like the classic mini's though :D
