The Mini Cooper will be featured in Austin Powers Goldmember. I've seen the preview in the theaters. Paraphrasing, "It's mini! It's not how big it is, it's how you use it!" My thoughts exactly. Anyway, has anyone dug up pictures of that car? It's shown so briefly in the movie that I didn't even catch if it was an S or not. It's got a Union Jack paint job just like the Shaguar from the other movies.

I saw it on TV, and it's a standard cooper, with the union-jack painted all over it. It looks really cool! I hope it's featured quite a bit!

The clip I saw had someone saying to Michael Caine in a shocked tone:
"Your spy car is a MINI???"

Just loved it.

I saw Matt Damon going through the crowded streets of Paris in an old MINI in Borne Identity, but only in previews. How much MINI madness was there in the movie?

The actual CHASE was only 4 minutes, but it was crazy! Well worth going to see

Loved the Bourne Identity. The chase scene is fun and the Mini steering wheel is featured.

I don't get out much . . .

So, I like movie reviews. ;)

Ending of "Hitch" (Will Smith/Eva Mendez) has Eva driving off in a MINI with Will Smith in chase...She can't drive a stick well...I cringed when she grinded the gears ("grinded"...is that a word?)

Nice revival of a dead thread. I just had to post, given my vanity plate (look closely at the sig pic, under the text, below:

It just looked like it needed freshening up . . .
