Anyone think that there'll be a special edition of the MINI coming out related to the movie? Either from the factory or from dealers? Doubt from the factory, but thinking maybe some dealers will try to market some MINIs off their lot by jazzing them up 'a-la' Italian Job style, eg. logo/decals and such.
There wil most likely be more knowledge of what the new MINI looks like and are, after the movie. Maybe that dreaded question of "What kind of car is that?" will disappear after the release of the movie. We can only hope.
Wondering if MINI dealers are planning on cashing in on the release, in having more people flock to their showroom. It'll most likely happen.
Cheers,

Antenna balls? Pffft Oh man. Like the Jack in the Box ones? What do they look like and have on them? No, I wouldn't be putting one of those of my MCS. If it's MINI related, I'd keep it with my collection of MINI memoribillia.
Yeah, I kinda thought with where the demand of the MINIs are at, they might not do anything. But with a movie pretty much advertising the car itself, I think some dealers may step up and try to promote MINI sales by using this movie as a markerting tool. Been hearing of events and such that certain dealers and theaters are putting together. So it looks as though some dealers are into it.
With my dealer, I only had a 3 month wait. And that was the time it pretty much took just to build and send it. No waiting in line behind someone else.
Cheers,

After attending the only stunt demo in the East last Tuesday morning, other than the Jay Leno Today Show where Jay totalled the clutch on one of the cars, I can attest to the fact that the cars in the movie were stock MCSes, except for tires. We met the guy who drove the blue one(s) in the movie.
They destroyed 33 cars to make the film...Sean wrecked 3 in one day. Charlise Theron, according to Sean The Stunt Driver, was responsible for 14. He also said she was the best driver.....well, maybe the most fearless
They had a cling sticker promoting the film on the hood, and that was it.
Sorry guys, no fancy "Italian Job" vesion of the car.
