MINI @ Top Gear UK

There's a segment on the old and new MINI rally cars on the brand new season opener that aired last night. Don't miss it! It's quite good!

I almost posted that same thing when I watched it last night.

Also if you like old E-Type Jags Clarkson has a massive tribute to them.. And that tribute includes a couple flyovers of a Supermarine Spitfire, and Hawker Hurricane. Those planes sound sooooooo amazing...

They also hate the coupe, countryman, and clubman. Not really surprising, though.

I'm OK with them hating it. They hated my old car (Subaru Impreza), Jezza says it looked like "squashed buttocks"

Love them just the same!

Also, they didn't say they hated the coupe. They actually seemed to give it props for it's "bad boy image". The car "would steal its own rims and put itself on blocks". More like props than turning it down.

And I think Jezza loved the JCW hardtop when he drove it at one point.
