British International Auto Show

Anyone out there watching the Speed Channel? They just showed highlights of the British Intl auto show. Featuring a MINI stunt show. The bit started out with a MINI on two wheels, then a tire smoke, some high speed parallel parking and finally a jump from a ramp - all with stock MCS and I saw a couple MCS convertibles. I went by pretty quick.

Yes, good clip. If you're able to catch the British TV Show "Fifth Gear" from a couple of weeks back, they did a longer segment on that stunt show. I have the episode on my computer but am not sure how to cut out that section out of an avi file.

That's probably the same show that was covered in a local newspaper here about a month back or so. Couple different stunt shows. One pic show a driver jumping a MINI convertible over another convertible from one ramp to another. Love how the MINIs get all sorts of attention, cool ads and commercials and such. Pretty good media coverage and creativeness in marketing.
Cheerio,
