MINI Music Video

35MB download. Dialup people be scared, but worth the wait - all 14 hours you have to wait.

Enjoy

I'll be first to cross the line of ultimate cheesiness and say...

Niiice Too bad she wasn't a redhead though.
There's a local automobile hobby shop up here in B.C that has a slot car track and a few new MINI slot cars to run. I wouldn't think they'd be that hard to locate. But if you're struggling to find them I could ask. The owner has a sweet 6wd truck. Just massive. It's sick having it right behind ya driving a MINI.
Cheers,

Yeah - what's up with that? Do Aussie MINIs have the tach in the center?

Yes they do.

The speedo would be one degree out of eye range so the tach goes in the middle.

Aha! That's 'Puretone'.

They must like car chase themed videos. Here's a link to a different chase video from Puretone. No Mini's but awesome.

Gotta watch a 30 second commercial before the vid starts.

They need the speedo to be directly in the drivers line of sight. It's one of those silly laws, but I imagine helps if you can't take your eyes off the road?

Try it again in IE, just make sure your pop-up blocker's disabled. Worked for me - funny video, BTW.

This should work:

http://www.jolyon.tv/default_movies/..._Stuck_480.mov

Don't stream it - download it. Option-click if you're on a Mac, uh - ctrl-click on Windows? and select (what is it?) "Save to disk" or something like that.

I assume that Puretone is an Aussie pop band and this is a music video for one of their songs.

I don't quite get what's going on here. A guy organizes a heist from his prison cell to steal a MINI slot car? And what does any of it have to do with the song?

Liked the MINI, anyway. Attractive lady, too.

I think the slot cars are a play on "Stuck in a Groove" -- the cars run around the track in a little groove, right?

Just my $0.02.

Kind of reminds me of the original "Italian Job" movie.

Looks like I owe you $0.02!
