...that my mini could double as a mini submarine. Just saw "Goldmember" where Mini stole the show.

Nice product placement in that one. Michael Caine even used one of Mini's slogans I believe when he called it with his watch...something to the effect of "It's not the size that matters, it's how you use it."

Caine's past with Mini Cooper is interesting, too. I'm sure a lot of people know about Caine in "The Italian Job" from the 60's where the Cooper is featured.

First time poster! Woohoo!

Cheers,
Ross

Just saw it today- FUNNY! The first 10 minutes was the best though. I wish they had given the MINI more screen time. Did you notice it was a standard Cooper with the front bumper of an S? Strange. I guess the hood scoupe would have slowed down the submarine feature- taking in too much water. Do you think the underwater option will be ready for 2003?
