Saw this last night... not a GREAT movie but it was entertaining! There was a 360 Spider in the movie briefly.... but the MINI's were GREAT!

I've had my Launch edition Mini Cooper for 13 months now and I still grin every time I turn it on! It's so much fun to drive...so tossable!

As for the Italian job, 150 tickets were sent to 150 Mini owners last week in the Vancouver area so we could attend a special premiere of the Italian job. The local new Mini Cooper club www.vancouverminicooperclub.com will have an official drive towards the cinema and it will be a hoot! I can't wait till thursday!

Yea, but didn't you want one after the movie? I mean at least they're part of the movie and not just thrown in there for product placement.

I saw it too. Its a good flick. No surprises or knarly twists, but its fun. When leaving my wife said; "that was a 2 hour Mini commercial!". She is right...

I understand there were a bunch of MINI Coopers used in the new Italian Job. We bought a MINI S back in February... the marketing team at MINI USA is truly amazing. Local MINI owners in Dallas have been invited to preview the movie (no charge) before it officially opens here this Friday so we're heading out to see the movie on Thursday night. Looks like fun!

Other cool things MINI USA marketing has done since we bought the car... owners complained the cup holders were too small so MINI sent all owners a free MINI-mug which fits in the holders. We've also received MINI Mints in the mail, MINI notepads, etc. What a hoot. GM and Ford should take note.

Saw the new version of the Italian Job and its actually pretty good. Certainly worth the 8 bucks.
