My daily hack back in 2003, I'd just arrived at work... it had the full union jack on the roof when I bought it but one of my workmates removed some of the vinyl one day while I was down at Bletchley shunting stone wagons...!

How many girls in a Mini record attempt, ....different times
Looking at the film clip of this it looked they’d removed the rear bulkhead and rear shelf, bending the rules a bit!

There's 15 trying to get in here
This might be the Brands Hatch Mini Festival in '67 or '68
PS Don't put Girls in a Mini in your search engine, you might get distracted for a while, and definitely don't do it when here in-doors is around otherwise you'll find yourself out-doors with a suit case full of cut up shirts!

Somewhere in swinging London, 1966... Adam Adamant makes his way up to his bachelor pad perched on top of a multi storey car park... makes a change from the batcave...

It's a very brief bit of footage this - shot on 16mm film, but 'AA 1000' looks and sounds great with the exhaust note echoing off the concrete roof and walls. The burning question is, who taught Adam to drive when he woke from his sixty year long slumber in a block of ice...?
