Probably not too many avid viewers of 'Hollyoaks' here on the Mk1 forum........but destroying the Mini Sprite involved did make the pages of Classic Car Weekly.
Half a ton of Mini derailing around 60 tons of locomotive.......?!

They look like genuine ball joints to me. See photo 4.
I've got a 69 Mini with a 1046, Cooper Head and a four on the floor.

I assume it was artistically necessary to convey the message the director was trying to convey in this pivotal scene. And who are we to question the vision of a true artist?mk1 wrote:What I can't understand is how did the woman pictured in the images above loose her clothes in the course of events?
