A four door mini....yikes!

Those minis are pretty popular down here in redneck country. They can
drive right under those jacked up pickup trucks, you see all over the
place. I also hear that there is a high performance version that is a
real screamer.

Have you ever seen the 2003 version of The Italian Job? Good movie and
some really souped up Coopers in it:

The Mini-Cooper S is the souped up model sold by BMW. 0-60 in around 7
seconds, top speed of 140 mph.

The earlier version of the Italian Job with Terry Thomas is much better and
they had real Mini Cooper S car.
