had a mini. Did you see him on the Jon Wross show on Friday? He said while he was out of work Sly approached him and asked him to be in a movie as he 'needed and actor wholooked like he could kick his ass' at this point Mickey didnt even have the money to fill his car with gas, that car was a classic mini!!
I have had a look and cant find a picture of him and his ride (not surprisingly) but it leads to my question.... which other celebs have had a mini?
Mickey Rourke, And Other Celebs!

They were popular with celebs of yesteryear. Steve Mcqueen and each member of the Beatles had one.
Edit: Mcqueen's Mini is lush.

Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan, Tommy Steel, James Garner, James Martin, George Best, this list could go on and on, it might be easier to list the Celebs that didn't have a Mini (especially in the 60's)
