attached a winch to the wings of a the mini and tried to winch a rolls royce .. it ripped the front end off ... chil out guys

Lol! Reminds me of when I ripped the front end off of a triumph stag with a Subaru, lol!

[jamesmpi]

Yeah, me!

I do like rolls as well. Especially bacon ones

He truly loved that mini. Yes it was setup but topgear episodes always are, but that's whats makes them funny....like the signs on the train.

Wasn't nice seeing the front end ripped off thought. I wonder if there are jag and rolls enthusiasts complaining about how they ruined their cars too? Lol

Was a terrible sight. Obviously scripted. Enjoyed it until the last ten minutes.

Bye Bye mpi, sad to see them wreck a nice looking mini when there is so many sheds out there.i must say though ,i love top gear.Always makes me laugh.

Someone in the other thread says the mini was a write off beforehand, and it's just giving the mini good publicity anyway.

Maybe our cars are worth a little bit more now ;)

The car wasn't scrapped. When we were looking for our Mini we visitied http://www.gcminis.co.uk/ in Swanley at the end of October... we chatted to the owner for ages and he was telling us how the researchers/car hunters bought a red Mini from him that was going to be used in the Xmas Special in India. He had the Mini in his Showroom for quite a while, so that would be why it wasn't 'on the road'.

It's being aired on Wednesday 28th december: - http://transmission....ember-8pm-bbc2/

Looking forward to seeing it.

Not sure if it was a write off, in this thread someone has said that they brought it from GC mini's.
They did have 7 grand to spend!.

Mines priceless to me,

[TopGearRules]

Cried a little, but still its good publicity for the Mini and there was nothing said against it. Taking the Mini out of the equation, this episode wasn't as good as the last Christmas special... what do you think?

[huntface]

It was awful. The big jokes about the signs on the train you could see coming a mile away.

The only genuine laugh I had was Clarkson demonstrating the trouser press.

It may not be dead, its taxed until 1/12/2012 and insured, and I think filming finished September time so they must have brought it back.

Come on haters....attaching a winch to body work isnt going to end well any day of the week...

BUT... It didn't break down. It did us proud if I'm honest :)
