Is bob tryin to draw out attention to that publicity shot where they messed up the colours?

I think with the 66 bods on a Min it also had to move to get the record, which is quite impressive surely?

That was in a Mini, the Noel Edmunds thing was a Mini cram and people were in and on so I dont know if it's a different record.

The Minis used for the famous driving across dam scene in the Italian job had their tyres filled with Asti Spumante to reduce the buoyancy & improve traction.

Last little known fact for to-night is
When the Mini first went racing its tiny wheels made the tyres hotter than any formula one car, - well above boiling point.
