Not sure if it was posted in that link by Teapot, but there was 2 roundnose mini's in the Beatles film , A Hard Day's Night.

top gear they fire one off a ski slope with jet engines i think quite cool but shame they killed it its on a plinth in the studio now!

Im not sure if it was Top Gear or another early Jeremy Clarkson program but he compares it to the Cinquecento (sp?) when the Cinq first came out....I think Mr C looked too young to be in TG at the time....not sure though.

He concluded by saying although the Cinq was good and nimble through towns, it just wasnt the same.
