I haven't seen the old "Italian Job", but the new one is wonderful,
Charlize Theron (in addition to being hot) drives an old MINI very well
and then they all get new ones. Lots of fast tricky driving, it's
wonderful. If it had more space in the back I'd consider getting one as
a daily driver. But it's really too small.
