Gran Turismo 2 is supposed to have Minis.

Okay, fine.  Now start arguing about whether Gran Turismo is a
simulator or not.

I love my car, I love my Min',
It saves me lots of gas!
And everywhere I want to go,
It gets there really fast!

Mini! Mini! Mini! Mini!
Mini! Mini! Mini! Mini!
Mini! Mini! Mini! Mini!

beep! beep!

: >> "You're only supposed to blow the ***y doors off!"

as we're on r.a.s, i guess the best quote from the film is when the 3
mini's are racing off through the city with the loot, and the
co-driver of the mini at the back says to the driver, rather politely,

  'oh do make an effort to keep up with the others'

fantastic!

if only there were pit-car radios in the 60's.  i can just imagine
colin chapman saying this to graham hill...

To Graham Hill?  The World Champion for BRM?  The same driver who virtually
"owned" the Monaco GP? The bloke who drove a Lotus 38 to victory at
Indianapolis in 1966?
I can't imagine THAT instruction being issued by Chapman to Hill......more
likely Jordan to Hill!!

If you search the bins you may find a copy of Big Red Racing, an
arcade game with such odd venues as
        low gravity mars racing moonbuggies
        snowplows in Siberia
        boats in Japan (If I remember correctly)

but by far my favorite was racing minis in Italy... even had the
motorcoach*** off the side of the cliff  :-)

It is a simple little game but some of the best fun LAN racing wev'e
had when you get a little bored of the serious stuff.
