Actually saw this episode in the states, couldnt believe the reaction too minis in general out there. When I got chatting too people and I showed them some pictures of mine, most of them had never seen anything like it.... All of a sudden the mini was individual again...!

And I'm sorry, the narrator guy.... "has quadrupled the power from his engine..." so he was running a 1275 with 30 brake....?

[TA2DMAC]

Yeah I found that quadrupelld comment rather embelishing. or as you guys call it "A Porkie"

I like that phrase, gonna start using it here. Wonder if they figure it out.

love how they got the fat guy in the back!! haha. loved that. i would of happily made the girl walk.

[Ethel]

To be fair the Mini should've lost points because the big fella actually could get in the back.

A nice example of a Mini! But shame about how they sort of.. belittled it..

[mini_in_progress]

Hey not all of us like those stupid monster tires. What that guy did to that Impaia is an insult to a Classic. The Mini lost because it broke down and they squeesed a 400lb slug into the back. I don't think the weight capacity could handle the 800lbs of stupidiy that was in that car. It's a really nice Mini though. One of the few episodes I've watched. Plus this show has a specific market it appeals too, you can tell by the cars. Anything with the Hip HopThug look seems to always win which is why I stopped watching it.

haha my thoughts exactly... the wieght capacity was more than the poor mini wieghed... i would of said sorry but ill take em out one at a time to save the poor mini.... might of made that bird walk back tho lol

[Pitcrew6464]

that guys got some moves! cool little mini, shows the nasty taste of the others when the rollerskate wins lol!!!!!

[Spitfire12]

Did he say it was a 1968 Mini?

[giner88]

love it, but to be fair with all the massive cars in the US im not sure i'd want to drive i mini. it can be scary enough on UK roads being bullied imagine being tailgated by some of those US truck things lol

[lapider]

I love the OTT American's! Hence I hate watching US TV.

I don;t get Americans, and I don;t think they get us either. WHAT were them wheels on that yanktank?

Oh and just for the record, wider wheels on the back of a FWD car make it understeer and handle a lot worse than if there were wider wheels on the front than the rear

It's too bad he didn't have a roof rack. Would've been plenty of room to strap the girl to it. It's a shame, too - she was actually attractive before she opened her mouth.

And yeah, sometimes it gets a little bit daunting on the highways here in the states. Especially when you consider the poor conditions of the roads (especially in NYC).

Cheers,
Rich

[minimissionary]

are there any videos of the rest of this episode? I want to see whats said about that ridiculous titmobile with tractor wheels. I enjoy shouting at the screen.

[TA2DMAC]

You have to remember, that show is very "Chav Oriented" as you call it, as that's the crowd it appeals too. Which explains the lack of taste and the stupid looking rims.
