That's hilarious. A fully loaded Mini, with skis and everything. I wonder how much of it actually functions.

Interestingly enough, i saw a Mini Cooper S the otherday, painted exactly the same as the one owned by Nigel Powers. Im not sure if it was owned by a fan, or is part of a publicity campaign or something. I live in Newcastle, has anyone in London (or anywhere else) see one around?

I also saw a Mini Cooper S the other day, except it was British Racing Green with some sort of company logo or decal on the side. And that decked-out Mini is really funny.:) Where was this taken?

It's not the size of the spy car, it's how you use it.

Sorry Double O Zero- I'm afraid to say that I know its not the size: its how you use it, as that's my car up there. It doesn't really have all those bits on it- I made them in 3D Studio Max and Photoshopped them on to it. Still, I quite like it- I might do it for real....
