benp said: y not, seems like a good idea, glad to see minis tho cos i heard a while back that they were gonna use the new beetle, were probably gonna use the vase to stash weapons or something
I though beetles were your favourite car mate?
i want a pink one with a yellow flower in the vase and an electric engine so i dont pollute the environment!!!
According to the Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com) there is now a character called 'Handsome Rob', perhaps this is the politically correct update to 'Camp Freddie'?
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Read on the weekend (think it could have been Clarkson but not sure) that in the book (didn't even know there was one), Michael Caine gets back with the gold only to have Mr. Bridger tell him hes done a deal with the Mafia and its got to go back to Italy. Shame they didn't use that, sounds like an amusing twist.
I heard that the "Great idea" at the end of the original (Real?) film was to just sit and leave the engine running and wait for the fuel to burn out of the tank which was located at the back of the bus, therefore altering the centre of gravity of the bus enabling the gang to retrieve the gold.
Anybody know different?
Everyday's a school day!

devoke said: so how many of u have actually seen the original. i bet that im the only person of the under 21 generation to have ever seen it. that movie is old school
It was re-released at the cinema in 1999 so I bet a fair few younger folks have seen it. Anyway, it's on VHS, DVD and BBC every Christmas so there's no excuse!
