I've been telling people about this for years, especially when driving down the road the pipes are now buried beneath.

Everyone's been very polite, but I don't think any of them believed me.

Can't be that new. The white Mini being lowered pic has been around for years.

I remember when watching the film that when the cars are shown in the sewers there is only the driver seen in the car but when the shots are external you can see the passenger as well.

I remember reading about this on a display at the Coventry Motor Museum about 10 years ago.

So is the bit at the end of the sewer scene (where the minis pop out and the following Alfa crashes through a hastily dropped metal railing into a stream) in Coventry or Turin?
