Saw it on Sunday. Yes it is Russ Swift and his son Paul.

Very impressive display barring all the crap dialogue and nonsense of having the young and beautiful jigging about to disco music and expecting me to perform the Mexican wave on demand.

Only went as I was with a friend who has a Cooper S on order and was getting to the point of wanting to punch one of the Mini team for generally unnatural level of happiness and willingness to jig about...

Russ's part was fantastic ....

Was good to see the new minis being chucked around by Russ and co, as Johno said was a shame about all the crap getting in the way of some good stunts, but Johno you seemed to like the Mexican wave, maybe the third time was to much

Glad I missed that! - they had certainly dropped it by Monday morning (when I was there) - great show - and great driving.

Yup I've seen the MINI stunts. They are superb but it does give you ideas.....

I saw it when they were in Glasgow last year for the Scottish Motorshow. Thankfully there was none of this mexican wave and ultrahappiness going round. Probably cos they were in "sunny" Glasgow. Thats enough to dampen anyones spirits

I agree andy!

I've just started uni in glasgow and i cant believe how crap the weather is.

I also saw the minis at the scottish motor show last year, it was fantastic - how often do they hold the show? cos it aint on this year.
