I've still got have a mind to find the remains of the Muira, the DB6 but not the Mini's dumped over the edge in The Italian Job.

Still winds my up when the posh Mini drivers are under the rear axles of the Mini's and someone says he's working on the differential, arrrgghh!

You will be happy to hear that the Miura that went over the cliff at the start of The Italian Job was a recreation and not the real deal!

I really hate the way the Italian guy calls the Aston (think it was a Volante actually?, DB5?) a "Pretty car"....

In the film, England won 2-0 against Italy in Turin, how unrealistic is that?

I'm pretty sure at the end of the 90's we beat Italy 2-0 in Italy.
I think Paul Scholes ran the show, scored one and set up the other.
That was Scotland! 2-0 England at Hampden, was a play off for Euro 2000 I think, Scotland won 1-0 at Wembley but England went though. I was living in Scotland then, and despite England actually going through, the incessant stick I got for that 1-0 defeat was murder......

Having Googled it.

Italy 0-2 England. However, it was in Le Tournoi, the tournament Roberto Carlos scored 'that' goal.
It was held in Paris, which is why I remembered that we wasn't at home and thought we were in Italy.

Scholes did indeed get one and set up Ian Wright for the other.

I could even tell you what pub I was in! (Quilters in Billericay). I was going out with Trevor Brookings business partners daughter at the time.

I saw Bolton Wanderers win 2-1 at QPR in a pub in Morecambe. Funny how one can always remember what pub one was in!

Best was watching (2nd Div) Bolton, beat Premier League Spurs 6-1 in the League Cup on Ceefax, in the Queensbury Arms, Annan....

They were all just shells apparently, the mini coopers would be worth a sh1t load of money now as well

What did they do with the coach? I'm sure after filming they'd just push it off the edge.

My Italian Job 2 would be let the gold fall out, let the coach fall over, return ASAP with more cars and collect the gold from the ravine.....

I thought there was a big discussion somewhere about how you would solve the situation of getting to the gold whilst the bus was teetering over the edge

I’m feeling sorry for Lifes2short

Were they called “wobbly tots”?

Or maybe “kids you can lick”?
