“The Italian Job” (movie) courtesy of NEMO

Went to the NEMO organized preview showing of the new Italian Job tonight, in Braintree - surprisingly not so far away as I expected (only 45 minutes driving back, with a little “Italian Job” style)!
What a lot of MINIs and Minis … and a great film too; some nice tributes to the original movie - especially the “MINIs driving down steps” and “MINIs driving through the pipe” sequences.
Good to see everyone from previous meets … Jay, Jason, Chris, Gavin … and so many other people.
Jays MINI drew lots of interest - not only the movie playing on the Nav screen but also the amazing noise of the Borla Sport exhaust, and the burned clutch/tire/fuel (?) smell!

Hrach (NEMO President and MINI Peabody salesperson) and an old and new blue Mini/MINI - have I seen that one before

An older Mini - see the center speedo!

Lots of cars:

Everyone ready to go watch the movie:
