Cheap Remote Control MINIs in Brisbane

Just thought I would let everyone know that there is a stall in the showbag pavillion at the Ekka this year that is selling remote controlled MINIs for $25. I bought one and yes it is one of the cheaper looking models but really run. It is rechargeable so doesnt chew through batteries and comes in electric blue, silver or red.

We can have remote control races at the Show and Shine next Sunday!!

Hadn't we better check we are not contavening any of Mini Australia's internal politics by daring to race them without seeking permission?

Maybe we can simulate that episode of 5th Gear where Vicki races the remote control car in a MINI GP. I'll meet you in the underground carpark after the Show & Shine and I'll take on your RC car in my Cooper S
