5th Gear

Did anyone see 5th Gear on Channel 5 Last night, I think I saw a Cooper with MINI2 on the back when Tiff was talking to the female driver, can anyone confirm this?

Fat bloke with Tranformers T-shirt, rather liked it !
Decent enough review, although the backing music was called 'One's enough' which was a tad ironic !

I thought the review did not do the cooper S justice. It was short and rushed.

I think that the 'tubby greaser' would have been better off road testing some Slim Fast or Head and Shoulders.....
