Car Forum / MINI / August 2005The Italian Job Tour 2005.
Well chaps, Fitzy and a few of his mates from up oup norff are off to Italy this week, visiting all of the film locations there. Just think, driving in the Alps on the Grand St Bernard Pass listening to Matt Munro singing "On Days Like These"..........I can't think of anything better you can do in a Mini with your trousers on.... Steve. P.S. taking booking for next year already. Hi, While you are out there, why not try the Stevio Pass. It's awsome. Rises to 11000 feet with scores of tight hairpins, tourist shops at the top and then descends on the other side to Italy and Switzerland.

If anyone wants pics, just e-mail me. keith The only problem is that the version of "On days like these" sung in the films is not available in the shops, and you have to settle for not a bad version sung later. No doubt you'll cope. The benefit of the film version (if copied for personal use) is that you get the ferrari (or fast car) gear changes aswell! > The only problem is that the version of "On days like these" sung in the > films is not available in the shops, and you have to settle for not a bad > version sung later.

Who sung that later was it Matt Munro or did he sing that for the film? >> The only problem is that the version of "On days like these" sung in the >> films is not available in the shops, and you have to settle for not a bad [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >Who sung that later was it Matt Munro or did he sing that for the film? It is Matt Munro in the film and the car is a Lamborghini Miura - the iconic supercar of the '70s - not a Ferrari. Regards, David Betts davidb@minilist.org The Mini Gallery: http://www.ofoto.com/I.jsp?m=64635537103&n=1366070334 Hey there, yes Matt Munro did sing it later - it's not bad at all, in fact I used to quite like it, but it's more studioish a few years later. The original has more style. You might be able to find it, they're always bringing out new recordings. He still sells a very high number of CD's!!! So the Italian job sound track has the wrong version on it?

Ah, sounds as though someone has actually been able to find the orignal - apologies if this is so. I was only comparing it to a Matt Munro compilation that I have. Sorry for the confusion! Anyway thanks for the knowledge of the car, and have a good trip! We are back,, and it was great, if anyone is interested for next year, contact Steve Edmonds, Steve Edmonds E-mail Address(es): steven.edmonds@ntlworld.com This guy organised the whole trip, and takes you to the actual film locations, Fitzy > Ah, sounds as though someone has actually been able to find the orignal - > apologies if this is so.
