Car Forum / MINI / August 2006"Vive Le Sport"
Right well I might be lucky enough to be getting a complete copy of this mad 1969 small film ("Vive Le Sport") that I was waffling on about recently. Well I got nowhere with the MCR (no surprise), but I also asked on a specialist Mini Forum and even though I got into a flame war last night with a few undesirable people there (those in charge of MiniWorld Magazine believe it or not!), because their very cliquey and are downright rude and sarcastic to anyone else outside of their pathetic little circle (their generally nasty to most people who post there, but they met their match with me because I've heard lots of stories about them), it seems one member there has a copy and has given his address for me to send a blank VHS Video Tape so he can run a copy off for me. So I will be popping a blank Video Tape in the post tomorrow and i'll be keep my fingers crossed that a decent complete copy does arrive and not filth or something nasty after the recent flame war! Well if I get a film on BINI's I'll hunt that bloke down and gut him like a fish! LOL Anyway I'll let you all know if the movie does arrive all present and correct and then we can sort out a copy being circulated or whatever?

I thought you had me kill filed? Very typical of you. I'm not typical of anything and you only live down to our expectations of evil. Right i'll just reset my kill-file account again then.

Anyway my family & me watched what I do actually have (about 3/4 and i'm missing aroundt 10 minutes at the start!) of that movie and well, I like it even though they wanted to know what the hell it's all about! But yes it's a great period piece, but don't expect too much as it's only a small film of around 30 minutes (I think?) duration, or would/will be when I get the complete copy. But I like it and it features a MKII Mini Cooper S showing a clean pair of heels to a few other cars along the way, so yes I think it's worth a watch if only for that! But yes I don't set out to cause trouble, but the unpleasant lot on that so called Mini Forum, are led by the Queen of MiniWorld Magazine herself, Kay "Dreary" Drury the Clubs Editor and considering their supposed to be real Mini Enthusiasts, they really do have a nasty/sarcastic attitude to their fellow Mini owners & MiniWorld Magazine subscribers/buyers. So after what I've heard and experienced, I think I'll only be buying Mini Magazine from now on as Helen Webster (Editor) is quite lovely and she even went out of her way to see that a couple of Mini Magazine stickers got sent direct to me too. Where as all I (and many others) ever had off Kay of MiniWorld fame is abuse! Mind you I'm still amazed that friend of theirs has agreed to run a copy of "Vive Le Sport" for me anyway! If it does arrive in good order, I think I should send a little thankyou gift of some kind? Taffy put me down as 2nd in line for a copy after Fitzy, Cheers Martin >> Right well I might be lucky enough to be getting a complete copy of >> this mad 1969 small film ("Vive Le Sport") that I was waffling on about [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > appreciate your effort, put me down for a copy please, > Fitzy Good news folks, the tape arrived this morning and yes after almost 20 years I have a beginning at last! Even better still, the end titles are a different version to the ones on my incomplete copy and they have Dunlop SP Sport advertising popping up every so often. So I have 2 versions of the ending to that film now. The down side is it's only 27 minutes long (yep it's a small film) and I only missed around 5-10 minutes at the start anyway, oh and it's obviously a copy of a copy as it's a bit jittery at the start, but it's still better than the incomplete copy of a copy that I have all the same. Right well it cost me over 3 quid to send a blank tape with a pre-paid sae jiffy bag to get this film, so if anyone wants me to do a copy for them, then I guess it's only fair that you send me a video tape with a pre-paid sae jiffy bag too? Oh and i'll tag my old incomplete copy on at the end too so you'll also have 2 different versions of the ending as well if you like? Okay so i'm naturally not going to provide my home address here, but i'll pass it on to those who can provide evidence that their not Trolls or other undesirables?

[quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > Taffy Oh come on taffie.....give us your home address. We want to come over and watch you masturbate to these old shitty movies. You are so funny looking when you are all greased up and naked. Oh and you can see a then & now image of the girl who drives the Mini Cooper S here:- http://www.dunlop.de/de/daten/motorsport/pdf/2002/engeman_liane.pdf As it happens she was a real racing driver too (she seems too cute and petite in the film & I assumed they used a stunt man!), but unfortunately the images only show her in a boring MKI Ford Escort and the text is in German, but apparantely it comes from a German Dunlop Tyres site. Lovely considering the miserable buggers here in the UK couldn't even bother to send me a reply and I even mentioned Miss Engeman's name too! Anyway the offer still stands folks, so just send me an e-mail and then we can do business and okay it might only be 27 minutes long, but it's still streets ahead of the lousy crap 2003 so called remake/balls up of "The Italian Job".
