Top Gear Re-enact Italian Job MINI Chase
Those crazy cats at Top Gear are planning to shoot a re-enactment of the Italian Job (the original, not the hammy US remake) but not in Italy; the three mid-lifes plan to drive MINI’s through sewers in Belfast.
They will drive the MINI Coopers through the City’s new 6 mile sewage works and like the original film, this will be the second time this scene will have been shot in the UK., as although the opening and ending sequence of the car chase was shot in Turin, the actual scene where the Mini’s speed through the sewer tunnel was shot in Coventry.
Top Gear is famed for its mad driving challenges but this one wasn’t actually thought up by them. And no, it wasn’t thought up by the MINI marketing department either.
The idea was actually put to Top Gear producers by NI Water who actually wanted the BBC programme to film an episode there and the idea progressed from there.
Should be a cracking episode!
