I saw it last week, it is quite well done but the car is a little short for
the full Austin Powers Jag effect. The flag is out of proportion a bit.

I suspect you will find that car was done long before austin powers im
pretty sure its been on tv a few times.

Used to be done to the roofs (and occasionally all) of minis back in the
'Swinging Sixties'. Only the crass tasteless producers of Austin Powers
would do it to an E-type. Does the MX5 in question belong to that guy - I
think he's a real estate agent - who does Austin Powers impressions? I say
impressions, but he only seems to say the word 'shagadelic' a lot and that's
the limit of his thespian abilities...

Hope that doesn't tar us all real estate agents with the same brush!!
Awesome point of difference though, as my car is for me. I even have
note pads that depict my car... I'll send you one if you want, let me
know anyone!?

you can hire the Union Jack car for about $99 a day, the westie is probably
using it as a runaround while his BRG is being repainted...

Not at all, some of my best friends are estate agents. Well, actually that's
not true, but having just moved into our seventh house in 11 years, I've
seen an awful lot of them... Most of the agents up here seem to have BMW's
or 4WD things - can't imagine you taking client families out to view houses
in an MX5 but, as you say, it's certainly a point of difference...

Love the notepad idea!

Hey Chrissy, if you're handing some out, I'd LOVE one of your notepads. I
ll send you a private email with my snailmail details shortly.
