Used to be done to the roofs (and occasionally all) of minis back in the

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...
Unless we're talking about a different Union Jacked MX5 (there may be a
few around now), it belongs to a car hire company. They have/had a US
flag one, and may even have more than one Union Jack one now. They have
had it for a while, but I doubt they had it before the Austin Powers
movie ('97). At least a couple of people I know in the NZ club have
hired it for parties/parades.

That guy is Gary Brown http://www.tornadomusic.co.nz/, who runs a pretty
successful DJ/Karaoke group called Party Time http://partytime.co.nz/.
He also does elvis and other stuff, but I think the money still rolls in
as Austin Powers... He can also say 'groovy baby'.

I don't think he has ever been a real estate agent - well the last ~17
years anyway that we know of (friend of friend) he has run partytime.
