The Italian Job

Post by Zack »

Suddenly lately have gotten the urge to watch the Italian Job. So much so in fact that I downloaded the original one. Love it. I really wanna get a red mini and a blue one together and do a goofy Italian job photo shoot thing, lol.

Doesn't matter. I think Artemis would be perfect. In fact I was hoping you were going to respond for that very reason, lol. I think we need to get these three together soon and take some pictures, we can park em in places that would make it look like they were racing through and I can do some nice black and white photography and color photos that make it look awesome.

I'm in North Kansas City so I'm close to the West Bottoms. I would just have to clean my car. He got all nasty last night with the rain and the salt on the road.

Well how bout sometime this week or this coming weekend weather permitting? Stephanie, would you be able to pop the roof rack off for it? Though it might be interesting to leave it on the car since u also have the stickers all over and all.

I'd rather not take it off. It's kinda a pain in the boot. And the stickers definitely won't come off. I made all those myself. :)

Should we set it up like they did in the movie? I want at least one picture where they are parked in a line. Red White Blue Or the French way lol Blue White Red though that makes no sense. We could do it the Italian way but we would have to forgo blue for Green but the idea is that the cars were British which was why the colors were used.

I'm open for whenever (helps not having a job :( ) and I think we need at least one picture of the three cars lined up against a curb. Then come up with whatever other pictures depending on the location. :)

Lined up along the curb is what I was thinking too. Walnuts suggested the West Bottoms area of KC

I think one cool picture would be in front of the Central Library parking garage with the giant books. :) But that's just me :indi:

I'm down for that. That would be fun. Another would be hiding the cars among other mini coopers at Baron like in the original movie.

LOL that would be awesome. Sounds like it would be a whole day out running around the city taking pictures. I might see if my friend would be interested. He takes pictures for fun. :)

Ok I think we are planning this for this weekend. I talked with Paul and I think that is what he wnats to do weather permitting. I'd love to get a few more Mini's involved. Maybe some classic ones or more R56 ones so Artemis doesn't feel out of place.

I would bring my classic if her turn signals weren't broken. :( What time are you thinking this weekend? I've got something going on at 2:30 but I'm free the rest of the day.

What, you can't stick your arm out of the window and use hand signals?

If you don't know how, I'll bet there's a vid on YouTube......

Email Paul (walnuts) and ask him. Also if you wanna bring BumbleBee then we may need to find someone with a blue R53 Cooper S. Anyone interested? How bout UltraQuik? Isn't your Mini blue dude? We could go Italian colors lol and my buddy Tom could bring Yoshi.
