Top Gear's Mini Irish adventure


Top Gear's Mini Irish adventure

pa.press.net

Jeremy Clarkson and his Top Gear co-hosts Richard Hammond and James May want to do The Italian Job - in Northern Ireland.
The daring trio plan to recreate the famous Mini car chase scenes through the sewers of Belfast after being approached by Northern Ireland Water, who are refurbishing the city's six-mile underground network.
"We hope to film the race through the city's sewer network in the coming weeks," a spokesperson for the BBC2 show said to the Daily Star.
An NI Water spokesperson added: "We put forward some proposals to the BBC last year and the idea to film a Top Gear episode at the Belfast Sewers Project was developed from there."
In the 1969 movie, Michael Caine and his gang make their getaway in Mini Coopers through the Italian streets after a bank robbery.

I can imagine someone losing a sunroof or a window jamming open whilst driving through sewers.

I hope James gets in front of Jezza in the sewers as Jezza would be going crazy to get past him and that will be fun
