So who is the person that has classic Minis as their expert subject?

I'd love to know where they did their research. The NSW cops had WAY more than 245 Cooper S. Try around 1,100, Tom.

I was really barracking for you though Simon. Wanted to see you do well. Couldn't believe you got that last one in the multiple guess round wrong. Doh!

I've not done it and kudos for you doing it (although I always harboured a desire to do it with Classic Minis as my subject, damn you - but lacked motivation), and I dare say most people find it a lot tougher under the pressure of the moment rather than the relaxed atmosphere at home, where Tom Gleeson's jibes are not directly aimed at you. I was pretty impressed with that other guy's knowledge of Ghost Busters, and the Korean dude's knowledge of his family....sorry, I mean the Kim dynesty.
