Ah, a reference to his trumpet playing abilities, very good. Originally Spike was a excellent trumpeter.

There's a lovely story in Norma Farnes book on Spike where he asks her to see to his car that "broke down". He couldn't remember where he'd left it, so she spent the afternoon looking for it. He usually had just run out of petrol. She found the car, but overnight someone had come along and nicked the engine! "Never mind" said Spike - "just buy me another..." :)

He was a fan of the Mini? His friend Peter Sellers was as well, in fact come to think of it Peter Sellers was obsessed with cars.

"Drive the Flag" - the problem was the flag wouldn't even start

@oneleggedtog Got to agree with you on that one.......still the fun of having one of the little bastards makes it worthwhile

@leek1975 - What a ridiculous claim for a car that works well and is popular all over the world- unlike the original ones. Then again, BMW does have a poor reputation for the reliability of its cars, lack of prestige-culminating in low sales. Get real.

@leek1975 Now the Entire Country is in Agreement on that.

Down With "Herr MINI" .

The new minis are shite.
