Leyland Mini Clubman GT, apparently unique to Australia and New Zealand.

I like the striping but it seems the arches are standard and that's a little disappointing.

I don't know about elsewhere around the world but here those arches on the Clubman GT came out a couple of years before they were on later models. One of my friends had one.

It's Christmas time. So, of course me and my family are watching the requisite Die Hard-Hime Alone-National Lampoon's-Jingle All the Way flicks.
While looking up the cast of Home Alone, I see this pic of Catherine O'Hara.

Checked a couple more images and she's with other Canadian actors in and ON different cars.
The particular car she is sitting on in the above photo is a car(trim) I didn't know existed.

That's pretty darn cool.

"Merry Christmas you filthy" animals.
