British Motor Corp, owners of the Mini, refused to donate any cars for "The Italian Job" (1969). The chief of Fiat Motors offered to donate all of the cars needed, including Fiat 500s in place of the Minis. Peter Collinson, the director of the movie decided that, as it was a very British movie, the cars should be British Minis.
Fiat still donated scores of cars for filming, as well as the factory grounds. The authorities refused to close the roads, but the Italian Mafia stepped in and shut whole sections of Turin down for filming. The traffic jams in this movie are real, as are people's actions during them.

P.S: On this day, 56 years ago, "The Italian Job" (1969) premiered in London, UK.

Experimenting more with what I could do with this new format, so here’s Rachel’s 350Z with a bit of modern motion graphics twist, appropriately on Riders on The Storm by The Doors and Snoop Dogg.
If you’re ever traveling to the 3rd world, Africa specifically, you must read this
Basically go on Timu and order 30 shitty $1 watches that look shiny and wear one on your trip
Then when you’re driving through checkpoints or get stopped by corrupt cops, you start fumbling for cash.
“Ahhh geeze I don’t have any cash on me, but…hold on….i could give you my watch? It’s my father’s though, it’s silver too, ah geeze. I don’t want t-“
Then they’ll say something like “give me”
“FINE! I guess if you insist!” You reply
And you give them the watch. They think it’s valuable because it’s literally on a white mans wrist. They think it’s your daily driver watch.
Then you reach into your bag and put on the identical watch again.
That $200 bribe just turned into a $1 bribe and it’s a giant fuck you because you gave that corrupt cop a shitty timu watch.
I travel with at least 50 timu watches and I go through ATLEAST 10 per trip. It’s really
