McQueens Mini?

I haven't seen this movie for some time, but does McQueen drive a Mini Cooper S (tiny British racing car) around the track with some dizzy blonde as his passenger?

If so was it his own Mini, because it's known that owned one amongst lots of other cars in his collection.

Anyway this will offer lots more information on all of his motorised fetishes:-

Not in this movie. His other car was another Porsche...a 911 with a sunroof.

Thanks for the reply and I wonder which film it was. To be honest I also thought Karen Black was the dizzy blonde passenger so maybe it wasn't McQueen at all?

Taffy, this post was a long time ago, but here's one possibility: There is a scene, close to what you describe, in the Paul Newman movie "Winning," where he is driving with Joanne Woodward's character down a twisty highway, in a road rally, in a Mini Cooper.

Cheers!
