The Italian Job (January 9, 2009)

Mark is 18 years old and he lives in Bristol, England.  He loves this old movie called The Italian Job.  The movie is about some really smart thieves who like to drive these small but fast cars called Mini Coopers.  In the movie, they do something to the engines to make them even faster.  They drive through parks and on sidewalks.  The best scene is when they drive down these stairs to reach the subway station platform.  Then they drive off the platform and onto the tracks.  Mark watches this movie once a month and he loves Mini Coopers.

On September 29th, Mark’s parents gave him a birthday gift.  It was a Mini Cooper!  He was so excited that he couldn’t sleep that night.  He woke up the next day and called his friends.  Some of them told him to meet at a pub to celebrate his new car.  They met and drank many bottles of beer.  They talked about The Italian Job.  One of his friends told him that he should pretend that he was in the movie.

Mark was quite drunk so he thought that was a good idea.  He got into his new car and drove off.  He drove through parks and on sidewalks.  Then he saw a subway station entrance.  He drove down the stairs and when he hit the platform, his Mini Cooper flipped over.  Someone called the police and Mark is in big trouble.  His parents were furious because Mark had crashed a one-day-old Mini Cooper.

The police have charged him with drunk driving and damaging public property.  He should not have met at the pub because driving after drinking beer is very dangerous.  People should not copy dangerous scenes from movies.
