Drunk student wrecks Mini in 'Italian Job' bid
A drunk student ruined a new £10,000 Mini by driving up a flight of stairs in a bid to recreate a scene from The Italian Job.
But the posh prat - who had only been given the £10,000 car hours earlier by his rich parents - ended up busting his front tyres, blowing up the radiator and causing the airbags to explode.
After speeding around the uni campus in the early hours of the morning, driving over pavements and lawns, the Bristol student and former Harrow schoolboy crashed into the the steps at their digs Wills Hall.
Two police cars and a helicopter were sent to arrest the 18-year-old for drink-driving after their actions woke other students.
He now faces a prison sentence after just one month at university. A police spokesman said: "He tried to recreate the Italian Job – but in the film they don't get caught."
