Lights, camera, action for Maxi-CUBE on “The Block Sky High”

Van brand Maxi-CUBE made a cameo appearance on Channel Nine’s reality TV series The Block Sky High recently.
The episode, which aired at 7pm on Tuesday 25^th June, featured two former contestants driving billy carts out of a Maxi-CUBE van, issuing a challenge to the Sky High contestants.

The two former contestants, Mike and Andrew, were last seen on the 2012 series of the show, when their South Melbourne terrace sold for a whopping $1,400,001.01. The pair pocketed $434,001.01 prize money between them and returned in spectacular style as they drove their two billy carts down a ramp out the back doors of the stationary Maxi-CUBE. The pair revealed that their appearance was in order to issue a challenge to the current crop of contestants – to build and race a billy cart.

While an audience of 1.191 million viewers tuned in to see the episode last night, Maxi-CUBE is certainly no stranger to the screen.

The brand also appeared in the 2011 Hollywood film “Killer Elite”, starring Jason Statham, Clive Owen and Robert De Niro, in which a 1970s model Maxi-CUBE was used in a high octane action sequence shot partly on Melbourne roads.
