Something I was wondering about this morning...

Does anyone know of any celebrity MINI drivers?

 

The most infamous has to be Britney Spears

. . . and I believe MythBuster Adam Savage drives a BRG MINI

 

I wonder if Brittney's dad will cut us a deal on the MCS Cabrio. The seat belts probably don't work that's why she never buckles her kids in.

Is it Adam's?! I always see it but never knew who drove it. Damn, I was hoping for Kari.

 

Madonna has also owned one - may still

Jeong Jang, LPGA golfer bought one a couple years ago as a reward to herself for winning a tournament

Goldie Hawn

Elijah Wood - Classic Mini

Charlotte Church

Lily Allen

Jennifer Love Hewitt

 

Those I've seen photos of:

Rupert Grint - "Ron Weasley"
Dirk Nowitski - NBA

 

A year or so ago, Dale Earnhardt Jr sold his modified Cooper s on ebay.

 

Penn Gillette actually was actually at AMVIV last year I believe.

 

Alonso Boden the judge from last comic standing has one. He likes mine more.

 

 

I believe that Grant Wilson - co-founder of TAPS (SciFi show Ghost Hunters) - drives one. I saw an episode where he left his keys on a table and there is no hiding that distinctive MINI key!

 

what are those wheels? (I'm planning to dump my R98's for something lighter).

 

I've heard that Adam Carolla has an 06 MCS. (since they've dropped the show in Phx, haven't heard him since).

 

Comedian, Jimmy Fallon owns a cabrio.

 

I think Adam said something on his show the other day like when I had a MINI Cooper. I think he sold it. He did drive his silver MCS on his TLC show "The Adam Carolla Project" where they remodeled a house. He also drove a silver 350z.

You can stream the show online if you want to hear it: http://adam.freefm.com/

 

also heard that Bono, sting, neil Young, kevin spacey have MINI's...also trot nixon(formerly of the red sox)

I also heard that george foreman had one but this was not confirmed

 

I think you have to be funny to be considered a comedian.

 

Sting owns/has owned one.

Now, if you include the classic mini, we have:
- The Beatles
- Peter Ustinov
- Peter Selers
- David Bowie
- Mick Jagger
- Kate Moss
- Princess Margaret
- Twiggy
- Enzo Ferrari

(from the book "MINI" by Patrick Paternie)

 

Steve McQueen owed a classic Mini.

 

Jay Demerit, an American from Green Bay, WI, who nows plays professional soccer in England and has played for the US National Team, drives a Silver & Black MINI.

 

Among his stable of exotics,
2 Rolls Phantoms, An Aston Martin, and a million $$ Bugatti Veyron, Simon Cowell (of IDOL) spends most of his time driving what he describes as "a very fast mini cooper". Nice to be known in good company!

And one of the guys from SCMM bought Heather Locklear's mini--complete with Richie Sambora's dent that he added.

Who's Drives the Black MINI I keep seeing on the show then? I thought that was ether Adam's or Grant's.

 

Any celebrities on NAM ???

 

+1

Good question...

Altough, I doubt they'd tell, because their PM box would probably explode.

 

I believe the San Antonio Spurs' Brent Barry drives one.
