Were those the 2400$ black JCW wheels?

Has anyone tried looking at the magazine ads with the 3-d glasses that came with the MINI welcome package?

I just saw it today, good stuff. The R56s looks really good.

Now only if they got the burb and chrono packages back...

I saw it last night for the first time! It was on SPEED channel.
Fun Ad, but I was thinking can a non-MINI owner catch all that mods in that short of time? I had to act pretty fast to get all the changes before my wife gives me quiz...
That blue R56 looks so hot...

What ever happened to the old "G-face" commercials? Can't seem to find them anywhere.

I resemble that remark! Hey, I like the mood light...just can't remember what I'm supposed to be gettin' the mood for anymore...

I don't see a link yet for the Dueling Banjos commercial that started the string. Found it on YouTube today!

Btw, I love the exploding soda one!

Thanks for posting!

EDIT: Doh! Two links are better than none I guess. A nice bump, regardless!

We just saw it on the Discovery Channel! Liked it so much we rewound it and watched it again! That is the first time I have seen one on TV. Usually it is over the net.

I saw it a few times during the past week.

BTW, there were a very few, rare MINI TV ads back in '02 or '03...ran on FOX-TV, I think.

Not as cool as this new dueling ad, which is very clever.

Haha! Exactly! Thanks!

I remember a slightly shorter one for TV advertising, too.

meh. I cant help but feel a bit sad by the commercial.
I liked the fact that MINI didnt need to do tv ads.
The coolest cars dont need to.
Now my MINI feels less special
