I have seen a few in Chinese movies/soap operas. They love them in Taiwan. Small, easy to drive and park.

okay so I've read all the pages, and I know someone mentioned it in a previous thread (mysteriously disappeared?) but there's been a couple MINIs on "The Office" tv show with Steve Carrell.
I believe a SS one has been on there a couple times!

I've spotted them in several episodes of Fringe. They're almost like the Observers, lurking in the background.

Nice red MC on Eastwick. I think I was one of the only people watching that show...it sounds like it wasn't picked up for any new episodes past this season.

Just saw "Nobel Son" last night and the main antaganist drove a red r50. They also hooked another red r50 up with r/c capability and it sounded like it was an S with the supercharger sound but, it was only a Cooper. They also had 4 or 5 other r50s of various colors. Oh one more thing the Antaganist got killed when he went to his house heard the cops coming tried pulling a bike off a cieling rack and the cieling cam down because of a MINI that was up stairs and killed him. Overall the movie was retarded but, the MINIs made it worth seeing again.

Saw an episode of Moving Up on TLC and the young guy and his father had a blue/white top regular Cooper. I couldn't tell if it was a r50 or r56 becasue it was the back half side profile view and I couldn't see the wheels.

I read thru all five pages and I have one no one mentioned ...

It's TV, not a movie ... but there's an episode of Bones where Seeley has Hodgins drive him somewhere and Hodgins drives a beautiful red classic Mini.

Seeley complains the whole time about the toy car

In the new season premiere episode of Doctor Who they were driving a classic Mini for several of the scenes. Very nice.

I continue to spot MINIs in episodes of Fringe. Seems like at least every third episode, maybe more often, I'll spot one in there.

I love that show and have spotted MINIs here & there, 2.

A week or two ago, Elena (Vampire Diaries) was driving one; couldn't tell exactly what model it was other than a Cabrio cuz it was a night scene.

Not a Movie, and it's a TV Commercial not a show...

( Forigve me VioletDC I know you've seen this already )

Not a Movie, and it's a TV Commercial not a show but seemed natural for me to post here... Here's my! car which was just used for a local commercial. No that's not Philipina and I in the car, they used actors.



And a little I shot of the 'Making of'
