Please do! I'm new to this forum so it's nice to have a buddy already!

Me - a pepper white clubman with black racing stripes, also much loved....

I'm such an Anglophile, and find it neat to know my car was made in Oxford, England....

I'll have to dig for the episode but there's a Family Guy where some English dude is being chased and he appears to be driving a MINI. Any help?

I just watched an episode of Desperate Housewives, season 7 episode 21 I think, and Bree's new boyfriend picks up a hooker outside of a MINI dealership! Tons of MINIs in the background :D

My brother is such an Anglophile, he married an American girl who's last name is Crump! He wants a MINI so bad, he can taste it

Ya know what bugs me? Turns out Abbey is ok, but has expressed absolutely NO angst over her wrecked MINI, but I guess she's so rich she will simply buy another...

In Bones there is a couple of episodes where they are over in England for some reason or another, but that's not important. What is important is that Booth rents a classic mini.....though he's not entirely happy about it, since he asked for an Aston, and that's what they gave him :D

Crump! Perfect British name! Tell him to keep the Mini dream alive - it will happen....it did for me....
Yep, what's with Abbey - not a word about her car - we care more than she does! She obviously doesn't deserve it.

You are right, she doesn't! she is so spoiled, and even her Mother is enabling her, by saying SHE was driving the car....erg...seriously??

I know my brother will get his MINI someday, probably when his young boys are older

Watched last weeks NCIS Los Angeles, Heddy is walking down a street in Praugue, and in several shots you can see a gorgeous classic mini in the background...

I was catching up on "Bones" from a few weeks ago, they showed Hodgins and Angela in his classic Mini at the end.

Watching my DVR'd soap, and saw a Maybelline mascara commercial, and CERTAIN that a red classic MINI crashed thru something...very fast. Paused, replayed...yep....pretty sure it was a beautiful classic MINI. The model in the spot had "Anjelina Jolie" qualities...

Another glimpse of the pepper white MINI on The Young and the Restless, where Abbey has a flashback of the crash and realizes she was driving the car that hit Tucker.....

Its been on quite a few episodes of Mythbusters, there's been quite a bit of speculation around here about who's it is.

My wife's MIMI (CR\B cabrio) was in two episodes of What Chilli Wants on VH1. It was driven by one of the characters on the show.
