Yep, the MINI was paid, the TV show paid to have the bonnet stripes added and when they used her MINI they gave her something to drive.

In one of the older seasons of Desperate Housewives, Susan's daughter (can't remember her name) comes home from college and there is a shot of her in the driveway with an Oxygen Blue base cooper leading you to believe it's hers.

Just saw one drive passed on HGTV's Desperate Landscapes "Who's Laughing Now?" Episode!! Don't know when the episode aired and it was towards the very end.

just saw a commercial for century 21 (real estate) and about 18 seconds in, the tach on a 37,xxx mile mini is revved up used to symbolize "speed" as a part of the agents characteristics.

Speaking of James May, It looks like he gets to ride along in the MINI Countryman WRC car in the new season. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJnpCp841_0

Go see Cars 2, there are at least 20 Minis in the movie. Green, white and red are the most prevalent.

I was watching the John Travolta film "From Paris with love." There's a scene where Jonathan Rhys-Meyers walks into a public garage to meet his new partner (Travolta) and I had to backtrack the DVD a second. There was clearly a Mini CLUBMAN(!) in the background. Has anyone else seen a Clubman in any movies other than this?

If you watched BBC America a few years ago, you might have seen "Coupling," which, to me, is like a British version of "Friends." The redhead, Sally, drove a red MINI.

Tonight we watched Unkown, great movie by the way, and there was a scene with a white mini under a little snow parked on a corner.

At the Beginning of Tron Legacy when Sam is getting his motorcycle back from the impound lot, there is the distinct A panel of a "Justa".

Also, in Transformers there is a Cooper ( I don't remember if its a Cabrio or a Cooper) when Megatron and Optimus are fighting in the street at the end.

One of the wives in Hall Pass drives a Cooper.

Of course Austin Powers' MINI.

P.S. Didn't Mr. Bean drive a classic in his show?

Worth seeing, though not his best. Don't expect a lot of laughs. Check out the reviews on www.rottentomatoes.com

In episode six of the English TV show "Misfits", one of the main characters is standing on a train platform. As the train passes by you can see the reflection of the MINI Mayfair Edition. Looks like it is on an ad on the other side of the platform. Here's a screen shot:
