Blue Cooper S in the second episode of the latest season of Torchwood: Miracle Day! Driven (stolen getaway car!) by semi-primary character Esther, so we'll likely see more of it in future episodes...

tragic

Sadly, while watching The Today Show, spotted a blue Clubman in the taping of the Norway Terrorist attack. It was just sitting in the street surrounded by rubble. My prayers and heart go out to the people there...God Bless

Sitting here watching "Confined" on Lifetime Movie Network, shot of a photograph in a frame of an elderly German woman posing in front of a red classic movie. Split second shot, but unmistakeable...

I actually had to tv mini sightings last night. The first was on a show called Rate My Ride and the cars that were in competition with each other were a 70 Boss mustang, a 51 Hudson, a Dodge pickup and a R53 that was built up. The very next show was Operation Repo and the crew went to repo a car in Mexico, which is not allowed. The go to repo a newer R56 S and all goes wrong. They end up getting arrested and the show ended.

Mini on Midsomer Murder episode

Another sighting on British tv Midsomer Murders. "The Great and the Good" had several MINIS scattered throughout the show. It was a great episode.

I was watching the local news in Indianapolis about a window that blew out of one of the downtown buildings and crashed onto the street.

As the reporter was talking, the camera slowly pans to the nearby intersection & follows a red R53 down the road and out of sight. Then the camera slowly went back to the reporter.

The camera operator must own a MINI or want one.

Made me smile
