I thought I'd share this .. Myself and another SCMM club member had our Minis taped for a Nelly Furtado video called Parking Lot. 16 hours of filming and I would do it again.. It was cool watching the whole thing take place.

Is it just me. Has anyone seen the italian job on netflix? Every time I search for it I get some other job. Then my friend will tell me he searched and found it on netflix. How many of you have watched the Italian Job on Netflix?

Dogs prefer to drive Minis.

To raise the profile of rescued dogs, 3 from the Auckland New Zealand SPCA are being to taught to drive. One will be filmed live on Dec. 10 driving a Countryman.

http://www.thedrum.com/news/2012/12/...ional-adoption

I think it's great that Mini agreed to work with the SPCA on this.

Even if my own dog is not getting anywhere near the start button.

It's all in fun. Gotta be a bit "quirky" if you own a Mini. I have a rather large sticker on mine, "Giggles Mobile Clown School, Get in, Pay, Get Out Funny". Stole it from a Hot wheels Mini that said same thing from 1993!!

On The Price Is Right, this morning they were celebrating Drew's 1000 episode and he had chosen all the prizes for that show. They were his favorite things. Well, wouldn't you know the first prize was a 2013 BRG hardtop!! He said he drives and LOVES his MINI!! Guy didn't win it..:(

Kinda surprised there haven't been many replies in the last 6-10 months so instead of a new thread, let's keep this one going!

My current Netflix addiction is "Eureka" and it seems like one out of every three people in that town drives a MINI! Whenever they show the main street where the sheriff's favorite coffee shop is, I see a MINI parked on that street half the time!

No one mentioned that several seasons ago on NCIS, Ziva drove a Chili Red with Black R53 S... She has the MINI driving style down pretty good!

Motor on!

Well, Gwen, that has to be good luck since your last name is Cooper! The woman is Agent Gwen Cooper and the man in the gray coat is her supervisor Jack Harkness.
