That one is supposed to be re-run this month. I believe it is the episode where one of the characters gets turned on by auto accidents.

Good friend said she saw the MINI on Wheel of Fortune recently. "Be a Trendsetter..." they hailed at the show opening.

I watched the original film "The Omen" and there are a large amount of classic MINIs in it...which makes it better than the remake

Not a sighting, but close. Monday night on The Tonight Show, Jay Leno said" so as a sign of the times and an indication of how bad the obesity problem among kids is in the United States, the most popular Halloween costume this year is an actual MINI Cooper".

Mine was used on a CSI episode called " Heavy Metal . Grissom discovers blood stains on the amplifier. I also worked on a episode of Charmed where Alyssa and her buddy change a flat on a Cooper S. Yes they wrote it as having a spare tire , what do writers know

Saw the Woody Allen movie "Match Point" on HBO (so this counts as TV, right?) and in the opening half hour (I fell asleep after that) there was a scene of a London street where 3 MINIs drove by consecutively! You'd think that that would have kept me interested, but you'd be wrong... Even Scarlett Johansson was dull.

It was shot in 03 and is in the normal replay schedual so it is on at random times. The eposide is called " Heavy Metal " and is based on a murder using one of the battle bots ( robots ) . The robots were amazing to see in action .
