There was a parked MINI in the news on Sunday that was a victim of an untimely accident in San Francisco. Some punk kids were running from police in a pickup. They ran several red light till the lost control and hit two parked cars. I think the other was a Honda. Not sure on that. ANyways, it was a red Mini that looked pretty muched totalled. Funny thing was when the reporter was interviewing a witness, one of her comments was "Poor Mini."

FOund a link to local news homepage. Just choose link under video news for Teen Leads SF Police on High SPeed Chase

The new Doctor Who, Season 2 had a red/white MINI on it. Can't remember the episiode name off-hand, but the MINI was driving down the street, and then suddenly 'died'. Our 'heroes' of the show had to push it to get it started back up. Bummed me out. They didn't even use the original sound, they dubbed over the car. :/

I was changing channels and just saw one. Given the circumstances and nature of the incident, I'll leave it at that.

Last week I saw several cast members aqueezing into a blue MCSC with a stuffed dog (don't know if it was a rerun or not). On the movie side, a nice looking Mini a the end of Hitch....

My wife watches Charmed, where in season 5 & 6, Phebe, played by Allisa Milano drives a MINI Copper Dark Silver/Black Roof.

Also, Sopranos season 6, Chris Moltisanti does some naughty things in a MINI, not sure on color, but there's a thread here if you search.

Was anyone watching Ace of Cakes on the food network the other night when the guy was in the process of making a MINI cake complete with bonnet stripes. This cake was not the focus of the show (too bad ) b/c it was game night cakes.

I saw a Bridgestone commercial during Planet Earth on Discovery that had a blue (I think, it was a dark shot)/white MCS at the end of it, spinning up to a gas pump.
