Here in the Northeast, there is a new Friendly's restaurant TV commercial that shows a LY/W MINI pulling into a parking space. Looks just like mine! And I do frequent Friendly's. Hmmmmm, I wonder........should I be getting royalties?

There is a tire TV commercial that has a bunch of silver cars on lifts with people beating drums and dancing... one of the cars is a MCS.

It's not an ad, but...
My parents were watching 10.5 last night and they told me they saw a MINI fall off a bridge.

Target using MINI in today's insert.
Not sure how they plan on fitting the cases in the back. I guess the kid goes inside the biggest case...

No sweat...

Simple. Kid in the passenger seat, back seats down. No problem. Could probably be done w/ one seat down as well.
