Just saw a BRG with the checkered edge-to-edge roof on Law & Order!!! It's so cool to see MINIs stealing the scene in more and more places. What about the birth control romance ad? I heard about the one on the "Charmed" TV show. Can't forget the Austin Powers MINI!

Where have you spotted a famous new MINI?

I know that Bobby Rahal is a Mini guy. :smile:

That would automatically make it famous!

Does Victoria's Secret count as "famous"? I saw one of their recent catalogues (about a month ago). You had to be an observant MINI-freak to notice it though because it was in the background and it only showed the front part of the car.

In the back seat next to the moonshine still ( how else do you think they got those cars to do over 200 MPH !? )

I spotted one on the opening shots of NYPD Blue a couple of weeks ago and, for those of you that get Tech TV, the host of the "new gadget" show, Fresh Gear, has a Liquid Yellow S that has made a few appearances.

Saw it on Charmed and the guy that hosts Designing for the Sexes on TLC has the model of the MINI. I think he's on the waiting list.

Chalk up Dale Jr. too, to the list of NASCAR drivers that are Mini owners,
and also Penn ( the magician not Sean).

I thought all Mini owners are famous????
