Anyone see the counterfeit mini commercial

I was watching the muscle car shootout with the guys from Dream Car Garage on Speed TV and a funny commercial came on about people counterfeiting Mini's.

I don't have a way to post the commercial but here is the link to the website.

http://www.counterfeitmini.com/

counterfiet mini, help

Speedtv had an add for a counterfiet mini video that was hillarious. I wasn't able to catch the phone number to order it but I'm hoping many of you saw this add. Have mercy on my soul, I need to order it.

Is the Essuv ad MINI as well?

This flashed past when I wasn't really paying attention...an ad that portrayed SUV's as huge beasts that people were trying to ride as in Rodeo... showed them roaming the range...gave a web address but I missed it.

No it's not. That's a different campaign that's actually specifically intended to raise awareness about how SUV's handle. That's a safety campaign and not for or against any auto maker...

So is this on Speed Channel only? Is it national? Has anyone in Northern California seen it?

We never get MINI commercials here!

I've seen it on ESPN and NFL Network. Those should be national.

Hey, thanks, Ian! I watched Speed and ESPN 2 for about four hours yesterday and got to the point where I thought if I had to watch one more monster truck crash or that "I'm a Netscape guy" commercial one more time, I was going to kill myself. "Sooner or later," I said to myself, "someone's going to post the thing."
