Without A Trace - MINI spotting

I don't know if anyone posted about this yet but on CBS's "Without A Trace" last night, the girl that dissappered at the beginning of the show was driving a sweet little MCS. My wife and I got real excited and then sad because it reminded us we have 8 more weeks. (If you catch the episode, look close in the windshield before the cop gets to the window. You can see the boom mic. Oops!)

I'm not sure if these have been mentioned because I'm pretty new here, but Turk on Scrubs drives a Mini Cabrio, and the main character on Fox's Free Ride drives a Blue MCS.

I think it was MC and not a MCS. HB/B with chrome mirror caps.

I dont know what I would do if I had to wait for my MINI. I just went to the dealer and picked it out. Sorry you still have 8 more weeks! But trust me, ITS WORTH IT! Oh, and back on the topic, I noticed it right away. How I miss a MINI? ha ha ha

Not exactly on topic, but in The Simpsons episode where they visit the UK, Homer rents a MINI.

HMM... Not sure about this one. I meant to save it but it the wrong button and delete it from the Tivo. Did anyone notice the microphone in the window? I am a videographer so I look for those types of things (in addition to MINI sightings).

Probably someone on staff has one. That is how a lot of things get written into TV shows.

I'm not sure why we're watching it, but a few minutes ago, I saw a MINI get washed away on the NBC TV movie 10.5: Apocalypse

Ha Ha

My wife and I are watching the same stupid show...10.5 apocalypse. We watched in horror as the silly looking CG tidal wave swept the MINI away.

...now I have to get back to tracking our new MINI that's on the way.
