I'm not at all surprised. I remember her driving in several celebrity auto races at Long Beach.

"Trot Nixon owns a MINI." I now like my very first Red Sox player (but not for baseball reasons, lol). Yankees fan since 1969 here... ;-)

GEORGE FOREMAN owns a MINI (MCS... saw it on a "CBS Sunday Morning" spot twice)

Elijah Wood, aka "Frodo Baggins" from the Lord of the Rings movies has one. I think its a BRG MCS. I saw him in Santa Monica driving down the street.

I also saw James Garner driving his JCW MCS in Malibu.

He sold his MINI? How terrible! He and I purchased ours at the same time and I always felt a kinship with him - he's one of my heroes.

IB/W JCW MCS too.....niiiiiiice!

Mike Myers' (soon-to-be-ex) wife had a black 04, but it ended up for sale in Houston last year. Maybe because she sold the MINI?

Someone on Mythbusters, though I don't who, must have one because each time they work on a myth outside the building I keep seeing one.

Yeah I noticed that too. I think it was a black mini. Don't remember if it was an S model though.

"MAKE MY DAY!"

Clint Eastwood owns a "Classic" Mini Woody Wagon!!! He mentioned it in a recent interview with 'USA Today'. Check it out, (he mentions it towards the end of the interview). I actually saw him pull up in it many years ago on a televised Golf Classic! He was grinning from ear to ear, and was wearing an Englishmens 'Lid' for a cap! All I remember was that it was right hand drive and very cool looking! Mini Estate

Speaking of...

"Make My Day" is the name of my Boston Whaler boat built in 1964 and originally owned by Clint. Looks like we both have a liking for nice classic toys!

I sold a NBA Player a MCS when I was in San Antonio, and I just sold one of the Phoenix NFL Players a Clubman for his wife! I can not mention names because it is against company policy.
