Which Mythbuster drives a Mini?

I was watching Mythbusters tonight, the Movie Myth episode where they drop buster through 3 awnings. At one point they panned over the edge of the roof looking below, and there were four vehicles, one of them a darker Mini with a checkered roof.

Surely on an abandoned military base, that has to belong to the camera crew or staff... And if they were just surveying the site, I would assume camera crews would not use a Mini with accessories, leaving it to be a crew members. Is it one of the interns?

It's in quite a few. Almost every time they do something in the parking lot, you see it.

That's the old Alameda Naval Air Station. They do a lot of their shooting there. The main shop (m5 Industries) is in San Francisco, just off Ceasar Chavez.(Army St.)
