Red Bull MINI sighting

I saw a Red Bull Mini on the Delaware Memorial Bridge today!

Uh, that's all. Just thought I'd share. I didn't take the attached pic, I googled it for reference.

Very cool.

I saw one in San Francisco a few weeks back. I was driving, or else I'd have snapped a pic (or tried). Is the one in the pic above a convertible? The one I saw was.

I see it (one of them at least) every week where I live near Pittsburgh and it never gets old. Plus, they always give out samples!

I met a college student who had a summer job driving a Red Bull MINI in the Detroit area. She said there were two in this area. She had a blast driving it, mostly to college campuses to hand out samples. Sounds like a better summer job than I ever had!

I've seen the Red Bull MINI in midtown Manhattan a couple of times over the past few months. It definitely is a standout.

I saw one in the parking lot here at work a few weeks ago (I work at a university, so they were probably doing a promotion for the students).

One of the first minis I encountered after receiving mine was a red bull one, and I still see them pretty often around here. They don't seem to understand the whole waving thing. As a rep for a soft drink, you'd think they'd wave anyway....

The one that used to roam around Buffalo NY is being sold now (it might have been purchased already) as a "custom mini pickup truck" without the big red bull on it.
