2007 MINI Discussed on MSN Video
Once again MSN features the MINI Cooper – this time in video! Take a look at this news segment that discusses small, fuel efficient cars. They say the new MINI looks exactly like the current one. I guess I am just too familiar with the car to agree with that :). Thanks to Minvader for the link!

MSN Covers the 2007 MINI
Let’s give props to MSN Autos for covering MINIs twice in the past week or so. This article gives us their take on the new design with some familiar photos that I am sure you have already seen ;).

Classic Mini Spotted in NBC’s “Heroes”
I finally got around to watching the Premiere of that new show “Heroes” tonight after it has been sitting in my DVR all week. Great show by the way! Kind of like “Smallville meets Lost meets The Matrix”. Very interesting story lines of how superheroes get their start by discovering their powers. But this isn’t a TV show blog so why am I bringing this up? Well, about 43 minutes into the episode, there is a scene where the Japanese teleporter Trekkie gets thrown out of a bar and into an alley. Well wouldn’t you know – a classic Mini happens to be parked there. Cool huh?

“The British Are Back” is the name of this article in which an MSN “British correspondent takes a historical drive down the eastern seaboard in a modern MINI Cooper.” Guess they missed MINI Takes The States, huh?

The boot actually looks pretty roomy. Notice the separate exhaust pipes. I personally think larger tips like the Blue Flame exhaust are in order, but I like it nonetheless. I am still not a fan of the “Fisher Price” interior on the MKII , but I am guessing once I see one in person I may change my mind. Until then I will keep an open mind.
