For all of us who have ordered MINIs before and received our production numbers, only to find ourselves logging in to the MINI Owners’ Lounge to see the dreaded “On Order” message, this video helped take the edge off waiting for our cars to be built. I remember watching a few times when I ordered both of my MINIs. Thanks to Leo for finding it on Google Video!

John Cooper Works 210bhp Promotional Video
This is a very sweet promo video for the 210bhp John Cooper Works tuning packages for the MINI Cooper and MINI Cooper S hosted my Michael Cooper himself.
Not So “Mini”
So this one may not be for the kids… However – this is some FUNNY stuff. It has been said that men who drive large cars are making up for, um… other shortcomings. Well if this is the case, this ad sure makes the case for those Mini drivers out there who must not have to make up for anything! If you are easily offended – PLEASE do not click the link.

Classic Mini vs MINI Gen 2
This is a cool little clip comparing the Classic Mini to the BMW-owned MINI. It amazes me how much torque the tiny little classics have. If it wasn’t for the dropped cylinder, I think the Mini would have smoked the MINI. What do you think?
Don’t Drink and Drive =)
This is one of my favorite MINI Commercials. Really makes you think twice before drinking in a MINI. Boy would I have LOVED to be the driver in this ad. Those twisties and hills look AWESOME!
Counterfeit MINIs
This little bit of marketing genius is just brilliant! I could not stop laughing the first time I saw it a year or so ago. Basically, it is a commercial for MINI’s but done in a way that looks like a commercial for a DVD on how to spot fake MINI Coopers. Complete with “victims” who have to hide their identity because they bought a MINI for $1200 off Ebay and thought they would be ready to “Motor”! There is even a website set up dedicated to the “Counter Counterfeit Commission”: [ Counterfeit MINIs ]
Ruby Tuesday Ruby MINIs Commercial
This has to be one of my favorite TV ads that is still on the airwaves. It features 4 Chili Red MINI Cooper S’s racing along ‘Italian Job-style’ complete with some incredible driving sequences. As I was watching the NASCAR race today at Loudon, NH on TNT, they ran this ad and it prompted me to post this :). Enjoy!
Classic Mini Stunt Video
Check out this AMAZING peice of video footage of a Classic Mini tearing up the asphalt. I have never seen a car move like this!
