Are they the same in all parts of the world? With different languages

A few weeks ago, the wonderful "It's small at the top." billboard was removed from along the West Side Highway in Manhattan

It felt very lonely out there without it, but then yesterday I spied a new one, in a different place along the same road, which reads "Get two, their small"

Just in time for the holidays, no doubt, but I like it.

Is the same advertising campaign used all over the world?

Heh, at least you get advertising. Here in Michigan, I have seen NO ads for MINIs at all - not on TV, not on billboards, nothing! I keep wondering about it and deciding it's part of the plan to keep them in high demand - lots of secrecy...

I have ads all over the place here in Jax. Mostly I have seen the MINI Mavericks here recently

haven't seen the ones ur talking about...

but on the ads for a new romantic-drama series thing on tv (between the sheets) there's the "MINI guide to romance" which is amusing

hopefully UK people will know what i mean!

Yes, I am aware of the MINI guide to romance......have you seen "how to motor in a MINI"

A friend of mine sent me a page out of a hustler mag I believe which showed you how and where to get your motor running...

I loved the mini billboards that we had here in Miami. It showed the mini zooming across the billboard, and behind it, "growing" out of the ground (not on the billboard, but actually COMING out of the real ground) were huge fake palm trees, bent over, to show how the mini was "sucking them in"...it was great.

Every country has their own Campaigns ... take a look in the goodies>video section of MINI2 and you'll see commercials from USA, Canada and the UK

Thanks Gene - I hadn't even noticed that part of the site.

Never heard of the MINI Mavericks, nor the MINI guide to romance... I do like the idea of the wind whipped palm trees though.

lots of wonderful stuff in the goodies section
