Could it be something to do with a tall antenna sticking out of the MINI's roof and a lightning rod coming from the house? Kinda matches the tall fountain too.

No not Charlize Theron... I know someone on this messageboard knows the answer... I've seen reference to it before...

Hint 3: Its not a Movie... but close... I can give a name too but... maybe for hint #4

That looks like the house from that tv show Charmed... Do any of the ladies on the show drive a MINI? Alyssa Milano, Holly Marie Combs or Rose McGowan?

YES!!!! I went signt-seeing today and stopped by their house to take a picture... this is the house thats seen in almost every single episode of Charmed... and Phoebe (alyssa Milano) in charmed does drive a silver/black MINI... and Prue, the first sister (Shannon Doherty) use to drive a BMW X5. Wonder if BMW sponsors the show...

But ya and as for the fountain... it was used in the episode "Nymphs Just Wanna Have Fun" Season 5 Episode 18 originally aired on 4/20/2003 where they danced around the fountain.


Thanks for playing..

Very fun and cool but, I havn't seen any of those shows. The only silver and black MINI I seen on film was in the movie "Honey" it was some dude buying drugs out of it.

Yeah I caught that one too...a sad day for the MINI. But I was watching the Osborne's the other night and they showed Kelly's black Cooper in the driveway.
