Turning into Canal Street from the West Side Highway, motorist will not miss the big black billboard which states:

--------------------------
XL L M S XS MINI

miniusa.com
--------------------------

There is nothing spectacular about the advertisement, but at least those of us on this side of the atlantic can look forward to receiving our cars soon enough

I had a tough time explaining this advertisement to my friend as he has no idea what the MINI or Mini Coopers are

He's not MINI-mad and yet you still consider him your friend???

well, he was the driver that day and I was the passenger. So I preferred to be 'motoring' rather than walking

oh wait, we don't actually 'motor' when we are in non-MINIs do we?!

I saw the same billboard on the West Side Hwy further up, near the GW Bridge. I thought it was a clever ad -- it makes the point about the most obvious feature of the MINI, and it directs you to a website if you are curious. I saw it on Saturday, I wonder how long it's been up?

What an experience Canal St was when I visited your fab city back In January

I mean it was full of fake designer good, dodgy shops selling anything & everything

Surely this isnt the best place for a MINI Bill Board

(only joking

)

it will attract all those people looking for a great bargain since it's truly the best bang for the buck vehicle you can get

Spotted this interesting giant billboard of a beautiful Chili Red Cooper S w/white stripes near Time Sq. today on Broadway bewtween 51st and 50th streets. The objective of this ad is to show every single feature the MINI Cooper S has available. Note how the description even runs over to the other billboards next to it!

there are starting to be a a myriad of MINI ads at bus stations as well!
