Sunset is kind of a long street. :D

Aaron: do you remember the approximate cross street?

It is very close to La Cienega and Sunset intersection (coming from Santa Monica, take La Cienaga and turn left to Sunset; within a block it will be on your left). I saw it while I went to the Comedy Store to see Eddie Izzard. Very funny – both Eddie and the bilboard :)

I am actually going to be closer to that location tomorrow evening. I can go there and record a short mpeg (640×480) to show the bilboard in “action”. Can somebody host it? It wont be a big file…

They have one thats not animated on the 710 Long Beach freeway basically in Los Angeles, CA. I see it everyday driving home on the 710 north on the left side. Its been there for about a month now.

That same billboard is in San Francisco on Broadway just east of Columbus right in the middle of the strip clubs and sex toy stores. It fits in perfectly and the animation is great!

Other car companies have used the age- old ho-hum “Topless” inuendos but this billboard is great and really captures the passion of MINI owners.

Gabe, can you provide a larger picture so that I can save it to the desktop of my computer?…

There is a non-neon version of this on Rt 45 South bound just before the I 55 interchange. That's south of Orland Park for you Illinoisians.
