Overall, a fair and balanced report.

What did she call you? Sounds like Picard?

I never knew Gabe was French! French-Canadian, perhaps?
Mr. Miagawi

So how long before Mini starts getting calls about that new “Gabe” product they’re promoting in Chicago. Pretty soon, everyone will want one to go with their Mini!

She probably heard you live on the North Shore and figured you must be pretentious…

Nice interview, Gabe Bridge-are!

Wonder if we’ll get these in the UK anytime soon?

Bri-zhar? Somehow it sounded French and Pirate-y all at once.

Smooth move Fox.

Great comments on the Bridaaaaar sound. It did sound quite royal. Gabe, I skipped ER to keep the Fox news on last night to see this. I looked up and caught the preview and said I know that man on the billboard.

Cool story. Looking quite dapper on film too. ;)

Merde alors! I’ll bet he shops at Tarzhay, that wicked man! Mon deu!

Gabe gets extra credit points for standing out in 31 degree weather too. Way to go Mr. Bridjared!
Paul

Just as long as Gabe doesn’t say engage when he press the Fob he’ll be ok.

And here I thought I’ve been pronouncing your name wrong all this while…til I hit the comments. :) Leave it to fox news… Where exactly is that billboard, and is there more than one in chicago? We usually see the one on a train bridge but I think that’s in NJ. I wish we had one here, perhaps to replace some of the existing mini billboards around (currently nearby the dealerships with the fuel relief ahead sign)

The one in NYC is by the Lincoln tunnel entrance on 10th Josh.

HMMMM…. I may be developing some fob envy…

Hey!! What a surprise!! What is your name again?? Did you legally change it? Good to see you!
