Saw this episode at the NorthwestMini release event last night. With multiple salesmen running around with their best Hammer wigs and glasses it was quite a scene.
Well, unlike what the press release said about the series a few days ago, this one is utterly devoit of any information about the Cooper. Entertaining, yes… but as a marketing tool this one’s pretty soft.

MPG was the feature that was mentioned in this episode. Listen for the quote after Hammer asked if Coop needs any gas…
Coop’s reply is “Sound as a Pound chap”. I think that is the most subtle MPG statement in the history of automotive marketing. It’s hard to even hear it and most people won’t even get it. Maybe they’ll notice that the cheesy “cirlce of lights” fuel gauge is reading full. What “butch” car doesn’t have real gauges: fuel, temp, oil pressure etc? They’re trying to make a more manly car after they removed some of things men like. How does thant make sense?

When Hammer asked Coop if he needed some gas, did Coop said yes? If so then someone goofed b/c the fuel gauge shows a full tank in the next scene.
Was it me or did it seem short?
clearly not bmw films caliber

Per COOP – after the gas Q…
“Sound as a pound chap” aka i get 36 MPG baby…
To think that I missed 4 minutes of Britney Spears news on the ET channel for that.

The bad guys name, Sven Härtjän, is very close to the swedish word ärthjärna, meaning peabrain… hehe
I have just one thing to say about that….
<blockquote>Ninjas.
I hate Ninjas</blockquote>
I love the poking fun at Knight Rider.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t hear you properly, try talking closer to your watch.”
LOL
Funny how the turbo R56 sounds just like a supercharged R53 😉
How much is MINI spending on this dribble?
I couldn’t finish watching that one. These ads are annoying me. They’re trying way too hard…
Episode 4 is the BEST… Caviar Dreams…
“I’m looking forward to your people seeing my package. Wait a minute, that came out weird… but you know what I mean.” (Turns – kick to the chest)
LOL!
