<p>Thanks for sharing! During the LA Auto Show I saw them filming with a couple of what I think were JCW’s and a very unrealistic looking ramp in downtown LA. Anyone spotted that video anywhere? Looked like it might end up using some fun CGI to make the ramp look real.</p>
<p>I saw the video you are referring to just a short while ago here on motoringfile. It was the contest winner of “the best test drive ever” contest”.</p>
<p>Why did it get pulled?</p>
<p>Awesome–thanks, robblef. A quick youtube search found it. :)</p>
<p>MINI really needs to cut the crap with these BS cars=fashion videos. What the hell do I want to see some guy getting a haircut and a tux fitted when im watching a car video for? Bring back the BMW films and have them for MINI. Those were REAL car videos.</p>
<p>It’s called lifestyle advertising and it’s aimed squarely at the heart of the Mini demographics. 95% of Mini owners don’t care about heel and toeing, hitting the redline or the apex, etc. Shame, but there it is. Kudos to Mini for at least having a manual in the car.</p>
<p>Where did the other video go with the contest winner?</p>
<p>The one where he jumped the giant ramp, landed on the slats flats doing 150mph and slalomed around the parachute guys while eating sushi with a hot stewardess?</p>
