I thought it would be interesting to know who famous owns or has owned a Mini Cooper? (classic & new version)

Here's a sample that come to mind:

Steve McQueen - classic
Adam Carolla - r53 MCS
Britney Spears - convertible

 

Penn from Penn & Teller has a MINI

 

Penn Jillette? He's 6'7"! That really says a lot about how roomy these little cars are.

 

Elijah Wood
Madonna
Goldie Hawn
Jimmy Fallon
Steve McQueen
Clint Eastwood
Paul Newman
Charlotte Church
Jennifer Love Hewitt
Sharon Osbourne
James Blunt
Kristen Stewart

 

I'm 6'7" too. As my brother-in-law said when he first sat in my MCSc, "It is deceptively roomy."

Another celeb for the list:
John Stockton

 

Bobby Rahal
Dale Ernhardt Jr.
One of the guys from Myth Busters

 

Well, you think some of these famous folks would at least stop by and say 'hi" once in awhile!!! I mean, are they enthusiasts or not!?!?!?!?

 

Andre the Giant " OBEY "

 

Any idea what model and color? He is local, so I might see him around.

 

Someone this weekend said Drew Carey also owns a mini.. and then there is the rapper Tpain .. and Shaqeel (how the heck do you spell it) Oneil

 

Might explain why I've seen more MINIs offered up on Price is Right....

But I'm glad we're expanding this list, the first post had me wanting to ditch my MINI due to the company it keeps.

 

Enzo Ferrari.

 

Thanks, that really made my day.

I did some digging on da interwebz & also found..

Sting
Juan Pablo Montoya
Prince William of Whales
Kevin Spacey - classic
Whoopi Goldberg
George Harrison - classic
Robbie Williams
Simon Cowell
David Hasslehoff

 

To answer my own question, I found this quote attributed to Clint Eastwood:
I wonder if he still has it?

 

Jr. sold this on E-bay I think back in '07 and gave the proceeds to some charity. It may have been $38,000?

 

How about Princess Margaret (as in the current Queen of England's sister).

 

Minnie Driver = MINI driver?

 

There are many listed in this thread.

 

Alan Davies had one.

 

Princess Grace (Kelly)
As seen above, Enzo Ferrari
James Garner

 

Each of the Beatles owned Mini's;
John Lennon
Paul McCartney
George Harrison
Ringo Starr

 

One of my favourite actors

 

Thats a pretty cool pic, think thats the basket weave design on the side ?

 

Adele drives a mini

 

Marc Bolan from T-Rex was (in)famously killed in a Mini...
