TV SHOWS

1.
"Silk Stalkings" TV show on the USA net
work shows the top view of a red MKII during
opening credits. Also there is frequently a 87
gold MR2 sitting in various parking lots during
different scenes. I have also seen a red 85 on
the show too. The gold one is in at least 5
episodes. |
|
2. Red
MKII MR2 (probably 1991) has appeared in many of
the episodes of Superman: The Adventures of Louis
and Clark on ABC. |

3.
"ER" - There was a red mk1 in a parking
space in one episode. The scence took place in
their parking garage. The mk1 could be seen in
the back ground. |

4.
"Melrose Place" The opening credits of
TV show. You have to be very sharp as they only
show the teardrop wheels of the AW11. |

5. In
one of the reruns of in the heat of the night
there was a scene at the end of the show where
they were in front of a court and there was a

(luckily untouched) was a white MKI.

9. COPS
(I think in Las Vegas?), I spotted a white MkII
NA. The cop was turning right at an intersection,
the MR2 was going the opposite way |
|
10.
"The Very Best of the World's Worst
Drivers" The first MR2 sighting was what
must have been a supercharged (judging by the
speed) MkI (red) outrunning the police in the UK.
He was basically outrunning even the helicopter
that was following him but he came up on slower
traffic and bolted into the oncoming traffic lane
where guess what? There was oncoming traffic!
Shortly after the T-bone, a couple of police
motorcycles pulled up (he was outrunning them
too!) The second sighting was a white MkI (again
in the UK I think) that was beeing smoke screened
by some bonehead who put diesel is his gasoline
powered Rabbit. |

11.
America's Funniest Videos, there was a clip call
"virtual racing". A car road racing
with an onboard camera crests a hill, goes
underneath a bridge, and slows for a right hand
turn. Just ahead of it is a red Mk-I MR2!
Unfortunately, the rear of the MR2 comes loose,
the MR2 spins, and the car with the camera hits
it head on! |
|
12.
Alien UFO special on the Discovery Channel. The
episode was called UFO's "Down To
Earth" 3/4 of the way thru the show a
91+mK11 passed by the screen while they where

screen for just a second |

"Shrink Wrapped Classics"(?) in which
they are asking people what cars they would

some really nice thinks about the MR2. |
