LOL, you're probably right. A custom steering column no front seats and Shaq in the back with his head sticking out of the sunroof.

I believe that Grant Wilson - co-founder of TAPS (SciFi show Ghost Hunters) - drives one. I saw an episode where he left his keys on a table and there is no hiding that distinctive MINI key!

Jimmy Fallon, comedian, as a cabrio

George Lopez, comedian, Silver MCS

James Blunt, singer, cabrio

Gwen Stefani, singer, cabrio

Chris Barnes, vocalist for SIX FEET UNDER, has an S that he professionally Auto-X'es

David Bekkham, soccer player married to Spice Girl, has a GP

Eddie Van Halen has/had one. He has said it's loud as hell and has been pulled over when he drives it

Madonna is a great fan of the new Mini - she owns a Cooper S, complete with sat-nav to guide her around her new adopted town. In homage to the car, in her song "American Life" she sings "I drive my Mini Cooper and I feel Super Dooper."

Madonna's been passed around more times than a hockey puck in a playoff game. You'd want to have your tetanus shot and hepatitis shots before you went for a spin in her Mini...

for posting that pic. I forgot about that Mini. It was resold not too long ago on eBay.

Yep, HSURB driving around in that would be very fitting.

Mini laughs off last-place quality ranking - Autos- msnbc.com

Mini says it deliberately engineers quirks into its cars, like oddly placed dashboard controls or unusual interior lighting, that drag down its ratings in such studies. But Jim McDowell, vice president of Mini's U.S. operations, said those design features are central to the brand's personality.

"Mini has some idiosyncrasies that we engineer into our cars," said Jim McDowell, vice president of Mini's U.S. operations. "We want to make our cars remarkable little cars."

Does this mean we all have special cars too? Did Ford engineer in quirks like defective flywheels and clutches?

I feel "remarkable" now.









On a side note, they say the Mini is a quirky car. TG's a quirky guy.


Which became quirky first, the car or the guy?

Or more similar is the little button you have to push on the radio to select AUX input or CD or AM/FM. That button is small, oddly shaped, and directly adjacent to the volume knob. I don't have fat fingers, and even I have to press it with my pinky or wait until I'm stopped at a traffic light and can aim with a laser crosshair.
