    Oh come on... you don't know NPH? I'll admit that I have no clue who the other folks are, but NPH?

    or Dita von Teese?

    or James Blunt?

    Jeebus, I'm old and completely out of touch and I know these people - and Neil Patrick of course (what you never heard of Doogie Howser?)

    Dave,

    I guess you have your finger more firmly on the pulse of popular culture than I do!

    Doogie Howser was the only one I had ever seen before.

    That's awesome.. but in the sellers description (Nick is not actually selling it, it's the second owner selling it) it says : "Nick had the original tires replaced with run-flats for superior handling." Said no MINI owner ever!!! I'm hoping that was a typo. Also "Interior is custom brown leather with cream accents." Ummm, those are an option from factory not custom. Clearly this owner is not a true MINI owner :D

    Actually, the run flat's stiffer sidewalls do improve turn in, that helps give MINIs that gokart feel.

    Ride? not so much, but ride and handling are different things.

    For the price of run flats you can buy better tires with just as stiff sidewalls and have the best of both worlds. (Ride and Handling)

    I'm new to MINI. What specifically makes this cabrio a "chick's car"? I have a Pepper White Roadster with the JCW exterior package. Certainly masculine IMO. However, I definitely would not buy a PW cabrio like Jimmy's.
