No, but I'd like a car I've spent a small fortune on to have a bit of thought put into the design of every single piece. To hit the horn in an emergency situation (and it was) and break your car is patently absurd. Yet it happened to me, and judging by these forums many others. It doesn't NEED a Mini logo there smakc bang in the middle of the steering wheel, if you put one there then make it able to withstand normal wear and tear - don;t just go the facile cosmetic route. It ain't rocket science.

And quite frankly, whether slightly malleable or rock hard, I'd prefer not to have either flinging at a massive rate of knots towards my head region should the unthinkable happen. If they have to put the logo there, make it so it lasts.
