I wouldn't ridcule anybody buying what they wanted - I would rather have a Mini over a 197 - Big deal, its my choice.

I reckon the run flats made for very poor cornering/traction. I was driving home the other night, pulled out of a mates house at under half throttle in a standard Cooper on 17s, and both front wheels just spun to the red line. The road was slightly damp, but his Dads CL63 at full chat when all 525 odd horses are deployed doesn't even bother the traction control
