I'm not sure if its the same one...there was definitely a bubblegum pink one w/white bonnets stripes (hardtop, I think) there.

I saw that MINI on ebay just last night.

Seems really high priced, but I bet painting it pink cost a pretty penny. Plus it looks like it could be fully loaded.

I'll sell anyone my pink MINI for $45k :P

actually I don't think $31k is totally out of the question considering retail on a new convertable is about the same so they're probably taking a hit on the paint. it's only got 10k miles on it. It looks nice but too girly for me

I rather like that color pink. It definitely was not at MOTD. The Short Bus really needs that HP cabrio.

I think the price is in line for what it is - Cabrios pretty well loaded can add up pretty quick - and I'm sure the paint job was $$$.. If I were in the market for a MINI - I'd seriously consider this one - I LOVE IT!!!

Hey ladies!

Look what I found, just for you.

It just dawned on me that you might appreciate this.

I missed this thread before. But THAT is very funny, Tiggy !!

Don't worry, not only do I not like pink, I don't like THAT pink on THAT car. Wooooo, that's awful.

Aww. You don't like Pepto Bismol?

I once considered painting my calipers pink, so when people (like my smart-a$$ed brother) ask if it's a boy or a girl, I can tell them to look at the calipers and check for themselves

FWIW, I still think the pink cabrio is damn adorable.

Pepto Bismol Pink is a pretty good name for that color, ML !

Sorry, I asked my significant other if it was a woman thing and she nearly lost her dinner when she saw this MINI.

But hey, there must be a lot of people who agree with you because I saw it got 17 bids on e-bay. But then again, the high bid was only $12,500.

Bummer. Humpback '35 Fords, especially two-doors, aren't that common.
