1. Five of the Hottest Celebrity Mums' Cars
2. Britney Spears: Ferrari 360 Spider
3. Claudia Schiffer: classic Jaguar
4. Patsy Palmer: BMW Z4
5. Jade Goody: Porsche Cayenne
6. Sharon Osbourne: MINI Cooper

It was a bit of a surprise when BMW bought the Mini brand and developed a completely new model range based on a single body style. In 2001, the New MINI made its appearance and it was an instant hit with buyers soaring to the top of small car sales charts endearing itself with young and old.

Indeed, the same could be said of some of Sharon Osbourne's protégés of recent years. Like the talent show she judges on, the new MINI has that elusive 'X-factor'. Five years on, sales of the MINI have not slowed substantially, with Sharon herself taking delivery of a Union Jack liveried example recently. Now that the Osbourne kids are grown up (well, in physical age at least), Sharon is free to nip around in a car that does not necessarily need a spacious interior. Wonder what Ozzy thinks of the cheery interior though. We suspect it's not printable.
