Best spy shots yet of the MINI SUV - and proof that it is four-wheel-drive. Check out the best spy shots of the year so far - the MINI SUV has finally been snapped up close. Our spies could barely believe their luck when they managed to seek out this prototype testing in Europe. While the bodywork appears to be near-identical to a standard Clubman, there are several visual clues to this being the new rough-road MINI. The most obvious change is the increase in ride height. This will give the MINI greater ground clearance and extra visual muscle. The large wheels sit wider in the arches than standard rims, while the wheelbase is also a little longer. http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/214686/mini.html |

 If you've ever lusted after a Mercedes 300 SLR, Jaguar XK 120 C or Aston Martin DB3S, no doubt your enthusiasm waned when you checked out the cost. The XK 120 C (C-Type) sold new for US$6000, twice the price of an XK120. A genuine, healthy C-Type will now set you back more than a million, and the 1953 Le Mans winner would be valued in excess of US$4 million if it was for sale (it's not). Replicas are available from a variety of sources but few come with the heritage of Proteus which has been producing all aluminium bodied sports cars for two decades. Under new management, the company is now in expansion mode and is seeking international distribution for its thoroughly authentic US$133,000 replica. Even better news is the plan to extend the range to include SS100, XKSS, and D-Type Jaguars, Aston Martin DB3S and the glorious Mercedes Benz 300SLR. http://www.gizmag.com/c-type-jag-replicas/8620/ |

 "A cloud does not know why it moves in just such a direction and at such a speed... It feels an impulsion... this is the place to go now. But the sky knows the reasons and the patterns behind all clouds, and you will know, too, when you lift yourself high enough to see beyond horizons." (Richard Bach - Jonathan Livingston Seagull) |

New England Pest Control advertises its services with a giant termite. A favorite sight for children passing by on the highway., at Christmas, the bug gets antlers and an illuminated red nose and becomes a winged Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. The snow in this picture will be gone by tomorrow: the temperature in Providence today hit 14 C. and is aiming for 17 C. tomorrow. (Lewis) |
We have a very active bar/club scene at our doorstep. Every morning brings new mysteries. A few days ago, a woman's boot in a pile of glass shards from a broken car window. Yesterday, on a street corner a brand new man's boot containing an Anheuser Busch beer bottle (partially full). Still there today. Question 1: How did the owner remove the boot without unbuckling it? 2. Why didn't he finish the beer? 3. Is he perhaps one-legged? (Lewis) |

Gizmag Magazine encountered a raft of exciting three-wheeled motorcycle designs in recent years including the Can-Am Spyder , Brudeli's Three-Wheel Leanster , the VentureOne plug-in hybrid and the T-REX from Campagna. More recently, scooter manufacturers have embraced the wide-track stability, braking power and cornering prowess of the two at the front/one at the rear configuration with the release of models like the Piaggio MP3 . While many designs are still in prototype phase, it seems certain that the three-wheeled footprint will become an increasingly familiar site on the road with the latest example to cross our desk - the striking tandem seat F3 Adrenaline from San Diego based TriRod Motorcycles - now accepting reservations ahead of a Q2 2008 release. |

So, there you are, hurtling down the main strait at Silverstone heading into a hard right turn at around 190 mph, and Jean Todt comes on the radio and says that Luca would like you to step up the pace a little. |
