59 craftsmen from the Bentley factory in Crewe have worked towards a project to benefit cancer research and created a double Decker bus that us a rolling vehicle for community service and public awareness.

Aston Martin DBR1 race car is a legendary car that won many prizes like the Le Mans and also the World Sportscar Championships in 1959. Here are some cool TMB’s exclusive Aston Martin DBR1/2 Essence of Form links which not only look good but are also made using the original aluminium parts. The car was driven by Carroll Shelby who was victorious in 1959.
The cufflinks are made of solid 18 carat gold and just 50 pairs would be available worldwide. They cost about $3000 each and are some of the most expensive cufflinks to be ever manufactured. Aston Martin itself is one of the most cars in the world and will cost up to $25 million. I would so love to get it for myself but I can certainly not afford something so expensive as this.

Guerlain Idylle Baccarat Edition is a fragrant sculpture which has been created by Ora Ito. It comes with a flacon which is smeared with gold and the stopper is made of 18 carat gold. It is seated in a bubble made of luxurious Baccarat crystal.
There is also the Idylle Baccarat which is a limited edition piece and comes with lacquered coffret and costs 30,000 Euros. If your perfume bottle looked like this, who would not buy? The heavy price tag can actually buy a luxurious car but if you overlook that fact, I guess it is still a good and great idea to be buying this. I would so love to get it for myself but it is almost heartrendingly expensive.

Swedish designer Jonas Rylander and Michael Hollesen for a company called Klutz Design have designed the ballerina Sweetspot, which is an audiophile listening chair that is being touted as a revolutionary product for those who love music.
The user must certainly be rich as the chair costs $8000 and it is a simple chair with arm rests but it avoids rear reflections, comes with a low back and the feet absorb vibration. It is an awesome gift to people who love music and it would be available in early 2010. The chair looks chic, stylish and it would be a great addition to the living space and it does not damage the decor.

Sometimes all we need is a vehicle to transport us from one place to the other. However, we always find ourselves complain about the lack of creativity in the vehicles we see every day. The Voltra Electric Motorcycle has been created after a large body of research was done about the history of motorcycling, technology and also biking culture and its place in the society.
With that in mind, Voltra is something unique and that appeals to everyone instantly. Thanks to its electric fuel, it would be green and clean. Thanks to its great design and appealing looks, it would appeal to the fashion conscious as well. Imagine if you could go ahead and ride on a bike that looked like this! It is always cool to be comfortable with the vehicle that we have.

If you thought your child had to carry heavy bags to school with all those books, you would most certainly be coming from one of the Asian or African countries. In these countries, children are made to carry heavy books and this results in strained muscles and hurt bones.
Thus the Smart Bag is an awesome design by a Malaysian which addresses this problem. It is made from a lightweight material and comes with trolleys etc which help the child to pull the bag if it becomes too heavy. storage compartments for files, books, stationery and water bottles make it an attractive bag and even children would love it as they can carry so many books all at once.

Much as I dislike seafood, most people swear by the aromas and tastes of various sea creatures. Most coastal regions have a tradition of consuming seafood in abundance and even inland people consume fish and other animals if there is a river nearby.
In fact some people are so crazy about seafood that they travel thousands of miles to taste exotic fish and crustaceans. Now, if you are ready to spend £2500, you would be able to savour the world’s most expensive seafood hamper. The Caviar and Crustacean Atomic Hamper can feed a party of 30 people and each person’s platter would cost £70.

Well from what it looks like, the dogs are having quite a fair share of luxury days. First, it was the rather extravagant dog case by Marc Jacobs that had the Richie Richs in rapt attention for who doesn’t like to pamper their pooches. But now, we have yet again stumbled upon another little treat for the furry beasts we love so much. Vancouver just got its first ever luxury retailer and wellness center for dogs. Called the Pet Shop Boys (a name, by the way, we love), this one is situated at Cambie Street. Nope these fellas have nothing to do with the music duo. Instead, this 15 square foot boutique might just offer you anything and everything that you were trying to give to your best friend.
There is quite an impressive range of high-end services for your doggie. Some of them include hydrotherapy massage, reiki massages as well as a rather unique psychic consultation to allow your pooch to connect with you on an entirely new level. Wow, we sure wanna see that happen!

There is nothing better than a warm and sensual shower to shake the winter blues away. If you have a companion, it is all the much better. However, when the shower is the same old boring, it can kill all the fun. All you would need to do is get yourself a cool shower system like the Perfect Shower which has been launched by Hansa.
It is called the Smart Shower and it comes with three shower heads, which when integrated into your bathroom, you could turn it into a steamy playground, literally. The Smart Shower comes with gentle showers, cascades and body spray functions and each one is better than the other. This luxurious shower can now be ordered from the Hansa website.

Wars have always taken lives of many innocent men, women and children. The instruments of wars have always been men too, and these foot soldiers and the cavaliers or the horse riders bore the brunt of violence more than the civilians. During the World War I most men sent to fight wars died almost within a week of joining the army in the trenches. Many Australians too fought in the war, and thousands of Australian youth were sent to European trenches where they died within weeks of arrival.
The novel “Fly Away Peter” is a tale that follows the life of Jim, an ornithologist who goes to fight in the World War I in France. He dies. Alan Somerville is an Australian sculptor who has created the Light Horse Soldier sculpture in bronze. These horsemen from Australia fought in the Middle East as well, where they died of exhaustion and violence.
