Let everybody join us to wish our favorite little car a very Happy Birthday! Yes, it is today that Mini completes its 50th birth anniversary. And to mark the occasion, the makers and the revivers of this premium brand BMW has decided to release the Mini Coupé Concept. This new ideology too is based on the iconic hatchback that cuts into a very slick silhouette. It still has only room for two and none’s complaining, after all isn’t that supposed to add to the charm of this wonderful toy car!
As of now, the Mini Coupé Concept is only a show car and will be officially unveiled at the Frankfurt show next month. If the buzz is to be believed, then this car too might become a reality and see the light of the day.

Titanic is one ship that has left its indelible mark in history as well as in our minds. Perhaps, that is why folks are forever trying to recreate its magic with film and the documentaries. However, none has ventured into the fields that RMS Titanic comes from. This one is reproduction of the grand boat at a scale of 1:50. Some close to 400 man-hours were spent in assembling this 6-foot beauty that comes with a remote control.
The makers reveal that 300 individually handcrafted pieces like sculpted cedar strips, white maple planks and mahogany superstructures have been put together. A lot of attention and care has gone in to keeping up with the minutest detail of the original Titanic that sailed in 1912.

MINI, Airstream, and Republic of Fritz Hansen have created the MINI Airstream Combo. It has been inspired by the classic American trailer and it comes with cool wood, accents and upholstery. The interiors are tastefully designed and the all the details seem to suggest that it is made for the beach.
In fact, MiniSpace has launched a contest for people to let them know what and how they would do things they would, if they had this design with them. While it is not clear if the design is going on sale, it is quite clear that these furnishings and trappings can be a great success if used in a trailer.
