Mini Cooper Covered In One Million Swarovski Crystals... Is Proud To Be An American?
Who knew an art car (made by two Canadians) made from a Mini Cooper (a British brand name made by a German company) covered in one million Swarovski crystals (a German-founded, Swiss-owned brand) housed at a Ripley's Believe It Or Not museum (in London) could be such an Amerigasm? The "Crystal Car" made by Ken and Annie Burkitt of Ontario, Canada is covered in one million Swarovski lead crystals and displays 10 separate images of American Icons, including the Statue of Liberty, the Hollywood Hills sign and Mt. Rushmore. Believe it, or not America, but this is you. More » -

Best Mini Crossover Shots Yet From Paris Show Floor
Ben smuggled back a couple gigs of additional images from the Paris Motor Show last week, including these shots inside and out of the Mini Crossover Concept.

We'll see what the results are should they make it into showrooms. Press release reproduced after the jump. More »
