I manageed to saunter on down to the CTIC for the 2014 edition of the Design Indaba, and let me tell you this, my friends: I liked what I saw. I liked it very much. I for one was rather smitten with MIN’s COLOUR ONE installation, and the “Dance Evolution” MINI stand. I absolutely can’t tell you if I twerked, or not.
Last year we gave you the happy news that MINI had released the Paceman into the wild. And thing just got a little hotter. Say, “frozen black metallic limited edition.” Say it again.
It’s time to get stoked! For those of you who believe the thrills provided by the standard Mini Cooper S are not enough – the Mini John Cooper Works is back to hot things up. And we have to say, it’s looking pretty good.
The product range at MINI is diverse, to say the least. That’s why we’ve managed to structure a special deal for those of you desperate to join the MINI family, but are struggling to pull it together. Just listen to this:
The next generation Mini is not only keeping up with the times, its taking giant leaps ahead of them and going big on technology. Take the “Driving Experience Control” switch for instance, with a flick of this switch you can turn your already pimping car into a party-mobile by changing the entire cabin’s colours and turing the footwells into a ‘Mini Disco floor.’

MINI and Monster joined forces to show up Red Bull with the first unassisted backflip completed by a car. And they pulled it off.
For reasons that are not altogether clear, a group of New Zealanders have spent eight weeks teaching two abandoned dogs to drive. The ultimate tast is to have a dog drive a Mini Clubman around a track without human help.
It’s a tricky one, as the number suggests that they might even remove some of the seats or the dashboard. But the thing is, they don’t. It’s a standard MINI Cooper, with all the normal fittings. Guess how many they managed to fit?
You gotta love built-in internet radio. There I was off to a fresh start this morning., tuned in to New York’s number one talk radio station, WNYC, listening to Mitt Romney’s concession speech – LIVE, as it happened. Shouldn’t that be normal?

The Vida parking lot. The school parking lot. That side road next to Caprice. Essentially the natural habitat of the modern-day Mini, which just doesn’t seem suited to barrelling down a dirt road in Sardinia on a Sunday, with some Finnish guy at the wheel. But back in the day, the Mini was a giant slayer in World Rally, and it’s back.
