It makes sense that MINI, makers of the beloved Cooper mini-rocket, are jumping into the scooter pool — and making them electric. Electric scooters are set to become a huge worldwide market, and MINI has the pedigree, BMW quality engineering and brand clout to be taken seriously. Set to debut three versions of its new […]

What you're missing if you do not live in Paris
UPDATE: If you want to see more of the exhibit, Flavorwire has a nice gallery to peruse. A beautiful peek at the current Takashi Murakami exhibit at Chateau de Versailles by OFIVE.TV. Very well shot, plus the soundtrack by Air doesn’t hurt…

Built to celebrate 100 years of beauty
As a child all my dad drove were Alfa Romeos — 2 GTV Veloces and an old ‘68 GTV 1750. To this day magical memories of those beautiful Italian lines make me teary eyed. I’m not exactly sure what mesmerized me so — maybe it was the blood red finish, maybe it was the euphonic […]
