How cool is this? A 1:48 scale replica of an actual Mini that doubles as a USB memory stick.
Vavolo are the brains behind the neat little gadget which are due to hits stores in a couple of months. Not sure of the exact specifications, but you can expect the USB flash memory to hold thousands of files, images and MP3s.
The Mini USB will be available in several “models” including the retro Austin Mini, a rally Mini and a Mini police car. Vavolo have included lots of detail in the tiny cars; even the headlights light up when you plug the drive into your laptop/computer.
Great idea. I’ll be looking for these in the stores in a couple of months…
For months and months I haven’t been able to print from Microsoft Outlook; most annoying. Every time I clicked the print icon I’d get an annoying script error just like the one on the left (click for enlarged view).
Yesterday, after much searching on the Microsoft web site, I finally found a solution. I’m posting what I found just in case it helps anyone else with a similar problem:
1. Go to Start | Run, type regsvr32 ole32.dll and click OK.
2. Open an email in Outlook. Click Print and the annoying script error should have magically disappeared.

On the bottom of the VW is a needle and the Bus features a battery-powered speaker in the back.
Available in several eye-catching colors. Which one will you buy?
Take a look at the SoundWagon in action in the following YouTube video. I want one….
Gary Cooper, a Hampton, Virginia truck driver, is probably the owner of the most apt personalized license plate on the roads today.
Cooper said the new plate on his Mini Cooper reads “KMA OPEC,” which is an invitation for the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to kiss his posterior.
I have been thinking about doing something to protest gas prices and I just decided to do it. I got fed up.
Cooper said the positive responses he’s received have been overwhelming:
People are honking the horn, laughing, and throwing thumbs up … I love it.”
Classic story; I love it! What’s the funniest license plate you’ve seen on the roads?
The rules were simple; just use their cool search tool to discover the worst eBay misspelling you can find.
Always up for a challenge, I unearthed several good ones (Tigger Woods, Reebbok and Nilke running shoes, a Modonna CD and a nice Indiana Jonnes poster) and left comments on the competition blog with my entries.
Guess what? I received an email today saying I was one of the two winners and my prize was a $25 eBay gift certificate. Fantastic! Not quite enough to buy my VW Type 2 Bus, but it’s a start
The most number of people I’ve had in my MINI has been the traditional two in the front, three in the back (and even the three in the back was a squeeze!)
Check out the following video broadcast on television to an audience, where the final couple of people had to be squeezed into the boot/trunk of the car.
I challenge you to take a guess, leave a comment and then watch the video……
