MINI Countryman Delayed…
Comments Off
Everyone is getting ready for the Mini Countryman but everyone is going to have to wait, according to a report by those Mini-mad folks at Motoring File. The holdup is the upcoming BMW X3, which is BMW’s foremost concern right now as the little crossover is practically as important to BMW as a Euro print plate is to the European Central Bank.
The Mini will be produced at Magna’s plant in Austria, but first BMW has to complete the shift in X3 production from that plant to its facility in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Until that’s done, Countryman production can’t begin. That has observers figuring that the production Mini crossover won’t meet the public until next year’s Geneva show, instead of Detroit.
The other Countryman-related news is that, like SH-AWD and Quattro and Symmetrical AWD, Mini plans on a specific brand for its flavor of all-wheel drive. The name is said to be “All4.” Yes, our minds are already agog at the ways in which Mini will be spinning that little moniker…

MINI USB Stick Is Novel, But Overpriced!
Comments Off
We’ve seen a number of novelty USB sticks in our time, but this one is pretty sweet. Remember those dinky little cast-metal toy cars your little brother/you had when you were five? You can get one now, but with a USB stick – so you have an excuse to own it.
Based on the famous Mini Cooper car, the Mini Cooper USB stick comes in different colours or with a snazzy Union Jack design. Minis are 50 years old this year, so it’s a celebratory USB stick, as it were.
The USB flicks out the back and snaps back in when you’re no longer using it. And – eek! – the headlights light up when you have it plugged into the computer.
When the Mini Cooper USB is not plugged into your laptop, you can skid it around your desk, playing toy cars with it, perhaps racing it against your other novelty USB sticks. Your co-workers will love it.
Available from 1gb to 4gb, on www.cooperusb.com for $45
(free international shipping, apparently).
