Having a number plate that is specifically designed the way you want them in terms of what goes on the board is a bug deal and many people go out of their way to get one that they want. To have the initials that you want and to be the first one in that series is indeed a big deal and that is what was proved by the auctions of some very special number plates by the UK car registration agency. The 1 RH plate went for a whooping £247,652 and the other number plates also went for a lot and reaped in some rich bounty of the municipal authorities.

The MINI Cooper S is surely the car of the young and the restless with its superb design and a performance that matches the style. The 1.6 liter powered car accelerates from 0 to 100 in just 7.1 seconds and has a top speed of very impressive 225 km/h. Yet, it was not a package that was satisfying to designer and artist Marco Mehne and so he set about altering the Mini Cooper S to suit his style. So he created the MINI Cooper S in space-frame style with 20 hand paint jobs, three finishes and 40,000 Swarovski crystals to adorn its surface.

The new MINI thus created is a show in grand spectacle and a work of art that is subtle and stylish. The car had plenty of input put into it by Marco and his creative team and painting on such a space-frame styled body was far more difficult than imagined. Yet Marco put in time, effort and plenty of creativity to convert this into a moving work of art. The 40,000 Swarovski crystals that it sports further add to the bling of this special car.

The car is all set to make its grand debut and steal the spotlight at a VIP event on the opening of the fair Heim + Handwerk, 28 November 2008 in Munich. There is no doubt that when Marco’s work steps out in front of all, it will be the star of the show. This might one day go away in an auction for plenty, but the art work put on it is simply priceless!

If someone wanted to call the Scythe a giant ‘Hot Wheels’ replica, then I would have absolutely no problem endorsing that view. Despite all the hoopla around it and the amount of time, energy and money invested by the folk at GAS, this still looks like an over-grown toy car with no real look and personality. If it has any personality, then it seems more hideous than nice. The Scythe sports a handmade composite body and voice-activated on-board computer system and a twin-supercharged 1,005 horsepower engine. It even has two steering wheels and that seems to make all the wonderful features more odd.

Cars like Lamborghini, Aston Martin and Bentley have an aura of their own that is quite unique and different from the conventional cars like the BMWs and the McLarens. The 2006 Bentley Continental GT Mulliner is up for grabs and this one is just available for mere $143,000. That is pretty cheap bargain considering that the car is just a year old, has not really done many miles and is without a single scratch or even a dent. Being sold off by its owner based in Los Angeles, California, the car seems in as good a condition as it could be after a year. Sparkling hot red cars are simply irresistible and when the picture includes a red hot blond… you just get a bit hot under the collar.
