MINI Gets Personal
For roughly the next two weeks, MINI has placed a photo box on Kurfürstendamm in Berlin where passersby are encouraged to pop in, select a car model and don one of four brightly-coloured headphones. The image taken is immediately projected onto Germany’s biggest video screen, granting instant fame to participants. No worries if you’re not physically in Germany, technology is so advanced now that you can use your webcam to get in on the action. And for those who want more than just vanity, participation offers up the chance to win your own custom MINI.
More info on everything, plus the ability to watch a livestream broadcast are here.

The 2011 Acura MDX & Friends
For the past couple weeks I had the opportunity to drive the 2011 Acura MDX. Not one to miss sharing the opportunity, I took friends wherever they needed to go. Normally I’m not a fan of mid-size SUV’s as they tend to drive bigger than they are but, the MDX is different. It drives like a sportscar. What impressed me most about the ride was the blindspot detector, and the entertainment/parking/map console whose screen as one friend put it was “better than my TV at home.” Parallel parking has never been easier.

A lot of nice cars obviously.
