EYE CANDY // MINI COOPER

This weeks Eye Candy comes courtesy of Fafe, Portugal native, David Guimaraes. In keeping with our recent theme of fuel efficient fun, the Mini Cooper is the earliest example we could think of. Seeing as how our editor's mother has been flogging the new Cooper 'S' for about two years now, and having had the opportunity to do a bit of flogging in it myself, I have to say I prefer the vintage variety. Simple, economical, small, fun, how can you go wrong. Now, before you click send on the hate mail, don't get me wrong, the new Cooper 'S' is great. BMW built, loads of power, nice fancy things like power windows, it's just missing a little something, can't quite put my finger on it. Not to digress to far, the above picture is but one example of Mr.Guimaraes' fine photographic work, so click here for more of his automotive shots, or click the above image. Until next time // 08.17.2008
