MMM: Not So Dinky

Lorenzo Quinn’s “Vroom Vroom”, currently installed on Park Lane in London (where all the big-nob dealers hang out). That’s a real Fiat 500.

Halcyon Gallery: The four-metre high sculpture consists of a vintage Fiat 500, the first car that the sculptor ever bought, grasped by an oversized aluminium child’s hand modelled from Quinn’s son.

MMM: Dakar 2011 Pics

From the Boston Globe Big Picture, make sure you click through to the rest. Sadly the Big Picture editor has left for The Atlantic, hopefully the Globe will get some equally talented to pick up where he left off, and we’ll have two feeds of fab photos!

MMM: Lexus Carbon Fibre Loom

You may have seen this before, Lexus pulled it some time ago and just re-released it.

I love it when something that looks like sci-fi is actually real. :)

MMM: Audi Quattro Concept

Gorgeous. Audi has been a bit blah of late, and the neverending quest to out-over-overmodel the other germans is getting a bit tiresome, but by gum they got this one right. It’s like they took the perfect original and just brought it up to date.

MMM: Hennessey Venom in Leno’s Garage

This thing has twin turbo 6.2l LS9 V8 shoehorned into a stretched Lotus Exige body, it runs 1000hp at the wheels on pump petrol, and it sounds terrifying. It sounds like it’d wait outside the track for one of those evil-sounding McLaren Mercs, and beat the snot out of it. I’d like to put one in my (imaginary) garage alongside a similarly Lotus-bodied Tesla Roadster, and watch the Tesla soil itself.
