iPhone app: "Toy Car" uses MINI as basis

Not much more to say... if you're an iPhone app user, or even if you're not but want to see, go to the iTunes store and search for "Toy Car"

The description:
Toy Car (Binary Disco Limited)

This App is a fun virtual Toy Car featuring fun graphics, surprising features, and realistic sounds.

Toy Car is powered by a 'virtual friction motor'. To launch your car, move your iPhone in a circular motion (hold tight!), as you would for a real friction car, and hear the engine revs build. As soon as you 'release' the car, it will sound as if it is running along the floor - it sounds just like the real thing!

Touch different parts of the car to discover features (e.g. touch the windshield to activate the wipers).

Features

- "Roll and Go" - realistic 'friction motor' sound (just add wheels!)
- Working horn
- Working headlights
- Working windshield wipers
- Working turn signals

Toy Car is not an officially licensed product of any vehicle manufacturer.

[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]My brother came home from London for his vacation and gave me a radio-controlled toy car as a present. I have never seen anything like that before! What a speed! And what maneuvering performance! It looks like a real race car and there is a figure of the driver inside. And my brother brought an identical toy car for himself; the only difference is that his is red and a bit smaller in size. We are holding toy car races every day. On the packaging box, we found the name of the manufacturer - the company Manuflex Group and reference to their website www.manuflexgroup.com – maybe, next time he will give me a toy boat from their website for a present?
