Ello, I was bored earlier and was browsing through the gossip of TMZ.com and I came across an article with a photograph of James Blunt and his cooper.

Electric cooper, shown here

 

Not a fan of James Blunt....

 

Electric Cooper? i wouldnt mind driving one of those to work everyday, making my MCS my weekend car!!

 

great music...but apparently poor car modifying taste...check out that gas cap...ack!

 

I have never heard of this James Blunt character

 

I thought a blunt was something that Snoop smoked.

 

The gas cap change probably has to do with the fact that it's an electric car...

 

He ran over a paparazzo? Good for him! One less bottom feeding crap tosser is always a good thing.

Not that I have any feelings about that or anything...

 

Yes, those electric cars require a special 'gas' cap to keep the electrons from splashing out.

Zip

 

I cannot stand his "hit".

So very annoying. When it happens to come onto the radio, I can't hit the buttons to change the station fast enough!

I don't know why, but part of me is disappointed that he drives a MINI. I guess my personal feelings about his music are to blame.

 

so is the hood scoop functional?

 

an electric MINI sounds interesting, but I think I will holdout until this one becomes available:

Crap

 

I think it was worse when Britney was driving one. This guy I can deal with.

 

True - I actually thought his album had the highest "good song / filler crap" ratio I've heard in a long time. After buying the album, I've realized that the song that gets all the radio airplay ("You're Beautiful") is only my third or fourth favourite from the album, and there really isn't anything on the album that I don't like.

I like "Goodbye My Lover" much more than "You're Beautiful" or "High", and it's kind of interesting that it was recorded in actress Carrie Fisher's bathroom.

Also kind of cool that Blunt was a British army officer before hitting it big with his music.

 

Looks like Popular Mechanics got to test out the Hybrid Mini

Looks pretty impressive, though a price tag that is 100% over the cost of a gasoline version is kinda spendy...
