Ok, so when I was a kid, I found the Beetle to be pretty interesting. (Especially considering that we were driving around in a beat-up 1971 Dodge Dart Swinger!) However, as I became an adult, I really didn't think about them so much.

Then I ran across this E-Bugster video today...

It reminded me of the Rocketman concept car...

(I don't know about the drawer boot, though.)

Both look intriguing. I know there are a lot of people here who are very protective of the original Mini design, but these are interesting, no matter how you decide to define the word. Things both relic and futuristic get my attention.

At any rate, it looks like we really are getting ready to meet George Jestson any day now.
