So I was browsing through the Think Geek site today seeing all the new swag they had and came across this.
IR Watch Controlled MINI
Tiny Die Cast MINI thats remote controlled via a watch. Apparently it even makes engine noises when you start it up.

 

I have one. It is Yellow. It is IR, not radio controlled, so you have to stay pretty close to it. It also has an alarm that will go off if you pick it up when it is set. My wife got it for ma for xmas, this that it would satiate my desire for a real MINI.....it only fanned the flames! Now I take delivery of my '05 MCS on Friday!

 

A friend of mine bought one for me in Germany and brought it. It is quite excellent. The brake light and headlight turn on depending on which direction you go. when you stop, the brakes screech and when it's just standing you hear the engine idling. pretty cool.

 

We got one of these at the county fair last year for $20. The neighborhood kids love it, but our little dogs run away from it!

 

Our cats and I had fun with this. Read the story HERE.
