Yes, please.

I will bring my own theme music and costume. Purrrr....

About the car:
"Can you imagine a luxury supercar, dressed in the finest and most exotic materials on the outside and bearing an extraordinary chassis within? One made with all the experience of a racing brand, evoking a sense of awe and mystery – much like the hidden depths of a beautiful woman’s eyes. Can you imagine the excitement when the object of beauty also reveals a rich heritage?

That, in its essence, sums up the new Spyker C12 Zagato, which espouses the bespoke philosophy in its purest form – and takes your breath away, much like an incredibly beautiful woman. Only 24 reproductions of this exquisite work of art will be made (starting March 2008), which endows the word “exclusive” with a whole new meaning and heightens the pleasure of ownership.

Its proud creators are none other than Spyker and Zagato, two of the world’s most notable automobile manufacturers. Established in 1898 and 1919 respectively, both companies played important roles in the history of motoring and aviation with their advanced and aerodynamic cars.

The birth of the Spyker C12 Zagato marks an emotional return to the years when a car was truly a one-of-a-kind creation, akin to a work of art, and created by expert artisans with little help from machines. The launch of this ultra-exclusive car also celebrates Spyker’s entry into the world of Formula One, which began with its acquisition of the Midland F1 team in September 2006.

Futuristic in design – the brainchild of Zagato’s Norihiko Harada – this coupé is considered the quintessential collector’s car and features several F1-type details: a pointy nose, chimney pot-style air scoops and rain lights. Its all-aluminum construction is reinforced with stainless steel roof rails, which enables it to strike the perfect balance between strength and lightness.

Powered by a 6.0-liter Volkswagen W12 engine, this rear-drive sports car produces 500bhp and can accelerate from 0 to 60mph (0 to 100km) in 3.8s – not bad for a car that weighs 3,197lbs (1,450kg). If one’s courage stands up to the challenge and there’s little risk of being apprehended by the authorities, the Spyker C12 Zagato can be pushed to a topspeed of 193 mph (310km/h) – though only on a very long straight.

Over and above its high-performance capability however, the Spyker C12 Zagato is a celebration of all things luxurious. This is highlighted by its full leather interior, brushed aluminum instrument panel and Chronoswiss instruments by the luxury watchmaker. As with all fine things in life, quality comes at a price. In this case, €495,000 before taxes."

Custom Hidden Passageways

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

Growing up with books like The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, I became obsessed with the lure of secret passageways in houses.

Now there is a company that actually designs such things- bookcases with a secret "book" that acts as a lever, fireplaces with candleabras that, when pulled, reveal a hidden room behind them. Oh my GOD do I find that sexy.

The Creative Engineering team will work with you to custom design just about any configuration of hidden passageways for your home you can think of. Alternately, they have some preconfigured options like dressers with swing out hidden passageways.

Options like fingerprint scanners and other super-cool fantasy faire are all on the menu.

I WANT ONE!!!!!

The CarCapsule

3 people recommended this item

Description

From site:

The CarCapsule is a clear vinyl bubble that seals your car, truck, boat or motorcycle away from the elements and keeps it looking fresh and new. Dust, dirt, moisture and insects are locked out, but a built-in fan circulates filtered air within the bubble to eliminate that musty, damp smell that can ruin your stored car. The super-tough vinyl bubble is made from an anti-static, 10 mil PVC. The durable zipper is 100% nylon, so it won’t scratch your vehicle. The CarCapsule is impervious to oil, gas and antifreeze and is mildew resistant and flame retardant. Available in seven sizes to fit most any car, truck, boat or motorcycle. (via thegreenhead)
