A Mini with even LESS legroom
Posted by Jeff in mini, music, toy cars, vinyl records
Remember how incredibly lame those Japanese musical roads turned out to be? Well, your antidote has arrived. An LP box set examined by Boing Boing today comes with a little battery operated Mini that drives around the record’s tracks and plays the audio through the onboard speaker.
Awesome right? Of course, it’s probably going to sound like tinny crap, but face it: you’re not making a big show out of vinyl records for the sound.
The “Vinyl Killer” cars actually aren’t new, but it’s the first time they’ve shrunk it into an oh-so-trendy Mini. The car is available without the random LPs for the low low price of 9800 yen, or about ninety bucks. No word on how much eighth-inch rims cost.
