But back to now, I'm sure you will like it. It's built from carbon fibre, it has some interesting features like the rear doors are hinged at the back that four wide opening doors for easy entrance and egress. The trunk functioned as a pull out drawer instead of a lift up lid.

Off the Course Golf Club Umbrella

The Off the Course Golf Club Umbrella($65) is a umbrella with golf club handle and iron head. In the rain day, I can play golf in the office, haha. Inspired by designer Sebastian Errazuriz's rainy day golf outings. While living in Scotland, he and his friends often found themselves carrying golf clubs and umbrellas simultaneously, which struck inspiration in the young designer. Made of steel, fiberglass, polyester, and rubber.
"This product is an umbrella and should not be used as a golf club."

The LEGO Group and Brickstructures Inc. have just unveiled a new product line called LEGO Architecture. The LEGO Group and Adam Reed Tucker of Brickstructures officially introduced the LEGO Architecture line in 2008. The line currently consists of six buildings ¨C now including two of Frank Lloyd Wright's most famous and recognizable buildings, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Fallingwater.
With models developed in collaboration with architects, LEGO Architecture works to inspire future architects, engineers and designers as well as architecture fans around the world with the LEGO brick as a medium. Builders of all ages can now collect and construct their favorite worldwide architectural sites through these artistic replicas.
"As an Architectural Artist my desire is to capture the essence of a particular landmark into its pure sculptural form. I first and foremost do not view my models as literal replicas, but rather my own artistic interpretations that harness the landmarks overall appeal. Beyond its identity as a toy, The LEGO Brick is not initially thought of as a material typically used in creating art or used as an artist's medium. It is the pure sculptural form that I have translated from reality using The LEGO Brick.-- Adam Tucker"
