    Pet Mini



    This pretty Mini was developed from the idea of Swiss department PR-director Claudine Hatebur de Calderon. When she knew about preparing New Spaces exhibition, she decided to do something special, something that the visitors could feel.
    Then she inquired to Bisazza - the Italian design company. They took an ordinary Mini and decorated it with cow leather. Five leather pieces were necessary to perform a work.

    I dunno, I think it looks really tacky.

    This reminds me of the special Mustang (forgot which one) where an Italian firm completely restyled it. I think the exterior looked great but when you look at the interior with the horse hides and stuff. That ruined it, and the cow hides ruin this Mini too.

    I did like it, too, though at pics it was almost hideous.

    Ah... nothing like killing animals to make our rides look better.

    I'll be right back... theres a cow down the road, that would look good decorated on my car.

    Yeah, that one.

    I don't like the interior leather design. I prefer it just plain black.

    So much simpler that way.
