5 Ways to Style in a Mini Cooper

October 3, 2012 /

Many younger people do not know much about the Mini Cooper’s history. In addition to being a top-selling automobile since the middle of the 20th century, the Mini Cooper’s legacy is partially tied to its racing history. While most auto teams focused on improving their engine sizes, Mini Cooper drivers instead focused on the light weight and great cornering the Mini provided. In the middle of the 1960, the Mini Cooper dominated the Monte Carlo Rally, winning the race from 1964 until 1967. Its success changed how people envision cars. Today, the retro look of the Mini Cooper stands out among other vehicles. Here are a few ideas for styling a Mini Cooper.

  1. Retro elements: Retro is always in, and those who emphasize the retro aspects of their Mini Coopers will find that their tweaks never go out of style. Homemade items were popular in the sixties, so a knit steering wheel cover will look great in a Mini Cooper. Consider hanging a peace sign, the leading symbol of the 1960s, from the rear-view mirror or elsewhere. The 1960s happy face will also remind people of the era and emphasize what the Mini Cooper should be: a happy, fun car. Particularly ambitious drivers can even consider painting flowers and other elements of 1960s style for an extreme look.
  2. Racing heritage: The Mini Cooper’s racing heritage is legendary, and symbols of this dominance can look great on Minis. Simple, classy racing stripes look great on the Mini’s lines, and new wheels can complete the look. An upgraded exhaust can make the Mini look, drive and sound great as well as serve as a nod to the Mini’s history. Bold drivers may even consider painting their favorite number of the side of their car.
  3. Focus on the interior: Some love the standard look of their Minis, but there are options for styling for them as well. By focusing on the interior, drivers can add fashion cues for themselves and their passengers. Beaded seats are both nostalgic and look great, and a new stereo system is always a worthy, stylish upgrade. Simple upgrades such as new floor mats and accessories to hang on the rear-view mirror can improve the interior look of the car tremendously.
  4. Sophisticated themes: The Mini Cooper is a quirky, fun car. One option more are considering is taking steps to make the Mini a more sophisticated, stately vehicle. A simple black or white paint job paired with tinted windows can transform the Mini from a fun car to one that can even be a bit intimidating. While some scoff at this notion, it is possible to match the more serious look of the Fiat 500 in a car with a slightly larger footprint.
  5. Extreme styling: While most people will stick with relatively minor style upgrades, some people prefer to radically transform their cars. For these people, the Mini Cooper is a great option. Its lines and simple structure makes it a great platform for extreme car design, and Mini Coopers have been transformed into a number of different looks. If the goal is to transform a car into a bug, a dog, a cat or anything else, the Mini Cooper is a great model to use.

The Mini Cooper sells well around the world. With the increased attention dedicated to vehicles that do not negatively affect the environment, the Mini Cooper is positioned to take see increased sales. Those who like to style their cars will find it is a great option.

The Ultimate Bachelor Pad

October 1, 2012 /

Looking for a way to get the ultimate bachelor pad? Then you’ve come to the right place. If you’re serious about turning your dwellings into a full-on den of decadence then the first thing you’re going to need is some bar stools and a bar. It may sound like a lot of effort, but it will pay off big time when your flat becomes Party Central for you and your mates.

Imagine: it’s Saturday night and you want to go out. With your own home bar, it’ll quickly be a case of out with the entry fees and in with the beer-on-tap. Sour-faced bouncers and weak lager will haunt you no more, and instead of having to haul your sorry self home at 3am, you’ll be able to blend the simplicity of a cheap night in with the debauchery of a night on the lash – all before retiring to bed in the next room. Perfect.

So, how do you do it? Well, while getting a breakfast bar installed would get you off to a great start, truth be told, they tend to be pretty pricey. Instead of a full bar then, why not try some bar tables? They make for a far cheaper alternative and will really help to perk your place up, in addition to providing you with something for everyone to crowd around once the sun goes down and the booze comes out.

Naturally, you’ll need something to go with your tables and sadly this is one occasion where the sofa is just not going to cut it. Black bar stools, however, are brilliant and absolutely guaranteed to impress your mates. Cutting out all the fuss associated with other kinds of kitchen furniture, they not only look great but they’re practical and easy to use.

Clever gas lift bar stools are particularly likely to come in handy. Most of these are equipped with a lever underneath the seat, which allows you to control its height without even having to get off! 360 degree swivel is another wicked feature and is built to improve ease-of-use, making it easy for you all to mingle.

Far from being one of your typical kitchen accessories, they actually tend to look pretty great. Fancy leather bar stools are ridiculously comfy in addition to great-looking. The fun doesn’t stop in the morning either, and one of the key perks of the whole set-up owes to the fact that your tables and stools will still be with you the next day. After all, there’s nothing quite like a hungover breakfast…

The best thing is that all of this really doesn’t have to cost you a lot, and if you snoop around the internet for long enough, then you’re almost certain to find a great deal on combined purchases. Get to work on the ultimate bachelor pad by grabbing yourself a table and some bar stools now, and you’ll be a hero amongst your mates in no time!

Tips on how to hook up more

September 28, 2012 /

Some guys are looking for a relationship. Some want to just get more hookups, and many guys frankly want both. We’d love to find that one great girl, but we definitely want as many hook-ups as possible along the way.

The first thing to keep in mind is that many women want the same thing. They just go about it in different ways, and every woman is different, so learning observe and listen is critical if you want to have more success.

What I’ve found is that many of the pick-up artists have excellent advice in this area. The key is using a system that works for you, but don’t expect to improve in this area without seeking out helpful advice. Dan Bacon has an excellent strategy that he calls “The Flow” and it’s a simple yet very effective approach that most guys will be able to use.

Of course you can spend your time on adult dating sites, and you’ll find some willing partners after you sift throught the fake profiles, but you’re always better off improving your game so that you can operate in any social setting.
