Puma Does it Proper

[Via the Guys at  Electro^Plankton]

My friends know I am a sucker for a nice piece of luggage.  The Puma Urban Mobility Bag looks like it might be worth the splurge.  According to Electro^Plankton ...

"Only 600 of these bags will be made. The shell is made from premium leather and features a wood plank on the bottom with the Puma logo die-cut. The bag also comes with 2 smaller bags to hold your toiletries. No pricing yet but they go on sale worldwide at Puma and high end department stores in July. "

Virgin Gorillaz Train

Gorillaztrain4_2Saw this on Cool Hunting today.  Not the usual same-old train wrapping stunt.  This looks very cool.

"This is how public transport should be done. Unveiled Monday and travelling back and forth between London and Manchester, this tricked-out locomotive from Gorillaz aritst Jamie Hewlett is to promote the forthcoming circus/opera he's involved with called Monkey: Journey To The West . It's based on an ancient Chinese legend and the music has been composed by Hewlett's partner in the cartoon band, Damon Albarn. The show kicks off this year's Manchester International Festival which runs 28 June - 15 July 2007. Click here for more info on the festival."

Spyker Super SUV

I know nothing about cars [which ironically isn't stopping me fromgoing to pick up my new car in about 6 hours from now].  I don't follow the industry, I don't get a lot of the terminology, and frankly I've just never been a gear-head.  But when I saw a picture of the Spyker SUV [official name D12 Peking-to-Paris] in Details even I paused.  Proto below.  Production models due late 2007.

0-60 in 5 seconds
