race car usb memory card reader has flat tires

filed under: gadgets

Most of the USB memory card readers I come across are rather pedestrian. Conversely, this one is rather automotive.

ElectroJoe’s Motor Maniac is a 16-in-1 memory card reader that looks like a (slightly deformed) little red race car. Now it’s anyone’s guess why the wheels are sticking out at a weird angle, but you still get the point that it’s a vehicle…

Austin Mini USB Drive

If you thought the Mini Cooper was small enough already, get a load of these Mini Mini Cooper flash memory devices.

The Mini drives are the latest wacky USB devices to hit the streets. Each one is a 1:48 scale replica of an actual Mini. And just like a real Mini, you won’t be able to fit your luggage in there - but you will be able to store thousands of images, MP3s or a couple of videos…

This thing is just plain gorgeous…
