Bike made out of recycled Plastic Frii

“Frii” Concept Plastic Bicycle – I wouldn’t Take It for Free

Bike made out of recycled Plastic Frii

Alright, I’m all for that environmentally friendly mumbo jumbo talk but only to a certain extent. Sometimes these folks let their creative juices over flow and take things too far. How far you ask? Well, allow me to introduce you to the “Frii” Concept Bicycle that is made out of recycled plastic.

This is the creation of a design student, Dror Peleg, over at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem. I give him an “A” for the idea and his spirit and dedication to be part of the solution to the overflowing landfills. But he gets a “D” if not “F” on the design of the Frii Concept Bicycle. Instead of using 3D printing technology, Peleg opted out for the injection molding which is widespread in Israel. Injection molding is widely used to make outdoor furniture (tables, chairs) to things such as storage units.

Triumph Tiger Explorer XC 2013

Triumph Tiger Explorer XC

“…that’s not a knife,… that’s a knife…” (Crocodile Dundee reference) is what popped in my head when I saw a picture of the all-new Triumph Tiger Explorer XC 2013 motorcycle.  The “XC” is based on a regular Tiger Explorer but with added bits and pieces which make it look tough and worthy of the aforementioned Crocodile Dundee reference.

Normally I prefer to ride and write about sports bikes but that Triumph Tiger Explorer XC is such a cool looking off-road adventure bike, I just had to share it with our viewers.  I can see this bike featured in “around the world…” type adventure documentaries.

World's First Underwater Aircraft

Necker Nymph – World’s First Underwater Aircraft

World's First Underwater Aircraft

There are very few guys out there that can be considered a finished man. Besides Jonathan Goldsmith, the most interesting man in the world, I would say that Sir Richard Branson comes in at a close second. Branson has pretty much done it all and is one of the richest people in the world. He has spent plenty of money on commercializing space flight, completed ridiculous across the world adventures, and now he is ready to conquer the sea.

His company has designed a catamaran called the Necker Belle which happens to be one of the fastest on the water. The cool thing about the Necker Belle is that it boasts the world’s first underwater aircraft dubbed as the Necker Nymph.  The Necker Nymph is a three-person aero-submarine capable of diving down to a depth of 30 meters to explore the deep without using any human power.

Intermeccanica 356 Speedster Black and White

Intermeccanica Custom Coach Builders

…Vancouver’s hidden gem.  Over the last few years I’ve seen quite a few Intermeccanica cars on the road, I knew they were based on the Porsche 356 Roadsters, but wasn’t sure who made them, and never really looked into the company until I saw them featured on a car show. Shortly after that, I met the owner, Henry Reisner, at the Vancouver International Auto Show.  The company was actually located right in my backyard (not literally).  They were located in Vancouver, Canada and in an area I visited quite often (the company has since moved to New Westminster, BC Canada – even closer to the Unfinished Man headquarters).

2013 MINI Cooper Paceman e1347866758811

All-New 2013 MINI Cooper Paceman

I didn’t think it was possible to come up with another variant of the MINI but here we are once again with a new model. This time, it’s the 2013 MINI Paceman, which is basically the coupe version of the MINI Countryman. Not including the special editions, the 2013 Paceman is the eighth variant of the MINI Cooper. The MINI Paceman Concept originally made its debut back in 2011 at the Detroit Motor Show.

The 2013 MINI Paceman is about an inch shorter in length compared to the MINI Countryman. The vehicle also has a lower roof height by 31mm and ride height is lowered by 10mm which helps in giving it a sportier look and feel.  The designs of the Countryman and Paceman are similar but the new model receives longer front doors, more muscular rear fenders, and completely different taillights to differentiate the models.
