MINI Clubman

It seems a bit churlish to complain that a car called ‘MINI’ lacks interior space, but despite the plentiful plaudits garnered by the BMW-sired machine, legroom is the one persistent bugbear.
Happily, there was historical precedent for something slightly larger. While the wooden frame of the original Morris Mini Traveller of 1960 wasn’t up to modern safety standards (although we admired Italian coachbuilder Carrozzeria Castagna’s efforts to recreate it), the new Clubman adds a split tailgate, plus a single rear-hinged door to help your (longer-limbed) passengers clamber into the rear.
The extra inches make the car a more practical proposition without hampering the MINI's spirited handling - and you’ll be pleased to hear the Clubman comes in top spec Cooper S trim as well as the standard Cooper and diesel variants.

Rendez vous de mois: DAVID GANDY

David Gandy, born in 1980 in Billericay, Essex, is a British model of Scottish descent, best known for his advert for Dolce & Gabbana's fragrance "Light Blue "

Gandy is the object of lust to a whole nation of women and gay men, thanks to a memorable appearance in a perfume advert wearing little more than a tiny pair of white pants. The ad for designer brand Dolce & Gabbana’s latest aftershave Light Blue shows an extremely provocative close-up shot of David in the skimpy briefs as he gives the camera his best seductive stare.
The 6ft 2in hunk is not that new, as he started modeling in 2001 for London agency Select, and featured prominently in D&G's 2006 campaigns.

It was friends who got him into modeling, by posting his photograph to a "Male Model competition". At the time, he had a job delivering cars to a car magazine – a nice but undemanding gig that ended when he won the contest. He was taken on by Select Model Management, one of the country’s leading agencies, and spent the next five years toiling away in relative obscurity, doing catalogue work.
Soon after Gandy can be seen sulking in the pages of numerous magazines as he fronts campaigns for Zara, a 50ft. billboard in Times Square and a front cover of L'Optimun, just to mention a few.

12 CONTAINER house

For some time, designers, architects and builders all over the world have tinkered with the idea of turning excess standard shipping containers into living quarters. Some of the incarnations of the lowly metal box are downright chic, including artist-architect Adam Kalkin’s Quik House for which he apparently has more orders than he can handle.

Kalkin’s concepts have proven to be adaptable to many circumstances. His company has developed container-unit projects for everything from disaster-relief housing to luxury dwellings
