Apple still in talks with China Mobile, but in 'no rush' to forge a dealApple and China Mobile, the largest carrier in the world, are "firmly engaged" in discussions, but Apple is said to be in "no rush" to produce a new iPhone compatible with the carrier's 3G network.
Apple has produced TD-SCDMA-based iPhone prototypes to test on China Mobile's network, industry sources have told Shaw Wu of Sterne Agee. And the carrier remains in discussions with Apple about a future deal.
But despite all of that, Apple is apparently not in a hurry to provide the iPhone officially to China Mobile subscribers. Instead, he said, effort is focused on developing a 4G TD-LTE iPhone, so that a future hardware upgrade with high-speed 4G data will be compatible with China Mobile.
The problem stems from China Mobile's proprietary 3G TD-SCDMA network, which would require that Apple build a unique iPhone for compatibility. It's a similar problem in the U.S., where T-Mobile's proprietary 3G GSM network does not work with any of Apple's iPhone models.
Even without an official agreement in place, there are already 10 million unlocked iPhones on China Mobile's network. Those users rely on both Wi-Fi and China Mobile's slower 2G EDGE network for data.
Wu noted that China Mobile has also been enticing iPhone users to use its network by offering free gift card promotions with Wi-Fi service. China Unicom is currently the only official provider of the iPhone in China.
China Mobile remains the largest prize for Apple in terms of carrier partners. The company has more than 611 million subscribers, representing a huge, largely untapped base of customers that Apple has yet to reach.
Even China's other major carrier, China Telecom, is also rumored to get into the mix. Last month one report claimed that China Telecom is expected to gain access to the iPhone around mid-2012.

User Feedback and Product Design
Occasionally people invite me to talk at their conferences, workshops, etc (you can invite me, too). After a recent talk at ATDC, one of the attendees sent this email asking about user feedback.
What are your thoughts on how much user feedback/input should be involved in product UX design and at what point should you seek the feedback? So for example, should the functionality and "polish" be 50% there or 95% there before putting it in front of users or somewhere in between? We want to start collecting user feedback in an alpha release soon, but also don't want to ruin our first impressions from users until it's more polished. It seems like a balancing act of timing.
This is a somewhat common question in conversations I have, so I figured it's a good idea to answer it here.
How much user feedback should be involved in product design?
The easy answer is "as much as possible", but that's not the whole picture. You can go get feedback on your product from dozens of people tomorrow. Just walk out on the street and start asking people questions. You have to be careful, though, and not just because you might get pepper sprayed.
You have to ask the right people.
Before you ask anyone a question about the thing you're building you have to make sure they are the target person your product is for. It's an extreme example, but you wouldn't ask a 23 year woman about a product for 67 year old men. She isn't who the product is for, so why would she have any valuable feedback to give?!
If you don't know who you're designing for, you're doomed to fail from the start. Start by defining your target market, then define personas within that market who define and fit the profile of your ideal customer. Once you've done that you can go find people in the real world who fit that description. There are a handful of ways to find them, most of which are pretty easy and low cost.
Now back to the question…
The sooner you get an initial round of user feedback the better. Just be careful not to ask people about too many things at once. Keep your research very focused. You can ask about the overall aesthetic of the product, OR ask about a specific workflow or feature, but don't ask people too much or the answers will start to skew.
About First Impressions
While it's true that you can't ever get them back, you can't allow yourself to think that one handful of people's first impressions will set the reputation of your product for life. Literally every product you use today started as a crappy drawing on a napkin, paper prototype, or sketch on a whiteboard. Then someone took a photo and started iterating. Slowly the product evolved into the thing you're using today. Having doubts? Have a look at how some popular websites looked at launch.
Ask Early. Ask Often. Vary Your Audience.
Bottom line, ask (the right) people about what you're building as soon as you can. Then get them to come back in a few weeks once you've made some progress and ask them how it works. This is user-centered design and it's proven to work well in a variety of environments.
Don't ask the same people over and over and over! Get different groups of people together (make sure they represent your target market and defined personas) as you build. The more people you can show your product to as you build it, and make them a part of the design process, the more chance you'll have at building a loyal audience for the product once it actually launches.
Happy user testing!

Franz Ferdinand's fateful phaeton
Photo by Volodymyr Osypov.
We've all heard the story: One hundred years ago, on June 28, 1914, looking magisterial in his plumed regalia, Franz Ferdinand, Archduke and heir-apparent to the throne of the ailing Austro-Hungarian Empire, and his wife, Sophie, in her gleaming white dress, parasol hoisted, are moving by car through the streets of Sarajevo on a visit that is part official business and part 14th wedding anniversary.
Accompanied by General Oskar Potiorek, governor of Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Lieutenant Colonel Count Franz von Harrach, owner of the car they are riding in, they are driven by Harrach's chauffeur, Leopold Lojka. Thousands of people line the colorfully decorated Appel Quay as the six-car motorcade rolls past. It is a balmy Sunday.
Gavrilo Princip, just 19 years old, steps toward the car. An idealistic Serbian nationalist, he fires two shots from a pistol, and the Archduke and his wife are dead within moments. During the course of the next four years, more than 16 million people will be killed and more than 20 million will be wounded.
The aftershocks of the "war to end all wars" will lead to World War II, the development of the nuclear bomb, the Cold War and much of the violence in the Middle East. Though most scholars believe that, given the conditions at the time, World War I was largely inevitable – and along with it some form of all that followed – the mythic consciousness of much of humanity still points to the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand as the birthplace of our troubled times.
And it all happened in a car…
The 1910 Gräf & Stift Bois de Boulogne tourer that Count von Harrach had taken delivery of on December 15, 1910, according to some sources, was outfitted with a four-speed transmission and a 32hp 5.8-liter four-cylinder T-head engine, with its cylinders cast in pairs. As builders of motorcars, Gräf & Stift had gotten its start in 1897 when the three Gräf brothers – who like so many pioneering vehicle engineers the world over had been successful in the bicycle business – constructed their first car, a voiturette based on a design by Josef Kainz. That seminal car is especially noteworthy for its front-engine, front-wheel-drive architecture, thought by many to be the first of its kind in the world.
Though Gräf & Stift became known at the time for producing heavier luxury-type automobiles, it was not surprising to find examples of these cars in the wilder hinterlands of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, as the machines made by the Viennese manufacturer were favored by the Imperial leadership right up until its fall in 1918. The company continued to build private cars until 1938, at which point it had already begun producing trucks and buses. Subsequently, mergers and takeovers lead to the gradual digestion of the concern, until "Gräf & Stift" no longer appears in the name of its descendent company, MAN Sonderfahrzeuge AG.

Back on that fateful day, the Gräf & Stift that the Archduke and his wife were riding in had already several times slipped by death unscathed as it traveled along a publicized route to an official reception at the Town Hall. Twice, the entourage had rolled safely past assassins concealed within the crowd, members of Young Bosnia who had been armed with bombs and pistols by the Black Hand – a secret militant organization intent on winning an independent state for the Slavic peoples.
At approximately 10:10 Nedeljko Čabrinović threw a bomb at the Gräf & Stift carrying the Archduke and his wife, either striking the side of the phaeton, as one would-be assassin recounted, or bouncing off the stacked folds of the retracted convertible top, according to another. In any case, the bomb, which had a time delay, fell to the road where it was passed over by the following car in the procession. It exploded, incapacitating the automobile and scattering shrapnel into the bystanders.
Some sources explain that the bomb had missed its mark because of the quick-thinking of chauffeur Leopold Lojka who, having seen something thrown at the car out of the corner of his eye, gunned the throttle and sped them away to safety. Still others report that the Archduke – whose foreign policy, with the benefit of historical hindsight, appears to us now to have been reform-minded and whose personal life even romantic – nobly stepped down from the Gräf & Stift to check on the soldiers who had been wounded in the car behind his.
After this, Lojka delivered his passengers to their destination at the city hall, where they were formally welcomed to Sarajevo and where Ferdinand, only slight ruffled, read his prepared speech. Seemingly confirming the accounts of his chivalrous tendencies, the story goes that afterwards he instructed General Oskar Potiorek that they were to forgo the next stop on the itinerary – their visit to the National Museum – and instead go to the hospital to visit those who had been wounded in the attack.
Again, what exactly happened next/last is a little unclear. Either Potiorek failed to instruct Lojka of the change in plans, or the chauffeur's understanding of the layout of the city was incomplete. Whatever the case, the effect was the Gräf & Stift ended up once again in dangerous territory, and confused. When Lojka learned he had not gone the way the Archduke had wanted, he stopped the car. One could imagine how he felt – like he messed up and like it was entirely up to him to save them from the mortal danger he knew they – along with the entire future of the Empire – was in. Heart racing, Lojka struggled to work the gearbox into reverse while pulling and pulling at the unassisted steering wheel. The weight of the onlookers, of history, squarely on him.

Even though the car's owner, Count von Harrach, had taken up a position on the running board from which he could attempt to shield the noble couple with his body, the seventh assassin did what he had set out to do. Later that day Herbert Sulzbach, a German soldier, wrote in a letter, "You feel that a stone has begun to roll downhill, and that dreadful things may be in store for Europe." Indeed.
Remarkably, perhaps a little ironically, the 1910 Gräf & Stift Bois de Boulogne that the Archduke and his wife were shot in survives. It is on exhibit in the magnificent Heeresgeschichtliches Museum in Wien, Austria.
Photo by Volodymyr Osypov. Notice the chipped paint around the rear above the fender from the shrapnel and the bullet hole just below the hinge point of the convertible top.
And what of Leopold Lojka, the chauffeur? After the tragedy of June 28, 1914, it is said he was instructed to send three telegrams, one to Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph, one to German Emperor Wilhelm II, and–no-doubt especially troubling–one to the Archduke Franz Ferdinand and Sophie's children. He testified at the trials of the Young Bosnia conspirators – several of whom surprisingly not only escaped the death penalty but actually survived the second world war to live long and meaningful lives. Lojka reportedly was discharged from the Army in 1920 and settled down in Czechoslovakia, where he became an innkeeper until his death on July 18, 1926.
Hemmings Find of the Day – the re-return of the Bugazzi
Shortly after this George Barris-customized Bugazzi – itself a coachbuilt version of a 1972 Lincoln – sold at an RM auction in 2009 for $19,800, it then popped up for sale for $59,900. The last nearly five years have been relatively Bugazzi free, but now we see the 1972 Bugazzi for sale on Hemmings.com once again – apparently changed not in the least – and we have to wonder where our old friend has been, and how it's been doing. From the seller's description:
Conceived as an American car built to higher standards and luxury exceeding even that of Rolls-Royce, the Bugazzi was an exercise in ambition and excess. While a contemporary Lincoln Mark IV listed for $8,640 and a new Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow had a base price of about $19,700, the Bugazzi originally sold for the princely sum of $29,500; or enough to buy 15 brand new Ford Pintos in 1972. The Bugazzi is finished in 30-coats of stunning custom, hand-rubbed Pearl lacquer with 24-carat gold leaf hand laid pin striping, interior features include: gold upholstery, Persian rugs, Italian marble, television, built-in bar, and more. This Barris creation was marketed as the finest motorcar in the world to select celebrities such as Danny Thomas, Pia Maria, Enzo Stuarti, and Jack Hennesey just to name a few. With only 12 built and being one of only two known to survive, this unique Bugazzi is among one of the most sought after collectible motorcars of modern times.

Recommended Reading – Bentley, Fifty Years of the Marque
With its focus on one of the world's most prestigious automobile manufacturers, it's not surprising that this book about Bentley automobiles is now in its third edition. Enthusiasts the world over have always respected all that company founder W.O. Bentley had achieved, and long admired the cars that bore his name.
The most interesting aspect of author Johnnie Green's hardcover book is that it isn't just another historical review of an auto company's formation and about those individuals who managed it; rather, it's about the cars themselves, which is very refreshing as that's what we're all mainly interested in.
Among its 322 pages you will discover hundreds of photos of Bentley automobiles. Page after page of nothing but black-and-white photographs showcase nearly all the different models that Bentley produced, as well as all the special coachbuilt bodies that adorned Bentley chassis. Each photograph has its own caption that identifies the car and its coachbuilder, as well other pertinent details, which oftentimes includes the name of the car's first buyer and country that it was shipped to.
The nearly 600 photographs are arranged according to model, beginning with chapter one on the 3 Liter models, followed by the 6-1/2 Liter cars, then the 4-1/2 Liter models, Supercharged 4-1/2 Liter, etc. Other chapters are dedicated to "Vintage Bentley in Action," "Mark V and Corniche" and the "S" and "T" Series models.
For admirers not only of Bentley but of prewar cars in general, as well as big saloons and coachbuilt specials, this is one of those books that you really must have in your library. Because it's mainly all photos and captions, it's an easy read, which is welcoming for those occasions when you don't have a lot of time to read anything too in-depth.
First published in 1969, with subsequent reprints in 1973, 1974 and 1978, and with the Third Edition released in 2003, this is a product of England-based Dalton Watson Fine Books, which it most certainly is.
New copies of some of the earlier versions can still be found and bought for around $50 to $60, with used copies going for about $35. But whatever price you pay, trust me, you will greatly enjoy this book, and quickly find it to be one of the most important - and fascinating – books in your library.
Drogo-bodied Ferrari 330 GT Navarro Special heads to auction
1966 Ferrari 330 GT Navarro Special. Photo by Mike Maez, courtesy Gooding & Company.
Ferraris, by design, are exclusive automobiles, meant to appeal to (almost) all, yet remain beyond the reach of most enthusiast buyers. A great deal of thought has always gone into their styling, but even this exclusivity and refinement isn't enough for some. Italian nightclub owner Norbert Navarro wasn't pleased with the conservative styling of the 1966 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2, so he penned a design of his own and commissioned Carrozzeria Sports Cars in Modena, Italy, to produce it. The result was the unconventional 1966 Ferrari 330 GT Navarro Special, which heads to auction next month at Pebble Beach.
Navarro's car is known by a series of names, including the "Golden Car," both for its paint and for its side logo; the "Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Speciale," perhaps the car's most generic name; and the "Navarro Special NART," for its later association with American Ferrari importer Luigi Chinetti. Though the body may differ radically from a stock 1966 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2, under the skin the two cars are virtually identical. Power comes from a 4.0-liter V-12, rated at 300 horsepower and mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Layout was front engine, rear drive, and a live axle was used in the rear instead of a fully independent suspension. Disc brakes were fitted to all four corners, ensuring that 330 models could scrub off speed as quickly as they could generate it.
The body of the 1966 Ferrari 330 GT Navarro Special has generated more than a bit of controversy over the years, with some questioning why Piero Drogo's shop, Carrozzeria Sports Cars, would even undertake such a project. Drogo died in a 1973 car accident, so his ultimate motivation is lost to history, but it likely comes down to this: As a small coachbuilder, it's never wise to turn away business. Drogo's firm had experience creating new bodies for other Ferrari models, the most renowned of which is likely the 1962 Ferrari 250 GT "Breadvan," which was designed by Bizzarini but built by Drogo.
As for the 330 GT Navarro Special, its over-the-top styling and odd proportions effectively accomplished the mission of making the car stand out from the crowd. Details like the exaggerated rear fins, pronounced front and rear overhangs and broad grille were meant to attract attention, something that the original Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 was not particularly good at.
The Navarro Special's sheer size caught the eye of U.S. importer Luigi Chinetti, who quickly struck a deal with Navarro to purchase the car. Certain its bulk and unusual lines would capture the imagination of potential U.S. buyers, Chinetti imported the car to America, where it passed through a string of owners in the ensuing decades. At one point its gold paint was changed to red, and the Ferrari reportedly fell into a state of disrepair until acquired by its current owner. Now restored to its former glory, Gooding expects the one-off Ferrari to draw a winning bid between $400,000 and $600,000.
Gooding & Company's Pebble Beach sale will take place August 16-17 at the Pebble Beach Equestrian Center. For additional details, visit GoodingCo.com.
De Soto Adventurer II coupe takes People's Choice award at Elegance at Hershey
1954 De Soto Adventurer II. Photos courtesy Jim Butler, unless otherwise noted.
Designed and built by Ghia for Chrysler, the 1954 De Soto Adventurer II had a life that extended far beyond the global auto show circuit. Sold to a dealer in Casablanca, Morocco, the coupe was very nearly acquired by the King of Morocco before finding its way stateside. Once again in private hands after selling for $1.43 million at auction in 2012, the one-of-a-kind Adventurer II, now owned by Paul Gould, was chosen as the People's Choice Award winner at last weekend's The Elegance at Hershey.
Though many view the concepts created by Chrysler and Ghia in the 1950s as a joint effort, Ghia provided both design and construction for several models, including the Adventurer II. Based upon the "Supersonic" design language created by Ghia's Giovanni Savonuzzi and first applied to concepts like the Ghia Fiat 8V Coupe, the lines and dimensions of the Adventurer II were ultimately defined by the 125.5-inch wheelbase De Soto chassis supplied by Chrysler to underpin the car. Like other Ghia concepts, the Adventurer II was roadworthy, and power came from a 276.1-cu.in. Hemi V-8, rated at 170 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque. For the car's intended grand touring mission, such output was more than sufficient.
In 1956, when its time on the global show circuit was done, the Adventurer II was sold to a Chrysler dealer in Casablanca, Morocco, for the impressive sum of $20,000, then enough money to purchase virtually any luxury car on the market. The dealer's madness had method to it, as he was aware of King Mohammed V of Morocco's interest in the car; though the King drove the car for a week, he ultimately decided not to complete the transaction, as the Adventurer II's seats proved to be too narrow for the monarch's liking. The car was returned to the Casablanca dealer, who advertised it in his showroom at an asking price of $25,000.
The Adventurer II caught the eye of Art Spanjian, an American contractor working for the military in Morocco, and Spanjian made a serious attempt to acquire the concept from the dealership. Negotiations reportedly dragged on for more than three years before the parties came to mutually agreeable terms, but ultimately Spanjian took possession of the coupe for an undisclosed price. It was soon shipped back to Spanjian's home in Dayton, Ohio, where it found its way into the local Chrysler dealership as an on-loan exhibit meant to increase dealership traffic. There, Armand Archer Sr. became smitten with the car, ultimately striking a deal for its purchase and driving it to his winter home in Florida.

Business in Europe kept Archer away from Florida for a decade, and the Adventurer II ended up in storage for 25 years. In 1986, Archer's son returned the car to the road, and soon afterward it was sold to a collector on the West Coast. From there it was donated to the Behring Collection, but ultimately landed in the Blackhawk Collection before once again hitting the open market in 2012 at Barrett-Jackson's Scottsdale auction, where it sold for $1.43 million. Restored to an obviously high standard, the Adventurer II has captured awards at Pebble Beach, Amelia Island and Meadowbrook, and can now add The Elegance at Hershey to its impressive tally.

Other cars earning honors at the 2014 The Elegance at Hersey included the 1935 Duesenberg "Mormon Meteor," owned by Harry Yeaggy, which captured the Governor's Cup for Best in Show; a 1931 Minerva AL convertible sedan, owned by Joseph Cassini III and Margie Cassini, which captured the Founder's Award; a 1947 Delahaye 135-M, owned by Robert and Sandy Bahre, which captured the Hotel Hershey Award; and a 1934 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300, owned by Roger Willbanks, which captured the Jack Rich Award. While the Verrill Wolf Wagon failed to capture a top award, it did win the Dawn of a New Era Award for the Best Postwar automobile; owner Pat Swigart has presented the award to the Pennsylvania College of Technology, whose students restored the car in preparation for the 2014 The Elegance at Hershey. As Swigart explained to us, "I just own the car; the students did all the work."

When Art Deco is really Streamline Moderne, and what it meant for 1930s auto design
Images from the Hemmings archives and as credited
The decade of the 1930s was home to some of the most beautiful automotive styling ever created. The products of that decade – automobiles, household items, clothing, architecture and more – can be traced back to their period of origin because of their distinctive appearance. Perhaps more blatantly so than in other decades, the look of those products was influenced by the popular design trends of their day, those being Art Deco and Streamline Moderne.
Art Deco is one of those terms that people generally apply to the bold, swoopy, intricate designs that were broadly seen from the late 1920s through the early 1940s. But what does it really mean? It's a term that was coined in the late 1960s, and it refers to an international decorative arts movement that entered popular consciousness after the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes (International Exhibit of Decorative Arts and Modern Industries) event was held in Paris. Characterized by spare, geometrical patterns, boldly saturated colors and use of contrasting materials, this "Style moderne," as it was then called, was a reaction to the perceived excesses of the Art Nouveau (circa 1890-1914) movement; during that movement's period of influence, the automobile was largely too primitive and mechanically-focused to overtly exhibit its influence.
The period between World Wars I and II has been called America's Machine Age; it was a time when progress was everywhere, when cars and trains and airplanes became more efficient and faster and the country pushed forward to modernity. Art Deco is most closely tied with the "Roaring Twenties," reaching at its peak of popularity in the first half of the Machine Age, when it dominated high-end luxury crafts, as well as influencing architecture and furnishings. Its ornamentation included zigzags, chevrons, sun rays and stylized foliage, with an emphasis on vertical shapes and sharp geometric arrangements.

The most famous American example of a building decorated with Art Deco design motifs – and not coincidentally, one with an automotive theme as well – is New York City's iconic Chrysler Building, designed by William Van Alen and dating from 1930.

As America slipped further into the Great Depression, Art Deco's cheery influence was gradually tempered with, and then replaced by, that of the related Streamline (or, to the art world, Art) Moderne. Using the Depression's austerity to its advantage and celebrating the machine-made, this home-grown design theme tapped into the general sense of progress that arrived with newly practical and accessible transportation forms like the metal fuselage-bodied airplane, the sleek Zeppelin, the high performance automobile and the luxurious ocean liner. Also influential were new industrial, scientific and communication machines that, for the average consumer, created desire for greater efficiency, dynamism and speed.

The streamlining influence that began to appear in car styling in the early-mid 1930s – those cues that we generally characterize as Art Deco – was actually Streamline Moderne. Representing this aerodynamic efficiency and speed in design form were Streamline Moderne's smoothly curved aesthetics, spare, horizontal "speed lines" and careful symmetry. Grilles and windshields leaned back, fenders were crowned and valanced, and cars sat lower over wider, smaller-diameter wheels and balloon tires.

Like the 1925 Paris exposition did for Art Deco, the 1933-1934 "Century of Progress" Chicago World's Fair did for Streamline Moderne: It introduced this new refined movement to the general public. Replacing the tight control, ornate decoration and bold colors of Deco were sleek forms, neutral and pastel colors and metallic accents; new materials like Bakelite plastic, Vitrolite opaque glass and Formica, as well as technical materials like engine-turned and polished aluminum, brushed stainless steel and glossy enamel, were favored. Even more so than had Art Deco, the Streamline Moderne style found its way into virtually every aspect of Americans' lives, including architecture and home goods, where it made devices that were previously purely functional into items of beauty.

As the 1930s progressed, cars showed this newfound style, sometimes in small ways like exterior body trim, radiator grilles, hood ornaments, dashboards, instrumentation, interior panels and even seating…

Aircraft-inspired 1934 Chrysler Airflow tubular seat frames.
And sometimes they pushed the boundaries of design altogether, as in forward-thinking concepts like 1938′s Buick Y-Job and the otherworldly Phantom Corsair.
World War II changed everything, and when auto production resumed in 1945, we'd left the Machine Age and entered the Atomic Age, and automotive styling moved on. Whether we attribute it to Art Deco or Streamline Moderne design trends, we've never forgotten how beautiful the promise of modern speed, seen through a 1930s looking glass, could be.
From the Archives: Vanden Plas caravan
The Vanden Plas Princess chassis was a very popular choice in coachbuilding during the 1960s in Britain. Along with fully built limousines, they were used under ambulances, hearses and other vehicles such as this caravan that was photographed in Lancashire, England. This Princess 4-litre caravan had 12,000 miles from new when it was advertised in the December 1977 issue of Hemmings. This is a 1967 caravan, with Rolls-Royce Phantom automatic gearbox and Connolly hide upholstery; it was alleged to have been kept in mint condition.
We have to think that this would have been an upgrade from the dilapidated trailers and caravans of Brad Pitt's rag-tag group of unwashed traveling grifters from the movie Snatch, though this one was not periwinkle blue. The price tag was steep, though, at $17,500, which would come out to roughly more than $66,000 today. Here's another example, located somewhere across the pond. These appear to be fairly rare, and there aren't too many pictures on the Internet. If anyone has ever owned one, has more information, or perhaps some interesting pictures of other British caravans from the era, be sure to let us know.
John Fitch's one-off Corvair-based Fitch Phoenix to cross the block

As recently as a few years ago, John Fitch still entertained thoughts of putting his Fitch Phoenix sports car into production, giving its name a literal backing. He asked people on the streets whether the design still had its appeal, and he believed any modern front-wheel-drive drivetrain would work well in it. Those dreams apparently died with Fitch in 2012, however, and now his Phoenix will head to auction.
Built in 1966, Fitch's Phoenix came about as a progression of the work he'd already put in over the previous few years modifying Chevrolet Corvairs. Based out of a shop in Falls Village, Connecticut, Fitch not only offered components to improve the handling and power output of the rear-engined air-cooled sedans, he also converted Corvairs over to Fitch Sprint specifications, adding his own homebrew quad-carburetor system, shortened steering arms, stiffer rear springs, a steering damper and radial tires. Looking to build a track version of the Sprint, one that would conceivably compete in a dedicated racing class, he then built a prototype Super Sprint, which used Sprint running gear hung from a custom chassis and draped in a fiberglass semi-open wheel two-seat body.
When that venture fell through, however, Fitch decided to repurpose the bones of the Super Sprint into a road-going sports car – one that could be serviced just about anywhere in the United States with easy-to-obtain replacement parts, but could still make its way around a road course without embarrassing itself. To do so, he enlisted the help of Coby Whitmore, with whom Fitch had years earlier collaborated on the Fitch-Whitmore Jaguar, to design the car and Intermeccanica in Turin to build the car in one-millimeter-thick steel. Like the Super Sprint, the Phoenix ("The name… was considered kind of daring, with its association with destruction by fire," Fitch explained to Kit Foster for a story in Special Interest Autos) used Corvair underpinnings – specifically a chassis from a 1965 Corvair (specifically a Corsa two-door hardtop sport coupe, according to its chassis number) with its wheelbase shortened from 108 inches to 95 and fitted with Fitch Sprint suspension upgrades – and a 140-cu.in. Corvair flat-six engine tuned to produce 160 horsepower. It didn't, however, meet all the specifications Fitch originally laid out. Instead of a target weight of 2,000 pounds, it came in at 2,150 pounds; and to meet a July deadline to finish the car, Fitch omitted the planned disc brakes and a carburetor setup that would have wrung another 10 horsepower from the engine.

Even so, the Phoenix still packed in plenty of features, including an integral roll bar, targa top, dual full-size spares, ventilated leather seats, and all the handling capabilities of his Fitch Sprints. His business plan called for building 500 Phoenixes – with bodies built by Intermeccanica and shipped to Falls Village for final assembly – at a cost of $8,700 apiece, and Fitch took about 100 orders for it before that September, when the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act became law. Though it wouldn't take effect until January 1, 1968, the Act – meant to ensure that all cars sold in the United States conformed to a host of safety standards – didn't initially include any provisions for small manufacturers like Fitch, so Fitch decided to refund all deposits and cancel the Phoenix project, keeping the one driveable prototype for himself.
Photos courtesy Bonhams.
When we spoke with Fitch in 2009 about the Phoenix, he said that he had been in talks with an unnamed collector about selling the Phoenix, but he insisted on retaining the rights to it, should he ever decide to try again to put it into production. When he died in October 2012, however, the Phoenix remained in the garage at his 1767 colonial in Lime Rock, Connecticut, just a couple miles from where he originally assembled the Phoenix, less than 24,000 miles showing on its odometer.
In the years since Fitch's death, the Consulier GTP that he drove has since been put up for sale for $375,000 – an asking price no doubt inflated by the car's association with the legendary driver. Bonhams, which will offer the Fitch Phoenix at its Greenwich auction, has put a more modest pre-auction estimate on the Phoenix of $150,000 to $200,000.
The Bonhams Greenwich auction will take place June 1. For more information, visit Bonhams.com.
UPDATE (2.June 2014): The Fitch Phoenix beat its estimate over the weekend, selling for $253,000, including premiums.
1953 Chrysler Ghia Special Coupe sells for $460,000 in Monaco

Chrysler's Ghia-built show cars of the early 1950 demonstrated the potential of a marriage between Italian coachbuilding (influenced by Virgil Exner's designs) and American engineering. Chrysler only had six Ghia Special Coupes constructed, but Ghia followed up with another dozen Special Coupes of their own. Last weekend, a 1953 Chrysler Ghia Special Coupe, one of the 18 cars originally built, crossed the stage in Monaco, where it sold for a price of 336,000 euros ($462,353) including buyer's fees.
The Ghia-bodied Chryslers were never intended to be merely show cars, as both companies contemplated the potential of putting the exclusive coachbuilt coupes into limited production. Ghia Specials were never offered through American Chrysler dealers, but buyers in Europe could drive away in one of the stylish two-doors, sold through Société France Motors, Chrysler's European sales agent. The similarly-styled Ghia GS-1 even saw a production run of 400 units, once again available only to buyers on that side of the Atlantic.

The Chrysler Ghia Special Coupe that crossed the block in Monaco last Saturday, chassis number 7231533, came powered by its original 331-cu.in. Chrysler Fire Power Hemi V-8.
mated to a PowerFlite two-speed automatic Fluid Drive transmission. According to RM's auction description, chassis 7231533 was sold new by Société France Motors to Leon Coulibeuf, a postwar industrialist with a passion for sports cars and a racing resume that included participation in the 1953 Tour de France Automobile and the 1957 24 Hours of Le Mans. It's not entirely clear if Coulibeuf purchased the Ghia coupe for his own use or for his wife's enjoyment, but its first time in the spotlight (at the 1953 Concours d'Elegance d'Enghien-les-Bains) listed his wife as the car's entrant.

Restored by a previous long-term owner in 1990, the Chrysler Ghia Special Coupe has, until now, spent its entire existence in France, and it's reportedly been shown just once post-restoration, at the 2001 Louis Vuitton Concours at Bagatelle. Its sale on Saturday represented the first time the car has been offered to the public since new, and its selling price of €336,000 ($462,353) reflected its clean-but-not-quite-concours-ready condition. A comparable 1953 Chrysler Ghia Special Coupe, in unrestored form, sold at RM's 2010 Monaco Auction for a price of €246,400, then the equivalent of $309,832.

As one would expect from an auction in Monaco, Ferraris were well represented, occupying six of the sale's top 10 spots. The high dollar car was a 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/C, one of just 12 produced and said to be among the most original examples remaining, which sold for €5,712,000 ($7.86 million). Other lots rounding out the top 10 included a 1959 Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet Series I, which sold for €4,704,000 ($6.47 million); a 1967 Ferrari 330 GTS, which sold for €2,128,000 ($2.93 million); a 1967 Ferrari Dino 206 S Spider sports prototype racer, which sold for €2,072,000 ($2.85 million); a 1968 Alfa Romeo Tipo 33/2 Daytona sports prototype racer, which sold for €1,260,000 ($1.73 million); a 1958 Lister-Jaguar "Knobbly" Prototype, which sold for €1,176,000 ($1.6 million, or considerably less than the $1,980,000 the car sold for last August in Monterey); a 1966 Brabham-Repco BT20 Formula One racer, which sold for €1,092,000 ($1.5 million); a 1997 Ferrari F50, which sold for €907,200 ($1.25 million); a 2003 Ferrari Enzo, which sold for €868,000 ($1.19 million); a 1956 Porsche 356 A Carrera 1500 GS Speedster, which sold for €840,000 ($1.16 million); and a 1969 Lamborghini Miura P400S, which also sold for €840,000.

Willenhall Willys woodie wagon winds its way to Weybridge
Photos courtesy Bonhams.
In the postwar years, surplus Jeeps typically found their ways to farms, ranches and undeveloped lands, tasked with taming treacherous terrain. Not too many made it to the esteemed lords of England, but one – wearing a special coachbuilt woodie station wagon body – did, and will soon head to auction.
Whether the 1943 Willys MB (chassis number MB265149) saw combat during World War II, nobody seems to know, though it's not likely, given that it was one of a number of MBs that Willenhall Coachcraft – now a Volkswagen dealer in West Midlands – bought as war surplus in 1947 specifically to turn into woodie wagons for use on country estates, such as those owned by the 21st Earl of Shrewsbury, also known as John George Charles Henry Alton Alexander Chetwynd-Talbot. Willenhall built as many as 95 of the wagons using a non-stretched MB chassis (at least one other British coachbuilder, Kidd Brothers, stretched its Willys woodie wagons to add a second set of doors), MB L-head four-cylinder drivetrain, and MB front sheetmetal.
The earl then held on to the Willys until 1961, after which it passed through a number of hands before ultimately coming to rest in a shed in Norwich, where it lay neglected until 2004, when a Jeep collector found it and sold it to another, who took seven years to restore it to its 1948 condition, just as the Earl of Shrewsbury took delivery of it.
Almost immediately after coming out of restoration, the Willys crossed the block at the Bonhams Brooklands auction in December 2012. With a pre-auction estimate of £17,000 to £20,000, it failed to sell, setting the stage for its return to Weybridge this summer for another auction. This time, it's been consigned with Historics at Brooklands, which estimates a selling price of £15,000 to £18,000 (about $25,000 to $30,000).
The Historics at Brooklands auction will take place June 7 at the Brooklands Motor Museum. For more information, visit Historics.co.uk.
UPDATE: The Willys did not sell at the Historics.

This is one of the rare occasions where I'm actually sewing separates and not a dress! The Peplum Top pattern has been so popular on BurdaStyle that I just had to try it. I used this bright printed fabric from Art Gallery Fabrics in a citron and mustard floral motif. I love the cap sleeves on this top and the swing of the peplum!
For those of you in New York, I'll be teaching a sewing class at 3rd Ward Monday nights starting October 8th using this sewing pattern. If you're interested in taking the course, use the code BURDASTYLE25 and save 25% when signing up.

Advancing health through science, education and medicine
Despite a growing body of evidence admonishing the behavior, weight cutting(rapid weight reduction) remains prevalent among wrestlers. Weight cutting has significant adverse consequences that may affect competitive performance, physical health, and normal growth and development. To enhance the education experience and reduce the health risks for the participants, the ACSM recommends measures to educate coaches and wrestlers toward sound nutrition and weight control behaviors, to curtail weight cutting, and to enact rules that limit weight loss.

There is a speed war on the web. Browsers compete on many fronts; security, standards support, features and speed. Most people are aware of which major browser fails on three of these, but one of them is still open for grabs. Speed.Many organisations and users try to claim that their browser is the fastest. The Opera site claims that Opera is The Fastest Browser on Earth!. The Mozilla site claims that Firefox 1.0 empowers you to browse faster (faster than what?). Mozilla itself is quoted as being an alternative to Microsoft IE and it's faster to boot. Apple's Safari pages claim that Safari loads pages more quickly than any other Mac web browser (although they failed to show any results for Opera, and their charts fail to show results for pages that contain images). Internet Explorer users often claim that they use it because of its speed, as the alternatives take longer to start and load pages.

Question & Answers
Strange item when it snows?
Item appeared when it snowed (looked like a mandarin orange), tried to pick it up but it said I needed something else first. Anyone know what this is? Not part of the collections.
Answer from: RRBG
Was It By The Bins Outside? if It Was It Was An Ant Spray To Get Rid Of Ants. You Need To Prepare The Cinnamon Ingridient (the browny thing in the kitchen on the counter) first.
Answer from: ebonikki
It comes up by the trash cans outside right? itll appear while you have an ant infestation in the kitchen. drop the person near the counter by the coffee maker and itll say preparing cinnamon (or smthg like that).let them do that, then pick up the orange thing and they will make a spray to exterminate ants forevah! hope it works ;-)
Answer from: imbonkers
When you spray the stuff in the kitchen make sure that everyone is out of the kitchen or they will all get sick (i speak from experience) and make sure theyre COMPLETELY done with the actoin or the ants will still be there. HOPE THAT HELPED :D
Answer from: Chocolate cake
Is it next to the dumpster? If it is then it's to get rid of the ants first you have to get the brown thing drag your person on it then it will say preparing cinnamon ingredient then when they are done drag them on the yellow thing then they will finish the ant spray then they will get rid of the ants for good Do not spray the ants when someone is still stomping ants

After a disaster of a performance against the LSU Tigers in Week 13, Texas A&M Aggies quarterback Johnny Manziel watched his chances of bringing home a second straight Heisman Trophy go out the window. That opened the door for another deserving candidate to have a crack at the most prestigious award in college football, and Boston College running back Andre Williams appears to be that man.
Williams has leapfrogged Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron and Jordan Lynch of Northern Illinois for second place in the latest Heisman Pundit Poll, which is comprised of ten anonymous Heisman voters. The poll has been the most accurate poll for the past seven years, so things are looking good for Williams.
Here is a look at the latest HeismanPundit Heisman Straw Poll that was released today:
Total Points (with first place votes in parentheses)
1. Jameis Winston, QB, Florida State — 18 (6)
2. Andre Williams, RB, Boston College — 16
3. AJ McCarron, QB, Alabama — 8 (2)
4. Jordan Lynch, QB, Northern Illinois — 7 (1)
5. Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M — 4
6. Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon — 3 (1)
7. Bryce Petty, QB, Baylor — 2
