Beer Can Exhaust

The team of designers working on the 2001 MINI had finished the full-sized clay mock-up of the MINI in plenty of time for a presentation for the board of directors. Chief designer Frank Stephenson realized that the model did not have an exhaust pipe. His short-term solution was to pick up an empty beer can, punch a hole in it, strip off the paint and pushed it into the clay at the back of the car, which took just a few minutes. The overall design for the mock-up was so good that the board members told him not to change a thing, resulting in the distinctive exhaust tip seen in production cars.

Well that's something I did not know, very interesting

Nice detail. Fun to see too. OK, What's the D2G special cannon soap? Had to ask.

Nice mini, like the colour and the white stripes are a nice touch. I've only detailed one Mini so far and they are very nice to detail. Like the curves they have.

Always enjoy your details Dust.

Nice detail on the Mini. I own a Mini and love the way the car drives. It is a pretty fun car to detail as well. The hood is a little more tricky to polish since it has so many curves.
