MINI Checkmate

Disponibile nelle versioni MINI Cooper e MINI Cooper S, è la più attuale interpretazione del carattere sportivo di MINI. Lo testimoniano, fra l'altro, il décor a scacchi bianchi e neri sulla fiancata sinistra e sui sottoporta, i cerchi in lega leggera da 17 pollici, i sedili sportivi in tessuto e pelle, e il volante in pelle bicolore. Per la carrozzeria, oltre al dinamico Space Blue, la MINI Checkmate offre una scelta di altri cinque colori da porre in contrasto con il tetto e gli alloggiamenti degli specchietti retrovisori rifiniti in bianco o nero o argento.

I prezzi: MINI Cooper Checkmate, da 21.200 euro; MINI Cooper S Checkmate, da 24.510 euro.

Fun cheerful geometric retro pattern print. Muted red, pink, green and turquoise. Great for aprons, curtains, placemats, tablecloths, runners, or shirts, skirts, tank tops or pillows.

35 - Defeat

I thought a lot about this theme. It was originally going to be silhouettes of the timeless classic of Rock, Paper, Scissors...but then I had the idea of the king that is knocked over to signal a loss in a game of chess. I went for a high contrast scene because I'm getting hooked on black and white and that plays nicely on the chess board and the pieces.

I spent a long time working out how I was going to demonstrate checkmate, and as it turns out, I made one quite significant error. Prize for the person who spots it!

Checkmate!

Gli scacchi sono l'arte della guerra senza le carneficine, sono la resurrezione dei morti sul campo dell'onore, la perpetua speranza, la supremazia dell'intelligenza sulla forza, la cultura dello spirito.

Checkmate, white wins

Looking for an afternoon trip out of Hue city itself, we hired motorbikes to visit this temple. We bought cans of cola from the people whose main purpose may have been to charge money in return for not calling their mates to come and steal our motorbikes.
