Vond deze ergens op internet. Iemand een idee of dit te koop is
of zou de eigenaar hiervan zelf wat hebben geknutseld :?:

dat is zelf geknutseld, maar ik heb daar de howto eens van teruggevonden.
Weet alleen niet meer waar en hoe.

Zal eens zoeken.

Gevonden :grin:

This Mini sure does drive...no pun intended. It's a USB Flash Drive built
into a Hot Wheels model of a Mini Cooper. I saw some various mods
using USB drives, such as a PEZ and Lego drives. I think I remember
reading something about someone who made a drive fit into a Hot Wheels
car, but I don't remember where. I saw this Mini sitting on my shelf, and
figured, hey, I'm never gonna use it for anything anyways, so I might as
well put it to use. This was really pretty easy to make, and I didn't plan
out one bit of it, so there's not really a good how-to. I will explain how I
did it, though. First, I drilled out the rivets that hold the bottom of the car
to the body with a drill press. Once those were out, I separated the two
and *** off the front end with a Dremel and cutting wheel attachment.
I then *** the bottom piece in two, in line with the first body ***. I had
decided to use the cap that came with the drive in the mod somehow,
because it makes a nice friction fit with the USB plug, so I could be sure
the front end wouldn't fall off. I ground down the cap as small as possible
without ruining it and slid it into the cut-off front end. The car needed some
modding as well, because there were various structural supports that
prevented the cap from fitting in. I just ground down all the extra pieces
of metal sticking out so the car was completely hollow. Once the cap was
glued in with hot glue, I could move on to the drive case. This part was
probably the easiest, as all I had to do was glue a bit of balsa wood the
correct thickness to support the USB drive. Then I glued the drive to the
wood, and re-glued the body onto the bottom piece. Finally, I *** out some
foam that was left over from my iPod dock to put over the opening to hide
the interior workings. I also *** some plastic from a clear report or paper cover
and covered the top of the circuit board with it to prevent dust from getting in.

Ook new mini's met de stick uit de koffer zijn intussen op de markt.

En de classics, die heb ik nog altijd in de aanbieding, in zo'n 15-tal variaties.
