Mini-USB
Gevonden 
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.
