Auto Regalia USB Mini & Lamborghini Murcielago
We pit Lambo’s Murcielago against Mini Cooper in this USB giant test!
After reading our Motormouse review back last autumn, motor gizmo specialist Auto Regalia were keen for us to try other products. “How about a review of a USB stick” they asked? Seriously underwhelmed by the prospect – I mean, a stick is a stick, it’s just that some are made larger than others, right? “Hey, these ones are die-cast metal, beautifully detailed miniatures” they retorted. “We can even supply them in yellow!” Well that clinched it, and behold, we have a brace of “HotWheels” with capacities only juggernauts could muster to play with (4 GB in this case ).

Auto Regalia Lamborghini Murcielago
Big surprise: setting up the beauty shot on the roof of our yellow golf, the Mini nearly rolled right off! The wheels are not just for show, and with a little flick the car will roll just like the little toys we all used to own as kids. The Lambo wasn’t so eager though: a badly centered wheel meant a wobbly ride when fingered along. Next surprise is that the headlights work when plugged into your computer – obvious really when you think that most USB sticks have activity lights – but a nice touch nevertheless.

Auto Regalia USB Mini & Lamborghini Murcielago are genuinely factory approved
Conclusion: Despite its metallic paintwork and svelte lines the Lamborghini Murcielago is seriously hampered by it’s low roofline, preventing connector retraction. The Mini’s shape allows the USB tongue to be hidden when not needed, meaning you have a cute little model to push around your desk, and that clinches it for the Mini Cooper, but better hide it from the kids or your powerpoint presentation will disappear into the toy cupboard…

I love the Mini Cooper USB sticks, I bought mine from another car gift company called Caagis.com (http://www.caagis.com). I actually prefer the design of the Rallye Monte Carlo ones, which Caagis sells.
The details on these are amazing, they are in effect die cast model cars, like the Matchbox kind but with the added benefit of being able to store computer data.
Everyone in my office loves the way the headlights light up, I already know what I will be giving my car geek husband for Christmas
