Apparently everyone is getting into the Airstream business, as Victorinox joins Mini as the latest company to introduce a custom trailer.
Built to celebrate their 125th anniversary, the Victorinox Airstream will feature a spruced up interior and a collection of Swiss Army products, including watches, flashlights, umbrellas, multi-tools, duffel bags and knife blocks.

When Republic of Fritz Hansen got their hands on a Mini Clubman S and an Airstream trailer, they created what could best be described as a surfer’s paradise on wheels.
The matching set includes details like an Arne Jacobsen Egg and Swan Chair, a Series Seven table and chair set, wood paneling, a fold-out bed, jet-black paint and neoprene accents, and everything is designed to function as good as it looks.
If you’re interested in picking up one of your own, then be sure to keep an eye out for the upcoming debut at the Salone del Mobile show in Milan.

Turbo hopes to redefine the way we think about movie making, with a budget of under 100K, a four man team of special effects artists that took just five months to do their work using consumer-level applications, and a camera that doesn’t break the bank. (RED)
The trailer for Turbo is below, and then keep an eye out for the film’s premier on April 30th:

The Retriever is designed to go where most tow trucks can only dream: In between lanes of traffic!
When a car breaks down, it usually blocks at least one lane of traffic, slowing everyone down, including the recovery vehicle that is trying to get to the scene so that it can clear traffic again.
However, The Retriever, a (heavily) modified 1800cc Honda Goldwing motorcycle, is designed to go through and around that traffic, and get to the scene faster than any other recovery vehicle.
Once there, a winch assisted trailer deploys from the rear, and the three-wheel design isolates the bike form the weight of the car, allowing The Retriever to handle like a normal bike. Hydraulic aids help lift the car and get it ready for transport, and a separate brake system for the trailer ensure that The Retriever can come to a stop when needed.
