Designer David Gawthorpe from Lower Hopton,
West Yorkshire has created this ultimate boys\' toy out of a
Mini Cooper. This luxury
chair is perfect for luxury gadget collectors. The multifunctional Mini Cooper chair is not only a chair, it has a
remote controlled smoke machine, the 500-watt amplifier,
iPod dock and headphones, strobes and laser and even
dispenses chilled beer. Alloy wheels become two extra seats as well as sound amplifiers, while it also sports a high gloss black finish and polished chrome parts. David Gawthorpe spent two years turning the front end of a Mini into a multi-function console and the retail price of this special gadget chair is £8,000 ($12,930).

Mr Gawthorpe said: ‘It’s a theatre-movie chair, a gaming chair, a workstation and a music centre. It would interact well plugged into a large TV for watching films. If you are watching
Saving Private Ryan it has a vibration pad called the “Butt Kicker” that reacts to bullet sounds.’
