Not your pro-level photography, Ian, but here it is:

Ah yes.....the smaller font is so much better. :wink:

All kidding aside, it looks to be a great machine. The knob is probably a lot faster and more user friendly than the LED method on the Vivaldis. Just looks a bit old fashioned.

How much weight did they save with the carbon fibre....dang...there I go again.

I saw a picture that looked like it had a chrome colored cover. It might have been the Super Mini, but it did look better. I think they should do colors. I can't imagine that cover would be too expensive to produce.

An earlier version had a silvery-gray plastic.

Yes, it is. I hate garish.

At least they got rid of the "proof of taste" stamped on the front. Is there some reason they don't just put a "Dalla Corte" logo on the front of the drip tray (or the name of his daughter... :roll:

).

OK, enough about styling, I've got to get back to designing my new side panels for my Mini Vivaldi. Hmmm, stamped chrome with black gloss trim and nice round LaSpaziale logo in the center, that would look sweet.

It's on the back, facing the "customers" (or, in my case, the wall of my bar).

Don't get me wrong, it's a machine I want to love . . . but it also has to gain aesthetic approval from the other people who live in the house. Well, OK, the kids probably don't get a vote (though my 14 year old would complain mightly if she didn't!), but my wife Lynn sure does!

The Edsel was a really good car; it just looks like $#!+ . . . Ford ask people what they wanted in a car, and the result was an Edsel. Ford learned their lesson, and asked people what their neighbors wanted in a car, and the result was the Mustang!

The vibe pump is noisy. I have learned to love the rotary so this is a small con for me. Taste wise I don't think there is a whole lot of difference between vibes or rotaries. But it is noisier. Perhaps some more damping would help.

Cheers

I've got one you can borrow. PM me the shipping information.

I used the Mini for several weeks and now have the Super Mini. I really do like its whisper silent rotary.

Nice looking machine inside and out.

The size is the most attractive part about it for me.
...guess I'm the only one who likes the looks :roll:

Anyways, can't wait to read more about this little wonder.
