...purveyor of automobile accessories and the name Dunhill became synonymous with the kind of high-end driving instruments the smart set bought. Company founder Alfred Dunhill?who famously declared that he sold "everything but the motor"?retailed nonessentials for the car lover, from high-tech driving goggles and dashboard clocks to driving gloves, which he introduced to the world long before the brand began selling menswear in the '70s. Now the company is tuning up its image with the help of four big-name designers, including Nick Ashley, son of the late Laura Ashley, who will create an outerwear collection...

Coming as it does right out of the blue, a windstorm of such muscle is enough to give the intestate a remorseful heart...
MEET GREG HANSSEN, A PARTNER IN A SMALL BATTERY-prototype testing firm in California called EnergyCS. Hanssen was approached last year by Felix Kramer for help in building a dashboard monitor for a Prius that he and CalCars, his group of plug-in advocates, had converted into a crude plug-in.
