automobile (s)



This pic might not exactly meet the assignment's technical requirements but it is one of my favorites under this theme!! Seen at the Ramblas, that is Barcelona's main pedestrian boulevard. Fred Flinstone was most likely having a cup of coffee at a local café. Too bad I missed him! but I could almost hear :"Wilmaaaaa"!!

And this is a minimalist version of an automobile, perfect to run errands in the city : a Smart "fortwo" (DaimlerChrysler, it can reach 130km/h or some 70mph)



One of its cutest features is the possibility to park facing the street! a big plus in a crowded European city. Here is one I pictured in Hamburg, proudly carrying the German flag because of the World Cup. Germany qualified yesterday for the semi-finals, go Germany! yes, I am a little biased here...

  3. I think the little German car is very cute and since it's so small it's great for parking but I wouldn't want to be in it in an accident.

  6. I can't imagine driving something that small on the same roads with Suburbans, Hummers, etc.... If you get in a wreck, you don't have a prayer!

    Now the Flintstone's car.... that's cool.....

  13. Mar--I love each and every ONE of this photos! That would be ideal parking for anywhere in the USA. Wish the Americans would appreciate smaller cars as y'all do!!!

  16. I love it... You know someone had to put in the time and energy to build that Flintstones car. Were there any frat houses nearby?

    Great choices!

  20. That little german car is supposed to go on sale here in 2008, I forgot who is going to make it. It gets 70 mpg! If only it had room for 2 Britax car seats, but it doesn't look like it. And I love the flinstones car, great shot!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Great picture! Unfortunately I never see any of those around here :)

    ReplyDelete
  22. Yabba dabba doooo!! Love the Flintstone car!! Too Cute!

    As for the little bitty car, I know that it's efficient and easy to park and all that, but I think it would be squashed like a bug in an accident! Scary!

  23. Enjoyed your submission for this weeks theme...
    You know, when I was in Germany 2 years ago, I saw the Smart cars for the first time. Great to get around in the tiny streets of Europe...
    I played this week as well...

  33. Only a few SMART CARS in the USA and they are really here illegally. Our government can be such a pain. I would love to have one to drive. I have always loved small cars.The micro are even better.

  35. One of those little cars would be perfect for running around my small town. I have to agree with Michele, I would worry about safety in it because of its size.

    ReplyDelete
