Too Loud ?


Following on from the principle that the smaller they are the louder they are - we believe that this roller skate must have blown out its back window when they turned up the bass....

On the same day we saw another roller skate with extended back axles so that its back wheels were entirely outside the flare of the back wheel arches.  F failed to get that one in a picture.

She did get the picture of the 3-wheeled tuk-tuk with the precarious load of plastic crates.  From the front it even had a little one-person cab - pretending to be a delivery truck.  I wonder what it wants to be when it grows up?

And finally, writing about small and loud - we watched in amazement as this wriggled its way into a narrow space between cars parked in front of our apartment.  The two adjacent cars had left slightly more than enough room to safely open their respective doors, and that was enough.  Just enough mind you.  The driver couldn't open his doors (and neither could the adjacent cars which will be a surprise when their drivers come back), so clambered over the seat and extricated himself through the lifting hatch at the back.  Unconventional.

It's electric....

    What fun vehicles... makes one think that the old front-opening bubble car from the 1960's could make a come-back, but fully electric, of course!!! Hugs and whiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx

    1. Front exit cars would resolve the parking problems around where we live - you could probably get half as many cars again into the available space. xxx Mr T

    1. Tigger will never get to Seoul to report on them but the best weirness F has seen in a 'modern' city are the modified motorbikes that do service as trade vehicles there. They make these prams look like London buses!

  4. The car in the first photo looks like it could easily fit in here in New Zealand, once in a while we see a car or whatever that has some sort of clear cover over a window.

  5. Driving around Athens was a scary thing. We were totally amazed that we hardly saw any accidents
    Lots of Greeks yelling. But no accidents

    1. There are lots of cars that look lkke they have had accidents - well dents anyway. Maybe encounters with bollards and endeavours to squeeze down narrow streets with double parked cars on both sides....
