Pretty sure it was the Smart four four and it finished early last year. Production moved to china
The above excellent cartoon reminded me: My late Dad was a WW2 Returned Serviceman ("Veteran") who was deployed aged 19 in 1942 to New Guinea to fight against the Japanese forces of the day... to get there involved a full week on a "troop" train ( about 2000miles) followed by a sea voyage through hostile waters.
Difference is, all the safety/protection built in, it's like a reverse tardis on the modern vehiclesA memory from 19th January 2019 just popped up on my Facebook page.
A picture I took at the local shopping centre
On the left is a Mazda 2, a compact city car for a small family or single, as shown by the young girl on L plates.
On the right is a full size family Holden EH station wagon from 1964.
How things have changed.
We used to fit mum, dad, the 4 kids and all of our luggage in one and go for a two week holiday
My brother and two sisters on the back seat and me squashed between mum & day on the front bench.
No need for seat belts.

Seems like he was a good neighbor, so nothing to at all to complain or worry about.Another old memory from 9 years ago popped up today on Facebook.
Is it funny or just bizarre?
I just love the comments.........................honestly do you really want to have a neighbour like this???
Lucky there are no fires nearby as it would level half the neighbourhood.
It isn't about gun control........it's about the crazy bastard next door......not to mention he was dead in his car on the street for 2 weeks........and his wife knew he was there.

My main concern is 7 tonnes of ammunition stored in one location.Seems like he was a good neighbor, so nothing to at all to complain or worry about.
Have you seen what happens to ammunition when placed in a fire? Not much..My main concern is 7 tonnes of ammunition stored in one location.
I know it is fairly stable but a house fire isn't all that rare in California.
It would sure make 4th July look tame.
