ええ鳥だんべ〜！ この野生なもんが魅力もていますな〜！ As Regular Readers will recognise, I have an Eye for the Birds, though I rarely catch up with them

群馬県のチンピラが好きそうな車ですね〜。私も好きです。何の意味だろうか？

Not least this one, spotted in front of Kyoto City Hall last Sunday.

That is one cool Trans Am, but actually I think I'd rather have one of these Firebirds:

Or maybe even one of these! A Pontiac Club de Mer. Nice, I like it!

この三輪車はイギリスのローマクスだ。素敵ですね？This three-wheeler is a Lomax, from, where else, the UK. The engine is most likely a Citroen or a Moto Guzzi though. Below is a 223, tootling down the high-street in Oxford.

Maybe I'll try to persuade Sasha that we need one of these when we trade in the 7.

イタリア代表車はこのFIATでした。Here is the Italian representative. My brother Steve used to drive one of these Bertone-designed rigs.

このジネッタもかっこい！　Back in Britland, I have always been partial to one of these:
