Wee Beasties anyone?

Now while I don't doubt that only us crazy Brits could actually like these, I thought I'd waft them past y'all to laugh at ...

I've just bought a CD from the designer with 150+ micro-car models on it. They are fairly simple, easily modified or rescaleable designs. Anyone else interested? Do you want me to continue posting them as I make them up?

No, they are not available free, but £5.99 + p&p ain't bad for 150+ models.

Curt, There IS a model of the new Fiat 500 available, in both standard and Abarth SES versions.

Er ... I don't think a Tina fits into the Micro-car bracket Peter.

Gix .. Yep it's the Trotter's van, but there are other variations too. Regretably there's no Morgan though. That would have to be pretty detailed with it's external engine.

Curt ... there are a few Fiat 126 but no 500, not even the early ones.

Most modern is the Smart Fortwo Coupe.

As he owns one, I've suggested to Terry that he should do a Toyota Sera, but he hasn't bitten yet.

As a 30 yr career soldier, who served in 9 different combat zones, the biggest adrenalin rush I ever experienced was driving a Heinkel Bubble car thirty milles along the M1 motorway. It was flat out at 40mph and them trucks look bloody big from that angle.

But as Terry says "You don't measure the performance of a Micro-car in mph or mpg, it's the Smiles per mile that matter." They turn more heads than a Ferrari.
