Objects of desire

There's a really dinky little car that I've seen twice round here in the last week.

It's a Smart car. So not very large.

It's the ForTwo, the proper titchy Smart with only the two seats.

And it's the Cabrio, so the roof's not there.

But it's even more minimalist than that, as it hasn't got doors either - instead it has a rear-hinged lifting bar on each side instead. The overall effect is of something that's barely there at all, and it just looks like the most fun since the Mini Moke.

I've tried finding it on the Smart website(s), but couldn't, so I'm afraid I can't point those interested at pictures of it.

You'd get a bit damp driving that round here.

FF, who had to get rid of her old Escort as there was so much damp the electrics kept fusing.

Well, dear, you do live in the most soggy part of the country. Over here in East Anglie, we apparently have the same average annual rainfall as Jordan. The country, that is, not Ms. Price.

(I'm not sure Katie has her own weather system yet.)

Although this morning you'd never believe it...
