Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Fiat 500 event

To say that nothing ever happens around here would be a lie. Sometimes a dog sneezes. And sometimes there is a development.

When I passed our largest parking area recently I saw that each traffic sign has a cute little padded orange coat. First I thought that somebody was afraid of floods, but then I read the note attached. It warned against parking there next Sunday. Of all possible things there would be Fiat 500 rally!

I came at allotted time and saw them whirrrr off. Bestia was far less impressed at the noise of about 50 of them rev their little engines at the same time. Some even carried a little rucksack. Ahh. And if I’m not mistaken, I caught the mayor posing with one as well. (Click on the images, see the little cars grow and read the usual well-meaning banter.)

The epitome of happiness.

I was at their meetings before but this is the most I’ve ever seen them in one place.

An intruder spotted! Time to die!

One suitcase for the car, one suitcase for the man.

Love the colours.

90% sure this is the Mayor.

Which one do you prefer?

The formation

The orange one looks like a Fiat 750 that my uncle used to have. In Yugoslavia they were very popular.

The intruder doesn’t care and feels at home.

Sunday morning feels so gooood.

Franco is a race-car driver.

They seem anxious to be off.

Getting ready.

About one third of them.

The red and grey was a favourite of mine.

The photographer could try taking more photos like this one.

Yugoslaviaaaa, Yugoslaviaaaa (flag colours).

Ahh, off to school now.

And they are away.

With lots of honking and revving.

Bye-bye, pretty cars.
