There are a lot of Amis in Paris. Less Topolinos, for sure, but both interesting in urban trafic. And you can park two for the place of one normal car!
The space race in Italy ๐ฎ๐น
Possibly the only place where you are likely to encounter a Citroen Ami parked next to a Fiat Topolino (they are twins underneath). They are a minimal interpretation of four wheeled mobility but fill a niche especially for those under 18 (can be driven wi...
These are nice pieces of luggage!
You drive in one to the airport, then check it in, then pick up from the luggage belt - and off you go!
Funny duo! And the contrast between the old style street and these
new-age cars is quite amusing too! Best, Emmanuel
Definitely agree with you on that ๐๐๐ป
Hereโs a more traditional pairing for you ๐ฎ๐น ...
That was a fun concept ๐
Was trying to convince Renault to do a Moscow to Vladivostok in one. In winter โ๏ธ But they were not officially sold in the market ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Italy is living up to its promise so far, tooโฆ
Even if the roads have deteriorated significantly in surface quality south of Montalcino ๐๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Got both colder and snowierโฆโ๏ธ
But unfortunately also darker, so no suitable pictures to demonstrate ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Unfortunately the time didnโt allow for that ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Next time with the family ๐๐๐ป
Looks like marshmallows ๐
Either would have worked very well for me during the Portugal trip sometime ago๐
Citroen Ami the revenant of the FIAT Multipla
Microcars can be useful in some cities with no doubt, but is it really necessary to use the design language of one of the worst car designs ever made?
Meaning with the Ami or Topolino?
The Ami was not a conventional beauty the first time around, either ๐ The Multipla, for all its design faults was super practical and not bad to drive ๐
I've always loved micro cars. Add performance and even better like with a 1275cc Mini (can you do a Hyabusa swap with these like in a Smart car?). Even if you can't you have weather
protection. You give up performance per dollar (euro) compared to a two wheeler but you and your date can't steam up the windows on a motorcycle!
You can swap a Hayabusa into a classic Miniโฆ
Or a BMW V8 (from the M3) into a modern one. Likewise an Aston V8 into a Cygnet ๐
That would be a lively one ๐ฆพ
At least at the lower speed reaches. I suppose above 100mph acceleration would weaken, as the overall power would still not be excessive but I am sure it was massive fun ๐๐ป๐๐ป
From a certain level on the absolute bhp is more important than the power to weightโฆ
Depends on the aerodynamics of course ๐ The one thing the Beat had going for it is the small frontal area ๐๐ป
