Nice one James, excellent vid

40 mph and frighten, makes more sense than 120 mph and just cruising IMO smile

And I love the look of the everyday-use replicas biggrin

Here's a link to the micro (bubble) car museum

http://www.bubblecarmuseum.co.uk/

No virtual tour so you have to drive there and see the cars in the metal/fibreglass

That's no hardship as the road there is excellent and there's a nice cafe nextdoor and the cars are fantastic

well, much like the bottled and cask beer debate, travelling and seeing these cars in person will always be better than a virtual tour! biggrin
