Hi Bojan,That is cute car.Excellent capture my friend.I was a truck driver for a long time,I don't think would have been able to see this little guy on the road!!!! #8568515

Renata Gusciora April 25, 2010

Fabulous shot,great lighting,colors and composition,Bojan!I like the human element in the bacground!In POland the similar "city" car would be Fiat 126P :-) #8568614

Bojan Bencic level-classic April 25, 2010

Thank you John, Tammy, Bobby and Renata.
Renata - I remeber those Polski Fiat 126P very well. In Croatia it was known as "Peglica" (diminutive of Pegla which means Iron (as in appliance)). They were quite popular in their day. Alas, they are almost impossible to see these days. #8568644

Renata Gusciora April 25, 2010

:-) In POland you can still see these Foats 126P on the streets!:-)I remember three years ago I was commuting with my friend who had it and I remember adventures we had with it :D I remember it was in winter I used to come at her parking and even if she locked the car I could still open it from the other passenger side and when she came out of the house I have already cleaned the snow from the front window using the brish she had inside the car!:D That was funny!:-)Or when she tried to open the door and used lighter to make the key warm to help open that door:D or when we had to blow onto the front window because it got so foggy she couldnt see anything and nothing seemed to help:D Ahhh..old good times :D Great shot again and thanks for memories that it brought to me,Bojan!:-) #8569166

This is a wonderful shot and a wonderful car Bojan! I can add that in Latin-America this car was known as "Topolino" very popular those days, I love cars and especially Italian cars, this could easily be interpreted as a commemorative shot of the new 500, which as you probably know was car of the year 2008. To add one more, funny story to Renata´s, my wife grandfather used to have one of 500 but he never drove it because he had a driver!! :-) #8569225

Ha! Cool Car! There Coming Back!
