Old TV shows and hot new cars

Hi,

Two things today.

First, did you ever see this show on Saturday mornings? If you did...you're probably very, very old...like me. *sigh* I totally had a thing for Glamor Gal. Sadly the picture quality on this clip is pretty bad, but it probably comes from a VCR tape that's over 20 years old. I seriously doubt anyone will ever release a DVD of this show which is too bad because...y'know...Glamor Gal.

Second, on a casual stroll last night with the lovely and talented (and quite tall) [livejournal.com profile] methanopyrus we came across a pair of odd, but neat looking little cars. They looked like Super-Deformed anime cars.

They were a pair of Smart fourtwo cars. Very slick looking automobiles. If I could fit behind the wheel (and I might be able to), this would be my ultimate city driving machine. They're only "sorta" available in the US, but there appears to be a NH dealer who works with Zap motors (the unoffical US importer). Supposedly they'll be more available in late 2006-2007.

ah well, back to work
Tom

Those cars were all over Italy when Dawn and I went a few years ago. Very neato. Instead of parallel parking you just back into the spots, as the car is as wide as it is long.
