Kind of reminds me of the parking at Alice's, although I have seen a bubble car there yet.

Nope. The German bubble car is the white one in the middle-right in the picture that is swerving through the parked cars. Here is the information regarding that bubble car shown in the picture: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinkel_Kabine Current motorcycle collection: 2002 Yamaha FZ1; 2020 KTM 390 Duke; 2009 BMW F650GS; 2018 Zero S 16.6 kWh |

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #318 yes, I know what a bubble car is. My brother owned one in the 1960s, briefly. Although he had the Isetta version I think, the LHD UK made version with single rear wheel that could be driven on a bike licence. https://www.isetta.org.uk/page16.html There is a Citroen 2CV in the picture, bottom left. My query relates to a presumption that you have seen all of the other cars in the picture at Alice's. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citro%C3%ABn_2CV Spam goes here |
Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #319Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #318 I have seen several 2CV cars in the past at Alice's, including most versions of the car, such as a small commercial truck, but none recently. I once saw a group of 2CV cars driving in the slow lane of the 280 freeway heading south at 55 mph. Most looked in good shape and were obviously well maintained by enthusiasts. But that was 20 years ago and they have been pretty scarce lately. I bet they are still around, but sticking to the lowlands and only going out to local car shows.

Here are photos of the latest vehicle that was parked at Alice's restaurant this morning. The long tube resting on the roof along the right side of the Hummer contained a cell phone jammer that was used to keep cell signals from setting off mines placed in the roadway when the vehicle was deployed to Afghanistan. I forgot to ask if it still works.

Today at Alice's restaurant I saw my first Arch motorcycle. I think this is one of those very expensive custom-built bikes using an S&S engine and lots of special fabricated parts. Photos attached.

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #322 Seems to be a Keanu Reeves vanity project. It's hideous, like much of his other work!

Perhaps you would prefer to see these two cars that were parked nearby yesterday The exhaust system on the roadster in the foreground really caught my eye. Very motorcycle-like. Current motorcycle collection: 2002 Yamaha FZ1; 2020 KTM 390 Duke; 2009 BMW F650GS; 2018 Zero S 16.6 kWh |

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #324 Looks like the passenger has to be careful getting in and out.
