Hey, Vinay – Philip Greenspun on driving in the Bay (uh… ‘Bay Area’), and an interesting observation on what I take to be the Honda Impact (which seems to have disappeared over here – curious).
In unrelated news, I sat in a Smart Roadster the other day. Hugely clever car – very much a Lotus Elan for the new millennium. Tiny, very light, 3-cylinder 700cc-ish turbo engine at the back. Bags of fun, 55+ mpg, nicely low emissions. The local dealers have put me on the list for a test drive, but the right hand drive models don’t appear until next month. Boo! There’s also the minor issue of them costing a packet. Double Boo!
