"The little red car .... "

"The little red car goes vroom, vroom, vroom
Vroom, vroom, vroom .. vroom, vroom, vroom

The little red car goes vroom, vroom, vroom
Vroom, vroom, vroom .. vroom, vroom, vroom

The little yellow taxi goes toot, toot, toot ..... "



We (Pete and I, Elaine and Bryan, and Carl) went to the Johannesburg International Motor Show on Saturday. It has all the up to date vehicles, some very very smart and some not so very smart. Apparently this runs after the Paris Motor Show so it has the latest cars etc. Pete has been to several shows previously but this is the first time we tagged along - very interesting and well worth it - if you like this sort of thing, of course. All types of vehicles are there from trucks to street sweepers but we concentrated on the 'good stuff'.


We all had our cameras !!!! So we came away from the show having taken loads of photos ... here are just a few .. from both cameras ..

The Audi stand was very smart - all black and white. Elaine was impressed! She had recently done a project for her Honours Marketing degree on VW and knows lots! and she knew their new image and advertising would be and now is, all black and white ...




This was the cutest little concept car (like a teenie tiny space car) - Nissan Nuvu

Cute, hey !!




Maserati

Aston Martin

Bentley

On our recent holiday to England (and my very very first !!!) we used to pass the 'Bentley shop' near Berkeley Square. Our hotel was close by ... and hubby drooled over all the smart cars in and around that area. The cherry on top was the Bugatti in the window of the 'shop' on our last day there ... but that's another story ! The jaw dropped as well as the drooling and he marched right in to take photos ! None of the 'taking photos through the window' stuff !

Ps - Jeanette - it's taken me simply ages to do this post !!!! I hear you now - download photos first then write - I keep deleting photos by mistake! Still learning !!
