Well I don't have a license, so I have to use my pedal car.
Not the fastest, but it does get noticed.

Ms. Margaret :tiphat: - You are waaaayyyy toooooooooooooo much!! AWESOME. Suddenly the expression: "I drive my husband crazy", becomes reasonable, though it was Muza, I believe who spoke it.
However it´s illigal, there´s no visible safety belts

However, I have to complement you on your choice of a city car. Small, fast and very conveineant except for passengers. It doesn´t polute the air, it´s doesn´t sound to loud like a dozer or a buss for instance, it can get around - in and out - between other cars like a bike. It´s very easy to park - doesn´t need much space....
Hmm!! Does one have to put money in the parking meeter during buisness hours?
And finally Ms. Margaret, a clarifying question. How fast can you go stepping fast on the pedals below the instrumentation board?

Hi Intet
Well some people have to put money in the parking meters, but as mine is a pedal car I seem to get parking free.
As to how fast I can go, I use to be able to do 10 mph, but as I get a little older I have slowed down a bit, just 5mph.
But my chauffeur got done for speeding, so I had to sack him.

I don't drive by choice, take public transport, Cars are evil and bad for the environment. Even worse are aeroplanes (airplanes). Was horrified watching the news this morning and the senate in America continues to prop-up a system where tiny regional airfields operate air services between small rural towns with almost no patronage. Often flying aircraft with a handfull of passengers. Now that is totally outrageous and wasteful of fuel and so bad for the ozone.

It reminds me of a real story that took place in Denmark some two years ago.
We can drive at the most 110 kilometers per hour on the freeways. So one day the head of the entire Danish Police Force on his way in his car from Århus to Aalborg to an important meeting, he was late, and asked the private chauffeur to Step On It. :grin:
What the Danish Police Chief did not know was that a journalist from a Copenhagen news paper was driving behind his car, who used his cell phone to photograph the car in front of him, with number plates and all - at the speed of 170 kilometres per hour photographing his own speedometer, more than 60 kilometres to fast. He even phoned his paper, while driving and said where he was. The editor at the paper telephoned the Police in Jylland and told about this fast driving car, and it was stopped 20 kilometres south of Aalborg on the free way by Police on bikes.
The next day this story broke the headlines in all the Danish news papers, and also on TV, because the Police had just had the free speed limit decreased, as they said it´s much to dangerous to drive so fast.
This incident the Danish Police Chief chickend out from, by saying: "I had no idea we were driving so fast, I was studying a report and from the back seat of the car, I could not see anything. It´s sad that my chauffeur did not keep the speed limit, he will be replaced".
Chicken, as we say in Denmark, leaving the responsability to his chauffeur, who of course would never drive so fast, had he not been ordered.

We have another proverb in Denmark saying: If you can´t lie convinsingly, keep you mouth shut.
The entire Denmark sent e-mails to the papers and the TV, which were quoted in the prime time TV. We all laughed at the embarrassed Chief of the Danish Police.
Had this chicken been a man, he would simply have said: My foult, I am sorry, I asked the driver to Step On It. I take the full responsability.
That´s why, he has remained a chicken,

I drive a 1972 Chev Commando with the stuffing comming out of the seats, top speed 40km/h and using a liter of brake fluid for every 10 lit of petrol. The atvantage of driving such a distinctive vehicle, everybody in town always now where to find me and visitors usually get whiplash trying to get a second look.
