Bl 4CK

We first saw this car back in February in the new, very hi-tech PCWorld and Dixons store in Birmingham which is called "Black." You can see a photo of it that Bekki took at the time here - http://365project.org/nectarfizz/365/2011-02-09

Then tonight, after exiting a local supermarket, there it was again on a car transporter in Stafford (some 72 miles away) heading who-knows-where. It must be the same car! (even if the racing stickers have been taken off which were in the earlier photo) It was raining tonight and the sunroof on it was open. I don't know why it wasn't closed as it wasn't doing the leather seats much good in the English drizzle.

It felt a little spooky to see this little red car again by chance.

Really cool to see it again! It looks like such a small car!

@dmortega @brooketallman @bilky @mandyrob It's like something Pee Wee Herman would drive :)

Small but I bet it gets great gas mileage.

Just noticed, it only has one windscreen wiper.

Think I saw Top Gear boys to a feature on these - very cute, aren't they.

Nice. Is this the car Jeremy Clarkson drove around and office and into a board meeting???

@kazzamazoo Umm, nope that car was even smaller, the Peel P50. It has no reverse gear, so you have to get out and physically turn it around (there's a handle on the back for this) when you want back out. On the plus side, it does 100 mpg! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peel_P50

M, this car is meant for me. It keeps finding us because it wants to come home with me. I knew it was like Herbie.

Love the vintage feel to the photos. Cute car. Has it been featured on Top Gear? I'm currently obsessed....

That's soooo cute. Looks very much like the Fiat 500 Bambino I used to want years ago! How strange to see it twice!

@tford I don't know, but I'm sure Clarkson would try to squeeze his ego into it if it was featured :)

Very cute....love little red cars!

@bilky You may be right. If we see it a third time by accident, we'll know for sure :)
