One of our members has suggested that we might start a thread where we simply express our love for these little cars through articles, pictures or just personal testimony. I don't know if web mistress would agree, but it might be a new forum topic by itself.

Figured it out and now we have a separate section just for sharing our love of these fun cars.

Should be easier now than having one super long post containing all the pics & articles.
