Round little bugga

This image was over on Break.com. Thought it was pretty interesting. Pretty sure a round orb is not the best eco-shape. But different and worth sharing none the less.

Saves room in the parking lot.

Thank gawd it's not fuzzy, too - otherwise my dog would be chasing it.

Best to keep pants on in your house then?

Or have a Brazillian.

Excuse me? No part of my anatomy is green :-)

I should perhaps explain that my dog is extremely particular: she'll only chase green tennis balls. Try a different color, or a smooth plastic ball (let alone a stick), and she just gives you the "I have no idea what you're going on about" look.

Cool -

Looks like body parts from a classic VW Microbus. The smaller track on the rear wheels makes me think it's a BMW Isetta underneath:

It must be custom, otherwise I would expect to have seen it here :

Microcar Museum

If it had a rollover accident, it might not stop...

10 minutes later and I'm still LAUGHING!!!

...it's (obviously) a Low Rolling Resistance (LRR) vehicle, especially when "rolling" down hill (ha,ha)/

We've talked about this lil bugger before but I don't know where or why.

Meet the Pea in the entrance to the Beaulieu Motor Museum

The text has some details.

Here's another one :

Not round, but the shape may look familiar
