I`d take a "Sceicento" over a moped. The latter is generally restricted

to 30mph, the Fiat`s bound to be faster.

Well the manufacturers stuck some stickers on that say "Sporting", and

hence the Seicento Sporting came into existence. If it was fast they`d

probably have called it a Seicento "BLISTERINGLY QUICK".

As it happens, they stuck the stickers to a car that has been designed

to be driven at full chat everywhere and still be reasonably good fun

but not actually very fast.

Thought I’d try something a little different for this series of creative images.

I went out to Old Town here in Kissimmee, Florida one night for their Saturday Night Vintage Car Show. Hopefully I’ll get to go back soon — I decided to head out there pretty late, so most of the cars had driven off due to the storms we had roll through earlier that evening. But it was still nice to roam around for an hour or two and get to see what was out there. I hadn’t been in years, so the place has really grown up!

Last Saturday, Sean and I took a day trip to Gatorland. We’ve been wanting to head out there for a while, but they’re currently running a Florida Residents special for $10. Can’t beat that!! So I’ve included those pictures as well. We had such a great time, even though it is STILL a bit too hot here in Florida to not want to curse the sun and heat. Hopefully in the next month or so we’ll get even cooler — then we’ll head out to Disney World!! Woohoo!!
