More about the floral mini car display at Bourton on the water.
We had 2 mini's and loved both of them.
The Cotswold Motoring Museum & Toy Collection in Bourton-on-the-Water is home to a charming display of floral mini cars! This delightful exhibit features intricately designed miniatures of classic cars, all adorned with beautiful floral arrangements. It's a unique and creative way to combine the elegance of flowers with the nostalgia of vintage cars.
The museum itself is a nostalgic journey through the history of 20th-century motoring, showcasing a wide range of rare vehicles, motorcycles, and motoring memorabilia. The floral mini car display adds a special touch, making it a must-see attraction for visitors of all ages.
ランギロア環礁の面積は世界第二位ですが、人が住んでいる島は長さ10kmぐらいのとっても細長い島が一つあるだけです。
このミニカーは40km/hくらいしか出ませんが島の端から端まですぐに走り切ってしまいます。
The area of Rangiroa Atoll is the second largest in the world, but the only inhabited island is one long and very narrow island of about 10km.
This minicar can only drive at a speed of about 40km / h, but in a blink of an eye, it runs through the west end of the island to the east end.
WALKING ALONGSIDE THE BRIDGE THIS MORNING CALLED "PUENTE DE SAN BERNARDO", LOCALLY KNOWN AS "PUENTE DE LOS BOMBEROS" (BRIDGE OF THE FIRE BRIGADE). BECAUSE THERE IS A FIRE BRIGADE STATION BELOW THE BRIDGE, I NOTICED A RAINBOW IN FRONT OF ME.

Three-wheeled 1965 Bond Minicar 250cc CDP360C at Stanway Classic Car Show in the grounds of Stanway House, Gloucestershire, on 20 September 2025. These microcars were manufactured by the British car manufacturer Sharp's Commercials Ltd (the company was renamed Bond Cars Limited in 1964), in Preston, Lancashire, between 1949 and 1966.
1934 American Austin Coupe built right here in Butler, PA
Sir Herbert Austin enjoyed success with his Austin Seven minicar in Britain with solid sales and much interest in the little cars. The narrow roadways and many towns in Britain was a very suitable location for such a small car. In 1929, Sir Herbert Austin brought his cars to the United States in hopes of selling a franchise. He was able to secure financial backing from bankers in western Pennsylvania and established the American Austin Car Company in Butler, PA.
To properly 'American-ise' the vehicles to appeal to the tastes of the American public, the cars were given flashier lines in a similar fashion to cars from Detroit. Hayes Body Company submitted proposals by Alexis de Sakhnoffsky, a Russian count who had become their art director. Soon the company began offering its roadsters and coupes. They advertised in a brochure with the illustration done by Esquire artist Lawrence Fellows. Possibly the most appealing aspect of the vehicle was its price tag, which started at $445 making it one of the most affordable vehicles on the market. Unfortunately, its competition was the similarly priced, yet bigger, Ford Model A.
The American Austin cars were given a Bantam rooster as its mascot which was placed on the radiator cap. Under the bonnet was an engine that was nearly an exact duplicate of the ones found in the British cars. The engine is a 45.6 cubic-inch L-head 4-cylinder unit with a single updraft carburetor offering 13 horsepower. There is a three-speed manual gearbox and four-wheel mechanical brakes.
As 1930 came to a close, a total of 8558 examples had been produced. The following year 1,279 were manufactured and the company entered into receivership. By 1934, production was halted. Shortly thereafter, Roy Evans, a Florida dealer, reorganized the company into the American Bantam Car Company and commissioned Sakhnoffsky to update the vehicle's styling.
The new Bantam car was introduced in late 1937 and production would last until World War II. During the War, the company was able to secure a contract with the US Army to produce the Jeep, however, their limited factory capacity meant they would soon lose the contract to Willys and Ford. For the duration of the war, the company produced utility trailers. When civilian production resumed, the company remained in business until 1956.

Sighnaghi, perched on a mountain ridge in eastern Georgia, is often called the "City of Love" — and for good reason. With its beautifully restored houses, charming alleys, and sweeping views over the Alazani Valley, this little town attracts not only tourists but also couples in love. In fact, Sighnaghi’s town hall is open 24 hours a day for weddings. The town is surrounded by an impressive 18th-century defensive wall with watchtowers, built during the reign of King Erekle II to protect it from invasions. Today, you can walk along parts of the wall and enjoy breathtaking views of the Caucasus Mountains in the distance. Beyond its historic architecture and cobblestone streets, Sighnaghi is also known as the gateway to Kakheti, Georgia’s famous wine region, where ancient winemaking traditions using clay vessels — qvevri — are still alive and well.
Though small, the town is rich in culture: you’ll find art galleries, the Niko Pirosmani Museum, and cozy family-run restaurants serving homemade wine and freshly baked khachapuri. Sighnaghi is a place made for slow walks, frequent pauses, and endless wonder — whether at the landscape or at life itself. In the photo, we see a quiet morning along the Chalaubani–Signagi–Anaga road. The warm sunlight casts long shadows, and the town's stillness is almost audible. It feels like a scene from a film — timeless and gently nostalgic.
Sighnaghi is a small Georgian hilltop town known for its romantic charm, historic walls, and stunning views over the Alazani Valley. Surrounded by vineyards and cobbled streets, it’s a cultural gem where weddings happen daily, wine flows freely, and time seems to slow down.
Sighnaghi, gelegen op een bergkam in het oosten van Georgië, wordt vaak de "City of Love" genoemd — en niet zonder reden. Met zijn prachtig gerestaureerde huizen, sfeervolle steegjes en panoramisch uitzicht over de Alazani-vallei, trekt het stadje niet alleen toeristen maar ook verliefde stelletjes aan die hier in het huwelijk treden: Sighnaghi’s stadhuis is namelijk 24 uur per dag open voor huwelijken. De stad is omgeven door een indrukwekkende stadsmuur met wachttorens, gebouwd in de 18e eeuw onder koning Erekle II om het tegen invallen te beschermen. Vandaag de dag kun je over stukken van die muur wandelen en genieten van het uitzicht op het Kaukasusgebergte in de verte. Naast de charme van zijn oude architectuur en geplaveide straten staat Sighnaghi ook bekend als toegangspoort tot de wijnregio Kacheti, waar eeuwenoude tradities van wijn maken in kleipotten — qvevri — nog steeds springlevend zijn. Hoewel het klein is, bruist het stadje van cultuur: je vindt er kunstgalerijen, het museum van Niko Pirosmani, en kleine familierestaurants waar huisgemaakte wijn en khachapuri op je wachten. Sighnaghi is een plek waar je langzaam wilt wandelen, vaak wilt stoppen, en steeds weer verrast wordt door het uitzicht — of het nu over het landschap is, of over het leven zelf. Op de foto zien we een rustige ochtend in de Chalaubani–Signagi–Anaga-straat. De warme zon werpt lange schaduwen, en de stilte van het stadje lijkt bijna hoorbaar. Het voelt als een scène uit een film — tijdloos en licht nostalgisch.
This A112 was waiting for the traffic lights to get green. It gave me the opportunity to take quick photos.

A few model vehicles from the Pickfords group. This was part of a display of models at the 2018 Festival of the Plough in North Lincolnshire, UK. This farming and countryside show always had a 'tent' that housed many different models, from cars like these to model fairground rides.
