Microcars at the 2009 Atlanta Auto Show (USA)

27 of them in 9000 square feet of space!

I was there this weekend with the cars and I am not exaggerating when I say that they were the hit of the Auto Show.
People came up to me and said the only reason they came to the show was to see these microcars!
(the Auto Show has been advertising this quite a bit)
some other local club members may be there throughout the week to man the table and answer questions.

after this, it is the NY Auto Show with 1 million visitors!
(we will only have 3-4 cars there though....no room, it is New York City after all...)

Last time I was there I saw something extraordinary. Walking along either 5th Avenue or Madison Avenue, the financial/expensive area midweek afternoon I spotted a little Austin A 40 casually cutting through the NY traffic. They're a fairly rare sight in ENGLAND these days, but to see it there, (and they are quite small) just looked TOTALLY surprising and bizzarre. You can imagine someone might drive a really odd thing like a bubble, but such a "mundane" little car was just amazing
