Need help...

[Jonathan Poll]

Hello,

  I need help for the RUMcars site...

We have a great idea for the Galery page, and I need you for it!

Can anyone here give me the list of countries that micros where produced in within Europe?

I can add every europe country, but then realise I done loads of work on pages that never had micros, so if anyone has the list, it may be easier!

It can be a list of all countries, since I will need it anyway.

Thanks in advance, JP

I like the new photo. I did a lot of work on a list on Wikipedia some years back "Microcars by country of origin" which might help you to get started with a list of countries  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_microcars_by_country_of_origin. But do you need to set up separate pages now on the new site or could you not add them as and when you have the images to fill them? You might have images of one or two cars from 3 or 4 countries which might work better on one page under "Europe others" or something similar rather than large pages with a small image or conversely, you might have 3 or 4 pages of images of cars from just one country.

Hi,

  I will make drop down menus on the tab "Gallery". They will be the continents, then there will be sub drop down menus, with the countries, then you choose which one you want, then it will bring you to a page with just the name of each car. Click on the name, and you will have photos and description.

Ask Rusty Chrome, since I don't know how he saw it!

Well, I will ask Chris, I think it is finished.

There are better search engines than Google!

Well I saw it on the LED screen of Chris's camara up a step ladder on Sunday but it would be nice to see the real image.

There, just removed the site from search engines, so no one can sneak peak

I dont know when you saw it, since its version 3, you probably saw versipn 2.

As for micro producing countries i know of UK, France, Holland, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Argentina, Switzerland, Austria, Spain, Portugal (I think I recall a Potugoose), Yugoslavia (Fiat 500s and 600s under the Yugo and Zastava names), Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Romania, Greece.

I do not know if any were made in Belgium, Luxembourg, Lichtenstein, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Andora, Malta, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania or Estonia.

Argentina has clearly gate-crashed the above list, and can drive off in its Dinarg, and Tango elsewhere.

Microcars in every country... Assica in Greece, Bumbi in Argentina, FeKeF in Sweden, Bumbino in Holland, Nob in UK, fu**amobil in German (Of course I masked the L and D ), and more!

I can remove the comment if it is too rude, just couldnt resist!

 I can think of even ruder replys but they really would get the forum closed down. Come back and see me when you're 18 Jonathan....  

 But then again, nothing beats this thing below for naughty names.

Might be better collecting scooters guys. You can have a Faka with your fav Sach engine or from the French, sponsored by the well known fuel company, the Total Bastert. Both a rare but I know for a few of each among the Microcar collectors worldwide don't you know?

Well, check out what I saw on my trip to Aland for the micro rally...

I also saw in the shops, a Lego Zundapp Janus! Doesnt look much like it, but remember the one you spottedin Disney Pixar's Cars II?

Here it is! http://www.lego.com/cars/en-us/Default.aspx?icmp=COFranchiseUSCars#307846

Dear Jonathan

Is it me or is there nothing remotely funny about any of the four images that you have posted. They appear to have nothing to do with microcars. The Finnish Language is an ancient and noble language and I think that suggesting that it is in any way funny may be offensive to them. May I suggest that you look at the translation of signs into English.
