My two current favourite cars !!!
The beetle is amazing ! Yeah, it has a WRX motor in there. The Abarth is just bonkers...everything from the suspension setup to the Yamaha bike engine

Off topic - the intriguing thing about this last picture is that America has embraced the fact that cars are much bigger now and their parking bays are sized accordingly. UK parking bays (4.8m x 2.4m) are now wholly inadequate for modern cars.
I recently had an Audi TT for a short time and found it almost impossible to get in or get out of the thing in supermarket car parks as the doors are HUGE!
On topic - great pics Chris

Basement accommodation has a secure lockable door...I'll be quite safe.
Seriously though Portland is great...Coast, Mountains, Rivers, Arty, Music, most micro-brews per capita, most strip-bars per capita...Whats not to like
