FrankWe took Harry and Haruki to a kei car meet this morning, in the winter cold. Harry's an A truck, but he's the size of a kei truck, right?
A tiny thread for tiny cars. 🧵
Saw this fabulous RS N One again, which we've seen at other events. Had a chat with the owner, who brought the very first N One into Australia back in 2020. He got to drive the Super One when it was here!
We got to the meeting point a bit late so were not there long. Some people had other places to go to, most of us went for a little drive and had lunch booked in at a venue nearby.
So we climbed back into our cars and off we went for the cutest drive ever.
Haruki's brother, a Honda S660, turned up just as we were driving off, and caught up with us at a stop. These are SO CUTE!
One of the few times you can make Harry and Haruki look big is by parking next to an S660. Or an Autozam.
We headed for the lunch place, which was on the other side of the Yarra River.
We discovered the bridge across the river was temporarily closed and needed to go drive around through inner city Melbourne to the other side so went for another drive. Amused and surprised many pedestrians with Harry.
When we got to the car park on the other side it seems half of Melbourne were there and no parking was available bar for Haflingers who can park anywhere. So we nicked off home to have lunch by ourselves.
Meanwhile, got to see under the bonnet and deck lid of a 660! Very little space for shopping.

Basmitharts@vwdasher How common are those over there?
@Basmitharts supppppper rare, I've only seen like three before now! Weirdly, the owner was telling us how he lives out in regional Victoria in a country town. Yet there's another one near his place.
