Rome S3
Was in Rome for the first time last week ... talk about small cars. Funny that all these loud outgoing people are driving cars that make the original mini look mid-size. The parking is so bad that anything big could never find a place to park - they have these little SMART cars that are shorter in length than the width of most of our cars - they often parked vertically between other cars.
Anyway - saw a lot of Audi's, mainly A3's. Seemed to be more Audi's than bimmers, likely because BMW doesn't make anything small enough.
Nothing really caught my eye until the last day there when I saw a S3 parked outside our hotel - took a couple pics that didn't turn out well, but its a nice little two door hatchback with fat tires.
My only is comment is E S K I M O S, finally again.

Small cars
Narrow streets, small parking - small cars makes sense. Friend in Germany working with Daimler Chrylser (lucky sob) is looking at getting a Mercedes A-class in the very near future.
Also got an ex-Torontonian living in the UK driving one of these.

Though I think he's already tired of it already :-)
EDITED: Oh ya, congrads to the Eskimo's. Rooted for the west to win. Was actually hoping to see the Sask Roughriders (my home team) make it to the Grey Cup... close..... oh well.
