The Bunny Bungalow: Isetta

My Dream Car

This is my miniature 250 Isetta, a BMW redesign with traveling trailer, which is always parked on my bookshelf, next to my Frida Kahlo books. You've seen it before. Also, I did a photo shoot of a car show in June of 2008 which had a wonderful yellow Isetta.

This Isetta is too cute for words. Just wish it were life size!

Added thought: Legend has it that the little Isetta saved BMW once; I believe the timing is such that it could do so again. The little car that could!

The Fifth Annual Classy Chassis™

Bugatti

Here in Houston yesterday, Tall Husband and I attended the 2008 Classy Chassis Concourse Automotive Event, benefiting United Cerebral Palsy.

These people really know how to put on a show. The magic began as we drove through the gates of the Reliant Stadium: Tall Husband was driving his silver BMW Z4 and headed toward a distant parking area when a Classy Chassis volunteer waved us over and directed us to a parking spot just steps from the exhibit hall entrance. We were confused and asked if we could really park there, "Yes, you're driving a BMW!" came the answer.

This event was Bugatti heaven as Bugatti was selected to be the featured marque this year. There was a world-class collection of more than twenty vintage Bugattis on display, one of the largest ever assembled in the United States.

Here are photos of some of the Bugattis and other vintage beauties. Enjoy the ride!
