I have seen some of these photos posted before.. but some are new.. and many are railroad related.  The photos are from the Library of Congress.

Oh, no worries...it's no ordinary Volvo (though it is an "estate" body, as you Brits call it).....it came special order from Sweden. Grin (That is why the safety is such a nice feature. Grin )

Hi Marc,

If you are going ahead with your Volvo, maybe after I get with my Smart.



But the best we tested only with the original.

Hello Chuck,

for there are smart to buy a lot of tuning parts and the increase in the loading area is also included.
So I doubled the volume of luggage.
Of course, everything checked with an official permit.

For me but not for the cat but my dog.

Gerald, it's real. I took the photo yesterday, down at the "X-Games" in Los Angeles. They will be driving it on Sunday (will also be broadcast on TV). It's hard to see, but in the first image, there is one of the cars in the lower left corner. I don't know exactly what they are doing, because all around it are pit bays/paddocks and race support trucks for numerous world rally teams. Watched them unloading some of the cars.

Check it out here, a looping is really possible with a car and with my Smart I have even a better Cahnce how heavy a car.

The only problem is the stability of the ground-looping.

Neat smart you have there. Cute dog.  Yes, you would definitely stand a better chance.....I may have you on horsepower and speed.....but my wheelbase is too long, and the car is too low to the ground....I would get stuck.....unless it was a much larger diameter loop  Grin
