Whenever my innards start to cringe at the increasingly louder thump, thump, thump indicating a big man in his BIG ride is going to drive past I turn to see a road-hugging, tiny little Audi crawl past. The driver inside nodding along to his street cruising ‘musik’. No more cruising commodores for me.
When the familiar roaring purr of a 4-wheel-drive barges its way into the tiny ‘smart car’ city traffic, the small circular Mercedes sign glints along with it. This time the driver glares out the tinted windows, defying anyone to question why the hell they’re driving a 4-wheel-drive in the middle of the city when the nearest hill is about 300km away somewhere in Poland. I guess if you’re going to have any such ridiculously sized cars in a city centre nice black mercs would top the list.
Then there’s the cute little VW police cars that zip along. If they weren’t icky green and white coloured (German police colours) then they might be my favourite.
As it stands though, if you exclude the millions of bikes charging all over the place, threatening to run you down if you walk on their side of the pavement (yes it’s split in two) which is hard to figure out mind you when there aren’t any little bike pictures painted on either side, I think the super mini ‘Smart’ cars that squeeze into spots you didn’t know were for parking are the types of cars I like here best.

If you look closely you can see me taking the photo in the reflection. Only a few trains on this line, the U2 i think, have these little mini Brandenburg gate pictures all over the windows.
Cute!
