楽しいミニ・カー Funky Miniature Car

May 13, 2009: 温泉タウン戸倉上山田 Onsen Town Togura-Kamiyamada

戸倉上山田温泉の写真屋さん、富岡さんがこの面白い車に乗ってきた。私が最初に見た時に、モーターバイクのサイドカーが独自で動いているように見えた。光岡が一時売ろうとした「ぶぶ」と言うミニカーだが、許可が下りなかったせいで販売が途中で中止になったそうです。
言わせて頂けたら、全ての町にこういう面白い車が必要。と言うより、こういう面白い車を乗る、富岡さんのような楽しい人が必要!
Togura Kamiyamada Onsen's funky photographer, Tomioka-san, stopped by driving this crazy contraption of a car. At first I thought it was a motorcycle side car without the motorcycle. Craft car maker Mitsuoka apparently tried selling these "mini-cars" called the "Bu-bu", but never got governmental approval, so production had to be stopped.
If you ask me, all towns need a funky car like the Bu-bu. Or rather, they need a funky man like Tomioka-san driving funky cars like this!
