I paint my car black, add some nice decals on the side, then someone goes and crashes into it, sending me into the car in front and crushing my motor!

I know it's possible to drive an f1 car on the ceiling at 60mph but didn't know the fortwo had similar aerodynamic properties :)

Looks the right way up to me...

And yes, it sounds lovely!  Shame it's so slow.  Well, compared to mine.

Sounds lovely cos it has a simple induction kit on it (fed with fresh air),
and it's only slower than yours cos it's a non-turbo ! But dunarf go just the same.  :D
Handles well cos of the Schmidt wheels n good tyres, plus Brabus suspension and
S2's own performance brakes.  Not bad for a courtesy car eh ?

I was impressed.  My first time inside a F2, let alone driving one!

Strange experience for a while, but soon got used to it.  Lots of people stop and stare...

It's upside down for me :)

Did you rotate it the right way up in photobucket? Can sometimes take a while to change on places the image is hosted.

No it was upside down on my PC, opened it and flipped it before uploading to my web server.
