Winter in Austria

[ViennaSound]

Brrrrr, the last days it is awful cold! :annoyed:

But time to post a few pics

Most cars in our street under snow:

Also the poor bikes under the snow: :'-(

old locomotive:

driving to a friend on the countryside:

in the village much more snow:

also in my garden, the scooters under snow:

the LADA likes the snow more:

tram in the snow:

on tour with our nostalgic wagon:

I like the winter, but summer is nicer.

Reason?

:vespa: ... i want to go outside!

roman you live in a awesome country. in fact i would trade here for there in a instant.
i know it is not cheap to live there but vancouver is now officially the least affordable city in the world.

Yo, seen the most on lissabon´s elevadores!
Because they have no depot and stay day+night on the road...

Glad we have not much damage, but sometimes:

I love graffitis, but please not that way!

Considering all the things we have to contend with here in Detroit, surprisingly, grafitti isn't one of them. Of course, neither is public transportation!

(I mean, who needs buses and trains when you can lease a new Ford Fusion for no money down and just $230 a month?!?)
:annoyed:

 

[redbenjoe]

boomdaloo
in detroit-----after they car jack your fusion
are you still on the lease ??

 

[Boom Shaka Laka]

Car jackings are no problem! Insurance (both auto and medical) covers that. Try getting insurance to cover this...

(Could this be why our public transportation is so infrequent and unreliable?)

Almost forgot to share a snapshot of January in Detroit. A real Winter Wonderland, don't you think?

Boomaloo...

Can´t imagine vienna without tram , bus or subway!
The city would be dead!
There is not so much place for all those cars were needed to move the people.
We have worlds lowest floor trams, and also one of the oldest running around.

Here a few pics for boomaloo

Line 2 in the city:

The 2 middle types are now out of order :'-(

depot 10.district (near to my house):

And for winter the snowcar:

Love those trams! No trams here... or rail transportation of any kind. But not to worry. Detroit city buses serve this bustling metropolis!

But... there was a time, long ago...

 

[ViennaSound]

Wow, those cars were beautiful!

btw: did you know vienna bought many old trams from america?
After the world war was so many destruction here, we bought nearly all cars of the closed tram in New york.

Here the cars were only called: The American!

but this needs an own thread!
The americans runned till the 70´s, one survived in the depot... and was forgotten.
2009 it was pulled out again, restored and is back on track!

I want a room in my house that looks like that. Dreamy!

 

[ViennaSound]

I will take a look inside next time!

I remember they had an little museum inside.
Hope it´s still alive.

Or i offer them a few ones to buy back...
