This week’s whimsy is brought to you by a car named ‘Whimsy’.
"Whimsy" is a 1958 Citroen 2CV art car created by owner Bill Stevenson (the man in the funny hat) and artists David Cedrone, Dan Britton, Jo Martyn-Fisher and Edith Tucker.
You can read more about ‘Whimsy’ on this rather retro webpage.
Please share any bits and pieces you have come across recently that have surprised, delighted, intrigued or otherwise positively engaged you.
NB: the weekly whimsy thread is a stoush-free zone
What a great Citroen. It’s almost not hideous.
Hey, hey, don’t knock the “douche-shove-oh”. Bet it will still be around long after we have become archeological specimens …. same goes for the “vee-wee” beatle and, perhaps, the Lada Niva.
… and Julie Bishop, Graham.

“DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!”
“Uh… yeah. I just said, ‘Mr. Shyamalan’.”
