Righty, well this weekend, whilst you all were (hopefully) enjoying the Retro Rides Gathering, sadly I was whisked away at the last minute to Prague by my family. I therefore made up for it by taking as many photos as possible of anything I saw of interest. This could take a while...
Firstly, a couple of pics taken the evening of arrival...

Next morning, and we set off round Prague to seehow many retro cars we could find the tourist sights ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
Skoda:
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/4.jpg)
Citroen:
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/5.jpg)
Segway and vintage car (more of these to come)
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/6.jpg)
Skoda Felicia..
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/7.jpg)
Taxi looked ace... I never saw it carry a fare the whole time we were there...
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/10.jpg)
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/9.jpg)
Bollards...
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/11.jpg)
Another Felicia...
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/12.jpg)
Prague had several Felicias and quite a few vintage cars giving 'city tours' to tourists... absolutely brilliant to see them all plodding slowly round the city![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
Old, but not car related...
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/13.jpg)
and neither was this balloon... you'd never get me up in one of those things...
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/14.jpg)
Sightseeing car...
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/15.jpg)
And another...
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/16.jpg)
And another...
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/17.jpg)
And another...
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/18.jpg)
A posh Art Gallery...
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/19.jpg)
Hmm.
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/20.jpg)
Back to retro cars, it is that Felicia again... with another vintage car behind it.
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/22.jpg)
View from a church tower...
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/23.jpg)
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/24.jpg)
Not quite my colour...![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/25.jpg)
More sightseeing...
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/26.jpg)
Prague seemed to have more than its fair share of these...
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/27.jpg)
As day turned to evening, people were still mad enough to be up in the tethered balloon...
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/28.jpg)
And as evening turned to night, more interesting cars came out...
'67 mustang, being driven a bit too 'enthusiastically' for my camera to keep up
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/29.jpg)
Party Grill Boats - a BBQ grill in the middle, and you could float around whilst having a grill on the river![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png)
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/30.jpg)
And last for that evening, a big old lorry...
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/31.jpg)
Next morning, and the temperatures were heading for the warm side of 30 degrees... they had trucks driving round spraying the roads with water... and guess what turns up again.
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/32.jpg)
Followed by...
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/33.jpg)
An LT carrying a Felicia...
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/34.jpg)
Skoda van...
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/35.jpg)
And more Skodas...

R5...

VERY clean Golf looked rather out of place.

And more Skoda content...

Triple cool points for Fluorescent green wheels...
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/43.jpg)
And another Skoda...
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/44.jpg)
We arrived at the Technical museum...
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/45.jpg)
Not going anywhere in a hurry
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/46.jpg)
Which turned out to be the agricultural museum... having turned the map round the right way, we found the technical museum.
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/47.jpg)
Closed until 2010![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png)
Ho Hum. They are meant to have loads of old railway locos and cars in there. Nevermind.
Non stop parking???
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/48.jpg)
Clean Renault was only spotted thanks to the museum being shut...

Rat look in the Czech Republic (part 1)

Metronome on the hilltop overlooking Prague.
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/51.jpg)
Apparently there used to be a statue of Stalin instead, but that was (unsurprisingly) removed.
Coach.
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/52.jpg)
No idea what this was, but it was tiny, loud and smoky.![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)
![](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/jdiwell/Prague/53.jpg)
More to come tomorrow (we're about 1/3 of the way through), when I've had some decent sleep and organised my thoughts a little better... apologies if the content of this post makes sense![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)
