Saw a Wildfire in town today

In town, I spotted it coming up from behind in the lane beside me. I'd never heard nor seen of them before. I took off slowly from the light to let it pass me so I could take a look. Sort of the way people gawk at my car, I reckon. This vehicle is tiny!

EDIT: I changed to a YouTube video.

Oh sorry! Mine crashed too, but I thought it was because I had like, 3 windows and 24 tabs open. Rats. I didn't suspect the web site, don't recall having a site crash Firefox before.

Wildfire - what's wild and where's the fire?

OMG - it's a 21st century Cushman scooter with a cab, two doors, a truck bed and AM/FM cassette.



Not a whole lot of technology nor safety going into this "vehicle."

NCC... was it floating down the street?? You probably need an outboard motor for your smart right about now.

I found a site for Wildfire Motors . I found the part where the truck is. WF650-T Here is a passenger van version; WF650-C It reminds me of the Xebra.

OMG, BigWarp, the site you linked to is the link I removed from my original post. It seemed to crash both mine and fpage77's browsers. Perhaps a fluke.

The Wildfire sure does resemble the Zebra. They've even both got truck and 'mini van' versions.

I viewed it on my eComStation computer and have no problem with it. I have used my Win Vista computer to view the site without problems. The common denominator is SeaMonkey; Mozilla browser.

They even have a Smart wannabe; 5 variations.
