Isolation in remote islands keeps old vehicles around in great numbers, like Cuba. But did you hear about the Maltese busses?

a commentor says "by March 2011, sadly most of them will come to end when the proposed transport reform takes place in the coming year.
You can help to save the Malta Buses by signing the petition below:

Here's a new way to do self guided tours of a few cities... San Diego, San Fran, Miami, Barcelona, and Lisbon

A bit pricey to me, 1st hour $49, 2nd hour $39, Each additional hour $29

But a pretty cool way to zip around the city and enjoy the perfect San Diego weather, a Time Magazine "Invention of the Year", and the typical GPS guided tour is an hour and a half: http://www.gocartours.com/sandiego/sandiego-tours-downtown.html
