The amphitheatre cat44 viewsI caused quite a stir when I noticed the Amphitheatre Cat having a drink of water from a bowl then laying down in the sun.
I switched my camera on to take a picture, just as a group of Japanese tourists were walking by. Noticing the object of my interest, they called out to each other to come and see the "neko". Soon the poor little moggy was the object of a dozen of camera lenses...
Most amphitheatres had one or more cats to keep mice and rats away from the horse feed, which was stored belowdane

Goodbye to Arles535 viewsA last look back to the gate in the city wall before walking to the station to catch my train home. And if you're ever in Arles, go through these gates and stop at the café on the right. They make the most delicious omelettes and salads in the entire town.dane

CAT Fiat 600261 viewsRudi built this fabulously aerodynamic fibreglass / polyester bodywork for the Fiat 600 car as one of his first ever projects. Weight: 38 kg with integrated fuel tank. In the photo the bodywork still needs to be smoothed, filled and painted.dane

CATVAN278 viewsWe built the CATVAN on a Citroen DS21 chassis and used it to transport the racing sidecar outfit all over Europe. Using a fibreglass bodywork and a re-routed steering mechanism so that the driver and passenger could sit in front of the front axle, the vehicle was not only spectacular, but stable, fast and light.
The interior was fitted out like a caravan with kitchen, table, seating area and the roof could be raised for more headroom.
The CATVAN is now in the possession of a French sidecar racer.dane

CAT Puma downhill bike491 viewsThis is the CAT Puma downhill bike which Rudi built as a very small series. As far as I can remember only about 6 or 7 were built. We still have one and our son-in-law has one.
It had specially modified CAT front forks and CAT three spoke wheels. The bike, which had 10cm suspension length front and rear (almost unheard of at the time) weighs only 11.9 kg ready-to-go.
