We knew it was an Arzens car but "Le carrosse" is news. I checked that in my books and you're right. Thanks.
Well chosen name. It does remind me of Queen Elizabeth II's  coronation I must say.
However, I am not sure that this can get you a point, as this is not the challenge here. And I can be (see above) a "stingy bastard".

But I'll be happy to give you one for any picture or a "woman" lifting a microcar. She can even look like Mr T, it's OK.

It decidedly seems that Paul Arzens liked to lift his own cars. Here is a picture where he applies that treatment to "L'Oeuf".
I found it myself :hyper: but I'm not eligible for another point  :shakehead:

Ah - the egg! I'm sure he could flip it over, easy.

That was one of our first-over puzzles here, over two years ago. What a long, strange trip it's been.  O0

I am happy to let you all know that, having found two car-lifter friends, Allemano just scored twice and so reached his first hundred points.

Thank you very grazie!

Appreciated and amusing, neilshouse, but irrelevant. I have a picture of myself lifting a ladder but I don't believe I would  accept it either.

Every time I read this line.... :lmao:

I used to like them. Like so many other fringe bands, after one big hit, it all went to hell...

Having found 3 more pics of people lifting microcars, Paul Jaray is entitled to 3 more points (as if he needed them...) But, careful: this puzzle is about micro-cars. Two of yours, if not really "micro" are just quite small, but I'llaccept them this time. As for your third and fifth pictures, Paul, they bring you peanuts: the 3rd for showing SEVERAL men lifting a car. The 5th because, if I already eventually accepted men instead of women, gorillas are definitely OUT!
As for Bezor's proposal... it's a woman alright (and what a woman!), but the car is definitely full-size. Besides, see the first page, I had already rejected it.

Here's a good one, but I don't know if it qualifies (I made the rules, I know, but this one leaves me speechless.)

Yep - it's a Norwegian picture which is nicely cropped right where you'd see that the truck is trying to lift something that's a bit too heavy (can't remember what though).

I was about to say "the different gets you a points, but the two same take it back.
Then, I re-read the rules, who say that every picture gets you a point.
So here it is.
