JLo and the Stadtautobahn
Okay, got your attention?
I had the pleasure of seeing Jennifer Lopez and Antonio Banderas on the red carpet at the premiere of ‘Bordertown’ during the Berlinale (Berlin Film Festival). We were quite well positioned - right beside where the cars stop and let the stars out and JLo even came over to us which send the crowd into hysterics.
I haven’t seen the film itself and by the sounds of it, I might never:

As for the Stadtautobahn, well I drove on the A100 briefly on Wednesday and several times today to get used to getting on and off. Sounds easy, but being in Berlin adds a few complications like: 2 lanes of traffic on the slip roads, tunnels and unlike normal motorways, there often isn’t space to indicate exits at 300m, 200m & 100m so you have to be a lot more aware. It’s like M50 for Berlin and one of the busiest roads in all of Germany. All that was in the Smart ForFour:
Now the car is a bit bigger but it seemed to get to 50km/h a lot faster than the Audi A3. Turns out the 1.5L diesel has an engine based on the 4-cylinder Mercedes A-Class but with 3 cylinders. Still don’t like the sound of diesel cars though…
Speaking of the A3, here it is in reality
and in the end I took a couple of snaps at the Berlinale too but only with a camera phone.
