Fiat 500 Launch

On our way to Yo Sushi, that’s right second time in a week for me 🙂 , Pat and I noticed that there was something going on near the London Eye. In fact, this something had completely taken it over. Turns out it was the Fiat 500 Launch. I didn’t notice it at the time but apparently as part of their launch a Fiat 500 is going to occupy one of the pods for a couple of weeks.

Clearly we didn’t have tickets but on the way out after dinner we could hear The Feeling performing (and later across the river Mika performaing.) And then apparently at 8pm, exactly 500 hours into the new year, there was a bit of a light show. I’m not sure about lighting up the whole of the Thames but from the other side of the river, when we were walking back to the tube station, we did see lots of flames go up into the sky.

Just near the entrance to the event they also had the little Fiats sitting in a nice long row. They were so cute! No photos however. I also tried to take some footage of The Feeling performing but it was so windy that the audio was completely wiped out by the raging winds.
