And on Friday, a stunt show (but I only watched the beginning, after that it was too dark for pics with my camera :ohwell: )

Something very funny: the ad displayed just at the corner of that place:

(the text says that the car is at the same price as a bike)

I like that Chevy 210. It's kind of rare, even in the US, to see a 4-door tri-five.

Last summer I saw a yellow 1969 Dodge Charger at a small beach close to where my dad was born. The best part of the car was maybe the plate: a California plate with the text HRTATTAK :grin: Too bad I didn't have my camera with me :ohwell:

A couple of days ago I also saw this nice car: http://www.nettiauto.com/ferrari/355/2514218?sitelang=1 :smile: If I remember correctly, the owner of that dealership drives a DeLorean DMC-12, my dream car. There are also a couple of other quite rare cars in my home town, like a DeTomaso Pantera (I think it's the only one in Finland) and a lot of US cars. I think I really should start taking my camera with me :ddr555:

I was following this Audi (latest A4 I guess? It seems recent and I do not recognize the taillights), but it is not for the Audi that I took the pic...

Yes, a Ford Crown Victoria here in Brussels :smile:
Not easy to take a good picture with a cellphone at 120 km/h, luckily it was driving rather slow so I could pass the Audi and take a pic of the Ford.
I guess both were together: both had diplomatic plates (Belgian plate for the Ford, Luxembourgian plate for the Audi).

A little later I saw a GMC Savana, also with diplomatic plates. With original US taillights (red blinking light as turn indicator).

I think, the Audi is rather a brand new A8. For an A4 it's too big.

Do you can identify diplomatic cars by their number-codes on the plates, from which country they are?

With German diplomatic plates it's possible. There it's the number in the middle (code 0 - xxx - xxx).
I have a 0-111-27 in my collection. So this was the 27th car from the Polish embassy.

For Belgium I do not think there is any contry info in the plate, they are short:
CD + 4 numbers, or CD + 1 letter + 3 numbers, or CD + 3 numbers + 1 letter
For Luxembourg, no idea.

If I had seen a Crown Vic on the motorway I would had had a heart attack and a crash thereof because of the surprise it would be :grin:

Nice find Antoine, last Saturday I photographed a diplomatic Nissan Murano (which was US Spec) and I dont think we're able to tell the year or anything with it.

I found this photo of an 2007+ Expedition towing a race car on the freeway. But its no ordinary race car. The person who took the photo claims it is a Ford Fiesta (it has Ford on the back and looks like one, so I guess he is right?) What year model is it?

He also says is has a sticker on the back that says "ZETEC Inside"(a parody of Intel’s "Intel Inside" logo) You can barely see it though.

Fiesta Mk.1 sold in the US between 1978-1980. As it says Zetec the engine will probably be some kind of Ford inline four cylinder DOHC engine (much newer than the car itself).

Yes, it's a 1st gen Ford Fiesta.

It looks like tuned for slalom- or mountain-races. I didn't know, that these kind of races are known in the US, too.
Even today the drivers are using small classic cars for that, because they are shorter and lighter. Even 37 years after the production end you still can see many NSU TT there. The hardest rival of them is the 1st gen VW Polo, resp.Audi 50. The Polo from the 80ies is used there, too.


P.S. About Zetec: http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/kitcar/kb.php?aid=80

I saw a "Chrysler Caravan" today, I do not recall having seen this name mix :grin:
It looked like a EU-spec 3rd gen Dodge Caravan (i.e. same front as the Dodge)
Usually those were Chrysler Voyager here, no?

http://wikicars.org/en/Chrysler_Town_&_Country That site tells the Chrysler Caravan is sold in Argentina :grin: Maybe it's also possible that someone just changed the badge :smile:
My brother told me today that he got a ride in that DeLorean I talked about earlier :sol: He said it was just crap, but I'd still want one :bave:

My parents have just been on a cruise around the Western Mediterranean. Here's some cars they saw in Monaco:

2000 Rolls-Royce Corniche with BAS1L UK numberplate:

Lots of luxury cars in front of Casino Monte-Carlo and Hotel De Paris, including a Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe (under the white canopy):

This afternoon I saw a strange SUV. It lookes a bit like a shrinked Hummer, but it had a Toyota-logo on the grille.

Never seen before, but it had Russian plates, so probably not a car, which is sold here.
I haven't seen, if it was RHD or LHD. RHD may be possible, in Russia there are many of them directly imported from Japan.

Nono, it was rounder and more modern, more a lifestyle-SUV than a real offroader

You're probably referring to the FJ Cruiser.
