NC clay ...

yeah I go up to Uwharrie twice a year (Apr and Oct) and spend the rest of the year cleaning that clay off the rig

This evening I saw a Pontiac 6000 LE:


Recently my father found this Chevrolet. I guess it is a Malibu of late 70s / early 80s?



And a Peugeot 203:

That's an Impala (1977). Malibu is smaller.

Why does the Peugeot have two different plates?

Nice finds!

I did not notice that the plates were different
Rear one is a real one. I guess that he did not yet made the copy for the front, and that the current one is either the plate from the previous owner or a plate of another car of that owner.

I saw a dark colored Suzuki Esteem sedan ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_Esteem ) with a police lightbar today in a small town south of Wilmington. Funniest thing I encountered all day, sadly I didn’t have my digital camera handy. It had NC tags so it could be a local car. I’ll keep my camera with me incase I see it again.

I need to take some pictures of our police cars. Because of the tourist heading to the Outerbanks we have some wierd police cars both marked and un marked including:

Nissan Titans (marked), Toyota Camry (marked), VW jetta (unmarked), plus we have a few of the usual unmarked cars- Firebirds, Impalas, Mustangs, etc.

The unusual things about our unmarked cars is that they have out-of-state plates so they really blend in.

1999 TVR Cerbera:



Mercury Villager:



pic is small because the car was a little far: it is not easy to take a pic while driving on a highway, and the quality of cellphone picture does not help.

I should mention this NOT normal towing here in the 'States.
The tow vehicle is a 1992-1996 Ford F-250 SuperCab XLT

That doesn't look like a Ford Expedition mirror...

Wow. I guess a stripped airframe doesn't way very much? It's still very impressive to tow something so large with a consumer market pickup. How much more of it was there beyond the picture?

@ taxiguy

I didn’t take this picture (someone posted it via link on pickuptrucks.com)

I took these pictures in Norfolk, VA (this is the house next door to my mother in laws) I know the convertible MG is not rare or unusual at all but I have never seen a MGB GT before

They should've seen the pickup I saw earlier this week. It was a Ford F-450 towing a huge construction tractor with a front-end shovel. Not as big as that airplane frame, mind you, but still it's the kind of thing you'd expect to be towed by an F-650 at the very least(or some other medium-duty truck).

I am so sorry I never got a picture of this.

Seen this morning:



What is it? Ford Fairlane?

The car itself is not rare, but look at the license plate

@ IRT_BMT_IND
Is that a northwest territories "bear" plate ?



Looks like a Ford Fairlane Skyliner retractable hard top

@ Neptune
Yes it is. It's one hell of a drive from the Northwest Territories, 2.5 days according to Google maps, (including a drive across a frozen river during the winter),to southern Ontario.
