Did not expected to see a Toyota Land Cruiser today ( in fact, i never expect to see vehicles that weren't sold here... ) . From what i can see from internet, looks to be 2003-2005 ( please tell me if i'm wrong as i don't have them in my books ).





In the same Walmart parking lot was that 2016 Chevy Volt. wasn't supposed to take that direction but had to because of a guy who wanted my parking spot ( you know, that type of driver who wants your place but give you about half an inch to get out from that space... ). Despite the parking being really crowded i was totally alone for a few seconds, enough to get the pic ( sorry about not getting a front one, i wasn't gonna try my luck on the other side .....


People may say what they want of Walmart , their parking lots are a good source of interesting vehicles...

Funny you should say that, as I'm writing a novel about a...let's just say...guy who goes on a trans-Canada journey and has just stopped at Wal-Mart. His car: a red 1990 Canadian-spec Lada Samara.

Nice choice of car.... he might have the last one that still run... at least concerning the red ones

It's been a while ( a big while ) since the last one i saw... the last i remember was a grey one owned by one of my friends brother ( who changed it few years later for a 1993 Mazda MX-6 Mystere LS )

I'll keep an eye open, we never know.... might see one..

Most expensive car I've encountered in the wild! McLaren P1:


1968 Ford LTD:



(I love old badges)

Chevrolet Aveo [T250] v. portable generator:


There's a tow yard near where I live (that's one of their tow trucks in the Aveo picture above). They always have a mix of totaled wrecks, impounds, etc. that are in holding before presumably being released, auctioned, or sent on one final tow to the junkyard. Sometimes they have cars that look like they were sitting in yards or garages for decades before being towed away (they had a first-generation Lotus Esprit and a Citroen SM like that once). What's behind the fence today?


Is it?



It is!


1952 Studebaker




Beware of Guard Cats


I started a new job in mid-December. The good news is, the commute is a wonderfully short 3 miles. The bad news is, my Christmas present may not get much of a workout:

I bet the guy behind the McLaren thinks : " no matter what happens... stop in time ! "


About the dashcam... might not see too much interesting ones when going to work ( but you never know..). Is your big cat's dashboard ( my grandfather had a 1978 one when i was a liitle kid and it seems so big ) a good place for it ( if it can easily be removed and installed in another car ) ? I remember last year when i went to auto show, we were a little bit late and i missed bunch of classics ones that were in the opposite direction, leaving the site

Three rarities in one pic! https://e-a.d-cd.net/4bb3c9u-960.jpg

If it were from a movie, which car should we have listed?

The Lada building itself is a rarity too..

Would be tough fight between the Merkur Scorpio and the Alfa Romeo 164. My vote goes to the Scorpio. Still have more fingers than i need to count the ones i saw...and did not counted in years
Did not saw many 164 either but i might be tricked by the fact that someone in my area had one a long time ago......
The little Spider, every summer let us see some of those nice little convertibles..
The Niva is also a rarity now but i saw many of them when they were sold here
Since they're both really visible.... create a page for both

Saw this one a few days ago. I first thought they were 2005 only but i discovered that some early 2006 also wears the name. Did not saw one in a while, or they were hiding in a bunch of G5.... funny that since i took the pic i saw 3 other ones...


Hey, look who is here, its our K-buddy...


The pic could have been better if i wasn't in a hurry and forgot the camera in the car...once again... well, at least it changes from forgetting to take it out from my pocket when i sit in the car...
Seen but no pic : early to mid 80's Chevy K-Blazer ( driving ) Infiniti J30 ( was so surprised to see one that i did not react quickly enough ) and tonight i had a BMW i3 in front of me for a few kilometers ( driving ) .. weird tailights at night..

Just curious, why Reliant/Aries K ? was there ever a non-K version of them ?

I have never heard of Pontiac Pursuit!

Seen this morning while commuting to work (but no photos, sorry) : a restored Simca 1000, and a Mitsubishi Canter flatbed truck loaded with the rusted shell of a Citroën H van ! No doors or windows, just the body. Maybe it'll become the latest hipster-magnet foodtruck in a few months ?

The Pursuit name didn't last long and there is more G5 than Pursuit. http://www.imcdb.org/vehicles.php?resultsStyle=asImages&yearFrom=&yearTo=&makeMatch=- 1&make=pontiac&modelMatch=1&model=pursuit&modelInclModel=on&modelInclChassis=on&mk=- &origin=&madein=&madefor=&role=

If it wasn't for the " G-everything " idea from Pontiac, probably they would be named Pursuit for the whole model life

Now that's nice. Does anyone remember that late-1960's Ford Galaxie 500 I saw in a nearby library parking lot?



I've been kind of hesitant about getting a new dash-cam. I want one, but the only ones that are capable of handling SD cards with more than 4G capacity are too damn expensive. I already give my own point and shoot Nikon Coolpix S3600 a workout, so you know I'd give any random dash cam one too.

the one I bought years ago handles well a 32 GB SD card and cost only 50$ back then.

Did I mention that when I drove up to the New York Tri-State area that I spotted a Morris Minor Traveler with RHD in Orient, New York? Of course, not. Do you know why? Because the only shot I was able to get turned out like total crap!

Just arrived!!! 2016 Opel Astra

Love it...

The same day I saw that Morris station wagon, I also saw this at the Orient Point Ferry Port. It's a 2002-2007 Chevy Silverado 1500 towing a 1965 Aristocrat Lo-Liner!

• Seen some days ago, a 1960-65 Renault Goélette:

50 to 55 years old, and still used a removal truck. No reason to uselessly gather dust in a garage

• Seen during the last monthly VW air-cooled meeting (this month in the new premises of the local VW air-cooled garage/shop):

1967 T1c	1973-74 1303

This was done long before the Splits reached astronomical prices, but it still hurts:

The aim was to decorate a bar...
(As usual, click on the pictures)

Here's the back of that trailer. I thought it was a Shasta until I got a closer look.

Seen today... 1990-1991 Honda Civic ..... not as common as it used to be...




and a rare 2010-2012 Lexus HS250h. According to my books , probably around 200-250 units sold here in the whole life of the car ( as it was not in my 2013 book i don't have the numbers for 2012 but sales are 160 cars for 2010-2011 ). Now really at myself for being too lazy to walk an extra 20 feet to get a front shot....
