to feel different,unique. 
i see some RHD Nissan 300ZX ( or Fairlady ), Toyota Supra, Honda CRX or Toyota Soarer sometimes here while their NA counterparts are available, costing less but " so common " since they are LHD. i can understand if the vehicle is not in sale in the country ( saw a Toyota Sera here about 2 years ago )or have major differences between markets,it gives some kind of exclusivity but when the same vehicle is available in your country its kind of non-sense to me.
Of course, since a JDM car has the steering wheel on the same side as the UK and that its counterpart is available, makes that kind of purchase almost useless or at least a little weird.
but there is weird people all around the world....
sorry if its not well written , it was looking better in french in my head than in english on the screen

On my day trip to Berlin today I spotted many unusual vehicles for which Berlin is famous for, including two US-spec Fiat 124 Spiders, a Lancia Kappa (not Coupe unfortunately 
) a Mercedes R170 in a horrible shade of orange-metallic....and this:

don't worry, its not better in North America..... 
I made an appointment with a Car buyer today to pickup my Chrysler Stratus. By an almost impossible coincidence the trailer of the buyer was pulled by a Chrysler Voyager! This was not planned and the buyer does not buy only american makes, so this is just crazy.
The Voyager was so sad about the "wounded" brother that he refused to start. Even several start atttempts were unsuccessful. Only a Start-Aid Spray helped to overcome the sadness. Is that the proof that cars do have feelings?
And my car is going on his last Voyage with a Voyager. This must be fate!

A yellow Plymouth with an old-timer plate:
I suspect it is the same as that one I saw some time ago:
Not very far from there (2km), then I wonder: did the owner sell it or did he just change the licence (from regular plate to old-timer)

Chrysler vehicles helping each others is a common thing here too except that this one already knew that his ancestor was suffering because it had no problem to start. i took this in a car exhibition in Terrebonne last september

saw a 1980-1981( not exactly sure of the year but looks exactly like them ) Honda Accord hatchback today but as i was driving, no pics but was in pretty good shape for a 35 years old car.
on the funny side, 2 1st Gen CTS ( a black and a white ) same version, both were in front of me and both were having the left brake bulb light burned.
why is interesting/funny car sightings always happens when i can't take pics ??

Well, you should always have a camera or a mobilephone with camera-function with you. Even on shortest trips, even when you go to the bakerman or the postbox.
Since I began with taking photos for my license-plate-freaks and -of course- for my IMCDb-fellows
- I put always my camera in the pocket. Yes, even for the 100 meter-walk to the bakerman. When I'm driving car, I always have placed the camera handy on the middle-console.For that purpose I got a camera in pocket-size and with an extra fast release last year as Christmas present.
Because every time, when I don't have the camera with me, I miss some outstanding motifs, for example some weeks ago a scooter with Greek plates in front of the supermarket
yeah, i'll try to remember the camera for something else than car shows... 
as for the cell phone, no chance because i don't have one and if i had and get caught using it while driving, it will cost me 120-140 $ and 4 demerit points ( which makes you pull more money from your pocket when you renew your driver licence and they stay on your record for 2 years, meaning paying extra money 2 times ).
not sure about camera only but i don't think its allowed either
problem is precisely when i'm driving that i see something, when i walk nothing interesting comes in sight...
what about dash cams, can they do pics also or just video ?
another solution might be to get a friend as a " co-pilot " taking pics for me but knowing them i'll end up with 100 girls and 2,3 cars in my camera...
