This morning I've seen two Cadillac Escalade's, in slightly damaged condition on a Lithuanian truck with a trailer, going Eastwards on the A2.

I cannot see, where there were from, because they had no plates and no oval country-stickers anymore. Due the size of the back plate-space, surely somewhere from Europe.

From today - 1978-82 PF 126p 650 in original condition, even with badges at the rear wings:

EDIT: Site lost the pics - dead links have been removed.

Alfa well protected against theft :

And very rare today early Polonez (with a bit newer mirrors):

I saw quite an unusual SUV yesterday. My first thought was "WTF is that?" and then I thought that it must be Chinese... I was riding my moped so I couldn't take a picture. After some googling i found out that it was a Zhongxing (aka Zxauto) Landmark:

I have never seen a Chinese-built car in Finland before, and I think this was Russian-registered, too.

Although you've probably seen the burning Toronto police cruiser already, I just wanted to share the photos I took of the incident:

Citroën DS

Last Sunday I've been on a smaller oldtimer-meeting, just in our village. It was nice, but not spectacular, the most classic cars were "as usual", as Mercedes Pagoda, Citroen DS, BMW 02-Series, some British Convertibles, some Alfa Romeo (most Giulias), Opel GT, etc.
When I just wantes to leave, two vehicles have irritated me, because they were really uncommon on German meetings:

- a very old (probably from the 30ies) Reliant Threewheeler-Van (it had a plate from Holland)

- a Karmann TC. It was not the TC from my friend Jörg. Its owner has said, that 5 Karmann TC were known in Germany, all private imports.

Sorry for the missing photos, I haven't expected anything, so I let the camera at home...

An old picture I just scanned in. The parked car is a SAO Penza.

Interesting, I didn't even known that it existed

Two vehicles a friend posted on Facebook from Argentina. A 60s Kaiser Wagoneer:



and I'm not sure what this is:

It is a 1974+ Ford Taunus [TC1] - a German Taunus (built in AR AFAIK), not it's British brother Cortina (which was available as LHD, too).

Today I saw the new SAAB 9-5 Wagon as a masked test mule.

I was looking at a 60s Saab V4 the other day on ebay and the car badge said Saab with a plane underneath. I knew they made them but including that for the badge on a car looked cool. Nothing that creative would happen today.

Btw, I love that it's possible to sort by oldest first on the pages in the US ebay. I've been on the Australian ebay and strangely enough it doesn't have this feature...but there are some really great safari vehicles to look at

I saw an old SAAB this morning.

Honestly couldn't tell the model as I only saw it from the rear but it was a 1976 R reg one.

Yesterday I saw in half an hour even two of the "Limited Last Edition" VW Multivan's, the last 2500 made T3's.

And for the first time an Infiniti with German plates. It was a big SUV, I don't know the model.

Yesterday's finds in Brussels:

A Saturn with US plates:



A Proton (these never were very common in Belgium, but except UK I think they are more common here than in other European countries)

My next door neighbour has one of those but it is the saloon version in maroon.

That said as antp said they are fairly popular here.

In fact some British police forces use them:

My friend's car in your first picture antp, except tan.

Yesterday I saw a Cadillac Escalade, the third one ever with German plates. Its selling here is indeed worst, noone buys it.

And later on a Ferrari Testarossa. I got the arrogant idea, that with the oval"RSM"-sticker the wanted to distract from his real plate from DU. It's for Duisburg, a town, where the deprived areas are bigger than the well-off ones.
