@CCF and Neptune - Ford said they're not going to sell the Ka in the US, becuase it is simply too small to be successful here.
Btw, is that actually in Michigan? A lot of the people in the picture do not look like Michiganders. Plus, the plates on those two Fords are fake.

If you looks closer, you'll see that the two Fords have Michigan manufacturer plates

This isn't a car, but I saw an odd UTV built by John Deere recently. It's a 3-wheeled 1200A.

That ia quite amusing-only in America.

That is quite funny (Fun in advertisement ...
) I wonder if the BMW dealership deliberately made that ad in response of the Audi ad, or if it was just a coincidence ?
Also reminds me of this funny BMW advert, making fun of a famous Microsoft operating system ...

Few days ago Adrian (ccf) was interested when I said him that "old" US cars in Belgium were not so rare, especially Chevy Berreta/Lumina. So I tried to pay attention, and indeed it is easy to find these. I saw a Lumina, and a Chrysler LeBaron sedan, I can try to get a picture of the latter one as I know where it is often parked.
I also saw this nice Buick in Ikea parking lot:
Unfortunately the pictures are small, they were taken with my sister's cellphone and I didn't know that by default it was set to 320x240.
I asked my father to seek for US cars, as he does more walks than me, and often has his camera with him. So today he found this nice Dodge Aries K:
26/04/2009 @ 22:15:34: taxiguy: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
Oh god, the taillights on that K-car
I didn't know that those were ever officially sold there.
Btw, the Beretta and Lumina are completely different cars. Plus they're not really old either.
26/04/2009 @ 22:32:35: antp: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
When I say old, I mean 80s/90s, opposed to really recent ones.
I do not know if the Dodge & Buick were officially sold here. But for sure the Dodge has EU-taillights
And by Lumina, I mean Corsica, sorry, I do not know why I mixed the names. These Chevy were sold here officially, for reasonable price, and so are not rare. Same for Chrysler Neon.

Am I right, that the Dodge Aries is owned by old people? Isn't it a very old plate?
27/04/2009 @ 09:30:17: antp: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
Even if the plate could be a recent re-issue (I saw this weekend a XJ8 with a brand new "M·4000" plate), this plate is a real old one ("E.1234" instead of "E·1234"), so the car is probably owned by old people. But you can inherit the plate from a direct parent, so it may be the son/daughter of the original plate owner.

I think, for this car this would be very unlikely - which younger person would really drive a K-Car?
27/04/2009 @ 10:43:02: antp: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
Why not?
Here it looks exotic anyway, no matter what it is

Oh how nice, thanks so much Antoine!!!
nice units hope you find more

I think that it was a good idea to ask to my father to seek US cars in Brussels streets...
The Chrysler that I mentioned previously:
A Buick Park Avenue, we have few EU-specs like this one in movies on the site:
And a Chevrolet Celebrity, which seem to be US-specs, no?
29/04/2009 @ 23:19:38: CarChasesFanatic: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
They're all so incredibly nice

Ahem... o.k., it's a matter of taste.
The Chrysler GTS is obviously owned by old people, too, if you see the plate.
Just this afternoon I thought about this thread, too. I saw a Chrysler Saratoga in our village. Very rare.

Antoine has already seen this on Facebook but I wanted to show everyone. This was parked on the main strip in my town, I stopped biking to take a picture with my camera phone. Last time I showed a picture of my town there were like 7 SUVs in the background but now its mostly sedans! Sorry about the blurriness, it was raining on and off at the time.
A 1968-1973 Opel GT.
The back.
"One unusual feature of the Opel GT was the operation of the pop-up headlights. They were manually operated, by way of a large lever along the center console next to the shifter. Unlike most pop-up headlights, they both rotated in the same direction (counterclockwise from inside the car) about a longitudinal axis. One standard joke about GT owners was that you can easily spot them due to the heavy muscles on their right arm built up by using the lever to pop up the headlights."
Quoted from Wikipedia. I thought this was amusing.

Haha, I bought a new engine for my Opel today and that guy told me that exact joke
