but thinking of an F150 as a noteworthy thing to see is amusing.


:wink:

Here is one discussed previously the EU-specs Oldsmobile Alero, which seems usually badged Chevrolet here:

I really like the alero, it's so nice, i'd love to own one, also so uncommon they're very rare to see :smile:

I'm in Seattle, Washington! I've spent one day here so far and I've seen a ridiculous amount of nice cars but haven't got any pictures yet, I'll try today and tomorrow. I've seen a few Volvo 1800s a couple Volvo PV544 which Atom would be interested in. I saw a Detomaso Pantera, a FJ40 Land Cruiser among other older Land Cruisers, an International Harvester Scout, and my favorite being a first generation Ford Bronco. In just one day I spotted so many cool cars! I'll try and get some pictures.

A couple of PV544? That's lucky, I just see some once in a while...

Anyhow the last weeks I have seen the new SAAB 9-3X a few times, I didn't know it was released yet?

Yesterday I saw a new Renault Laguna Coupe (is it really new?)

But my car was much more interesting: the Laguna slowed down on the left lane besides me, because the lady on the passengers seat has wrenched her neck to get a look of the front badge of my K 70. :grin:

:tinostar: it's been for quite a while on the market now

I would have done the same :ddr555:

@ Atom, yes there was a parking lot of old Volvos and there were a couple parked next to each other along with many 1800s. Possibly a place that restores them?

Well here are some pictures I took yesteray. I should be able to take more but yesterday was especially beautiful for Seattle.

An incredible old Land Rover. It was very impressive.

Quite common to see them here still arround.



The first time i saw it i thought of Impala Wagon, then saw what you wrote, and OMG, it's in essence a Chevrolet Impala, isn't it? :tinostar:

@ CCF, well this is the United States, you just don't see that many Land Rovers of this age. It's similar to Antp showing pictures of American cars, most of the ones he posts I see all over the place. And it's a Chevrolet Parkwood above not Chrysler, my mistake.

Here is another angle of the Land Rover. You can see the amazing view in the background behind this house, too bad its been so hazy here that its not possible to see the distant mountain ranges like the Olympics.

Sure no problem with that :wink: I do not think he was saying that with the meaning "it is off-topic". And even here in Belgium these must be less common than in Spain. At least in cities.

Another one probably common for you but not for us, and that Ccf will like:

Oldsmobile obviously, but which model?

And an unlucky Rover P5 (I suppose that the driver had some injuries too, seeing the windshield and the fact that an ambulance left a little before I took the picture)

Sure i didn't mean to find you any fault, just letting clear they're still pretty common here! :smile:
