Neon, seing that you take pictures to cars you see on the street have you not ever thought about creating an account on Flickr? some of us here on IMCDB have one already, you seem to take many photos to cars as well, it would be nice if you showed them, I asked Antoine to create one himself but he has no time unfortunately.

Neon > you create any topic you wish

@ CCF: soon I'll open my Flickr account

@ Antp: ok, I open it in this section.

Excelent Loren, please tell me whenever you do so the ones of us with an account there can add you

Ingo, 259 cars pile up?

Sorry CCF


Eeeh, "pile up" - do you mean the artefact, the concrete-pile near Paris? I have seen photos of it, but I've never been there for myself.

I think he rather means this pile-up (= Massenkarambolage).

Yes, pile up, chain reaction accident, multi car crash, as you prefere to call it

Oh, you are meaning this. I haven't read about it. Perhaps my wife will get it on her desk. She is in the claim-department for car-crashes.

Yes, it's the A 2, I'm using to go to work, but 300 km westward.


P.S. Yes, she got one report of that pile-up this afternoon, as she just have said.

Toyota Will



The rear looks like a Citroën C1
By far, I havent seen this car on IMCDB

WOW that is an ugly car!

it is a WiLL Cypha, by comparing it to the pics on Wikipedia
edit: and now I see that it is written on the back of the car

The front looks like a Nissan GT-R has been hit with an ugly stick

Yesterday I've seen, that a new classic car was brought into my county (by the 5-day-temporary-plate), a GAZ 24 Volga in black, so in the original "Eastern Block-Nomenklatura-Style".

Since two hours I have a new assignment - to give the chance for Black_Ice to see an unknown car (for him) back on the road. The owner of the only K 70 in Canada has contacted me.
But this sight will last a while. At first me must solve the question "How to get an engine from Europe to Toronto?"

The government-car of the German minister of health was stolen in Spain:

I'd be very interested to see a K 70 on the street, but I live in BC, on the opposite side of the country from Toronto.

I keep a listing of sightings for myself, but I'm not sure what would be interesting to other people (especially as I have no pictures), it's mostly SLs and R32 Skylines, with a scattering of "Some 30s/40s/50s car that I don't know what it is".
I do know what this is though. It's very much like the one I saw on the freeway a few days ago.

Today I saw a few rare or interesting cars.

At first in Dortmund a very early Saab 93 in perfect condition. It must have been a privte import, because before 1967 Saab's weren't sold in Germany.


10 minutes later two ultimative Opel's: a Diplomat B 5.4 and a Bitter CD!


Later on we brought my wife's Astra G to an Opel-garage, due a recall-programme of Opel. All Astra G's front axles had to be checked.
My father-in-law's Astra G gor a complete new front axle for the costs of Opel.
On the way to the second next village I saw an US-car on the roof of a "Pommesbude" ("French fries stall" in the USA, "chip shop" in Britain. Just a little one, not a big diner in US-style or so).
I'm not 100% percent sure, but I think, it was a 1981 Buick Regal. Obviously without engine, gearbox and suspension.


The Opel-dealer ( http://www.opel-hueppe.de )
had several real classic Opel's parked in his showroom, even several cars from 1905 to 1940. They belonged to the owner, the guy has told us.
He was a bit irritated, when I'm asked him: "We would take an exchange-car for the time of the job, but I want to have the red one in the left back corner"
It was a 1969 Opel GT
This was not possible, so my wife will take my Omega for the next days.

This dealer was recommended by neighbours and makes a good and friendly impression. But the positive impression was a bit pushed down (in my eyes), when I saw the asked price of one used car.
For a "G-Mann-car" , a 1997 Omega B 2.5 CD Caravan with 95 000 km they want to have 8950 €! This is a total unrealistic joke.
My wife told me, that she pays for a totaled Omega like this (she works in the claim-department of a car-insurance) maximum 4000 Euro.

On the way home today, I saw a funeral proscssion outside a curch. The lead car was a Ford Falcon hearse (duh!), behind was a Holden Statesmen, behind that was a [R35] Nissan GTR, and then another Statesmen. I was suprised to see a two-door sports car in a funeral porcession. The only non-black car was the hearse. It was a light blue.
