this past week I saw a Citroën Saxo, and a Peugeot 206 (neither sold here) a US spec Peugeot 505 and a Daihatsu Charade all in the same day, sadly no pictures though.

Were the Citroën & Peugeot with regular US plates? Or were they from Mexico or some car maker test-plates?
08/12/2012 @ 03:08:09: t0nkatracker: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
no they both had US plates
08/12/2012 @ 19:47:46: antp: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
I wonder how they could register these :confused:

US VW Passat seen in Kraainem, Belgium:

I do not remember from which US state was the plate (I saw it previously, but the pic isn't good enough to read that)


Kinda looks like an Ontario, Canada, license plate. The color and digit format match.

Last week I saw a Nissan Murano with an Omani license plate jammed into the US-sized holder. A blue Export plate like the "2009, Export" example at http://www.worldlicenseplates.com/world/AS_OMAN.html

Earlier this week I saw my first Tesla Model S, a dark red one in Reston.

I remembered it was a US state - I just can't find which one :grin:

Anyone remember when I showed you people that early-1970's Plymouth Road Runner at the Don Garlits Museum's 25th Annual Mopar Convention in early-November 2012?:

Well there are quite an assortment of pics I took from that convention that I still have on a flash drive. All I have to do is name the pics, and start a whole new thread just for that subject.

@Andre: accidentally I saw a short article about this ARO 240 http://www.localbook.de/temp/pics/018000000180030626833_800x600.jpg used by the fire fighters. Now it's standing in a museum in Merseburg in East Germany, but originally it was sold as a new car in the far West of West Germany, in Daun in the Eifel (where the Nürburgring is located, not far away from Luxemburg)
The fire truck-conversion was made locally shortly after the import.

I saw a Nissan Rogue yesterday, but no picture because I forgot to put the SD card in my dashboard camera :kiki:
Here it is normally sold as Qashqai, but it was well the US version.

This lovely 1965 Aston Martin DB5 was seen at St. Marnock Street, Kilmarnock, and is currently due to be auctioned for an estimate of £200,000 - £235,000. HJB753C (chassis no. DB5/2058/R) is finished in 'Dubonnet Rosso' with beige leather interior, and is fitted with a ZF five-speed gearbox. It was fully restored by HWM in 1978 for Mr. Ernest Jones, and won the Fort Belvedere Trophy at AMOC`s Goodwood Concours later that year. It was then sold to the last owner in May 1985, who kept the car for the following twenty-seven years. It has been stored in a dry barn for most of the last 10 years, making it somewhat of a rare spot.

Spotted at Christmas at a junky gas station in the rough Berlin-Wedding:

I cannot remember, that I've even seen an Acura with German registration before.


Three days ago, on the way back from the office, I saw a Coupé, on which I only could identify a Rover-badge. Thanks to IMCDb I could identify it now. A real rarity, I'd say, as we only have two here: http://www.imcdb.org/vehicles_make-Rover_model-827+Coupe.html
It was a LHD-car with German plates.

In fact it's not an Acura, but an Infiniti FX-something if I'm not mistake. A couple of years ago I've seen a Rover 800 Coupé too, but it was on the way of the junkyard, it's a nice and elegant car but I think it has a lot of issues

@ingo: In 1999 I saw a Rover 800 Coupé in a resort near Thessaloniki, Greece. It had a Tirana, Albania registration but had originally been supplied by a dealer in Düsseldorf.

Found this unregistered one on site of a training centre for apprentice mechanics:

Ford Falcon, I think.

Yours is mounted at the rear? (I guess as it seems to be looking through the NG900 concave rear window :grin: )
14/01/2013 @ 01:59:42: chicomarx: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
No it's the front, but this isn't taken in the Saab. Nice detective work. Except I'd be driving on the wrong side of the road....

Well you need to clean your windscreen then. :grin:
