Spotted today at the visit of a farmer's market in the next village.
Decoration objects -of course only the first two- of a wannabe-US-style pub/diner ( http://daytona-roadhouse.de/ ):
I've seen this car some weeks before:
Driving school on the countryside. Well, this county (where our member robi comes from, has the plate "BOR", translated with "Bauern ohne Rücksicht" = "regardless boor"
More countryside-impressions:
In the trailer left is a mobile blacksmith!

I was at a shopping mall in Florida and I saw a white Ferrari Testarossa on display with a sign claiming that it is the actual one used in Miami Vice:
I have also posted the images in comments of the Miami Vice Testarossa page: http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle.php?id=2105
And as traffic was not stopped at that moment I couldn't easily grab my smartphone to make a better one
For us car-spotters (and plate-spotters, too) it would be really smart, to have always your camera -a usable one, not the shitty phone-cameras- with you. I do that since a short time, also for sunday-walks and recently even for the walk to the post-office and the supermarket - and every time I'm a bit successful
your camera -a usable one, not the shitty phone-cameras-
You know, the phone cameras have evolved in the last 10 years
High-end smartphones with optical stabilizer do as good as my 4-year-old compact camera.
Especially for simply posting on a forum.
In daylight, the result of my smartphone is already often as good as the camera.
And in night it would still be much better than my dashcam.
Even on short leavings a camera makes sense. I just went out to the haircutter and my sport-club, without camera - and have spotted to (already known) rarities: the Ford Scorpio II Turnier taxi and the Nissan Sunny Van...
A propos car-spotting: next Sunday I'm planning to visit http://www.retromobileclubdespa.be/bourses.html and afterwards a bit sightseeing in Lüttich/Liège/Luik (my wife comes with me). Of course I'll take the camera with me.
Brief translation: "We got this car, a British Ford, as a Christmas present in 1966 by my father - after the dealer, where he bought his new car, gave him a bigger discount, when NOT receive it in payment"
They had gearbox-problems all the time, once the husband replaced it, after accidentally he found an old Zodiac-gearbox somewhere. The car runs well up to Norway and back, but in Dortmund it died finally. We got 50 D-Mark (ca.25 €) as scrap-value.
Shortly after my brother-in-law has left with his Nilsson-Volvo-Limo, this car parked in the street:
On the way back from the hardware store, I've stopped at the Fiat/Alfa/Lancia-dealer in my village to make pics of this original Delta Integrale, parked in their showroom (he also owns a Fulvia Coupé in sporty trim). It was re-imported from Japan!
On the first view I thought "Oh, abandoned without plates. Odd, that it's not towed away in this area with not enough parking spaces", but then I saw the front plate behind the windscreen. But not used for a longer time anyways.
does he specialise in lie detection or dream weaving?

My wife has a terrible cold and the weather is ugly, so we stay at home today.
Aww, poor Chevrolet Impala is cooped up
