1976 Chevrolet Monte Carlo with some odd body damage; looks like something fell on it, maybe:

What appears to be an Australian-spec 1958 Ford Customline convertible (1955 Meteor grille + 1956 Meteor side trim; see http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_652506-Ford-Customline-1958.html ) on a box of candy in an upscale grocery store, except that the '58 Customline was not offered as a convertible:

And last, a picture I've been wanting to get ever since I got my Cougar:

Nice, reminds me of the old LeCar ad where it's parked next to a 1976 Caddy Eldorado, to show how parkable it was.

Very nice indeed. Alpine S5 - 19,000 made from Oct 65 to start 68. Alpines/Tigers always look best with alloys like these.

After blood pressure and mental condition went back to the normal level, I spotted a Tesla Roadster

The 162 is quite rare, I suppose. And sporty, I couldn't keep pace with my K 70.

Is Ausfahrt German for 'scrapyard' or 'banger track'?

That linked dsl is definitely not me. A cheap imposter. I'm a much better dsl. And you won't find me on facebook, twitter or any other of those Devil's inventions which will eventually destroy mankind.

[...] Grille (and part below it) is very similar to old Land Cruiser: http://www.toyota-global.com/showroom/vehicle_heritage/landcruiser/collection/model_40_1.html
but seems a bit more squared...


I eventually met the guy: the basis is indeed a 1979 BJ40. The body is made with an epoxy-based resin and will be molded in aluminium later. Still to be done: the windshield and the roof.
The chassis hasn't been changed, and neither has the engine, so the owner claims that it's street legal. But for now, I just wonder where the blinkers are hidden :smile:

Are these mandatory anyway? There are many BMWs and Audis that do not seem to have such item :whistle:

Not actually one of the 10s of thousands of Sunderland-built Nissan Micras but a Japanese spec Nissan March (supposedly imported to the UK last year). Why go to the effort and expense of shipping one to Britain when you could just have a Micra for less than the cost of shipping?

to feel different,unique. :halalala:

i see some RHD Nissan 300ZX ( or Fairlady ), Toyota Supra, Honda CRX or Toyota Soarer sometimes here while their NA counterparts are available, costing less but " so common " since they are LHD. i can understand if the vehicle is not in sale in the country ( saw a Toyota Sera here about 2 years ago )or have major differences between markets,it gives some kind of exclusivity but when the same vehicle is available in your country its kind of non-sense to me.
Of course, since a JDM car has the steering wheel on the same side as the UK and that its counterpart is available, makes that kind of purchase almost useless or at least a little weird.

but there is weird people all around the world....


sorry if its not well written , it was looking better in french in my head than in english on the screen :timide:
