On my day trip to Berlin today I spotted many unusual vehicles for which Berlin is famous for, including two US-spec Fiat 124 Spiders, a Lancia Kappa (not Coupe unfortunately ) a Mercedes R170 in a horrible shade of orange-metallic....and this:

don't worry, its not better in North America.....

I made an appointment with a Car buyer today to pickup my Chrysler Stratus. By an almost impossible coincidence the trailer of the buyer was pulled by a Chrysler Voyager! This was not planned and the buyer does not buy only american makes, so this is just crazy.

The Voyager was so sad about the "wounded" brother that he refused to start. Even several start atttempts were unsuccessful. Only a Start-Aid Spray helped to overcome the sadness. Is that the proof that cars do have feelings?

And my car is going on his last Voyage with a Voyager. This must be fate!

A yellow Plymouth with an old-timer plate:



I suspect it is the same as that one I saw some time ago:



Not very far from there (2km), then I wonder: did the owner sell it or did he just change the licence (from regular plate to old-timer)

I see a lot of people changing to oldtimer plates because the restrictions have fallen away, "and then we don't have to go to the inspection anymore". A lot more "oldtimers" (25 y/o wrecks with new O-plates) visible in daily traffic too.

Chrysler vehicles helping each others is a common thing here too except that this one already knew that his ancestor was suffering because it had no problem to start. i took this in a car exhibition in Terrebonne last september

Fargo F-Series or Dodge Canada D-Series?

Dodge. i took a pic of it before the Ram came to pick it up. the owner also had a old Ford pick-up truck ( or at least they knew each other because they kept going from the Dodge to the Ford like both were theirs ). took nearly 180 pics before my battery decided that it was enough....

I suppose for the same reason to buy this car: http://www.targhenere.net/gallery/photogallery.php?photo_id=19553 Unconventionality. (OK, picture isn't mine, but I think that car is also unique in Italy.)

Excellent - the Imp is early Loch green colour, probably 64-65.

Panther Rio a surprise - only 38 made as hugely expensive upgrade of Triumph Dolomite Sprint - http://www.aronline.co.uk/blogs/cars/triumph/1300-dolomite/panther-rio/ . Never seen one apart from on motor show stand at the time. And almost certainly unique in Italy.

the Panther Rio looks like a mini Bentley from the front. i wonder how it feels to have a car that was produced in such low numbers

Very nice 1982 Honda Prelude, love the rims




Something british i guess

@villiam - something British = Austin Healey Sprite Mk1 "Frogeye"

@Lateef - nice. I kind of like these 2 door Granadas - both Mk1 and Mk2 - we never saw them in UK.

saw a 1980-1981( not exactly sure of the year but looks exactly like them ) Honda Accord hatchback today but as i was driving, no pics but was in pretty good shape for a 35 years old car.
on the funny side, 2 1st Gen CTS ( a black and a white ) same version, both were in front of me and both were having the left brake bulb light burned.

why is interesting/funny car sightings always happens when i can't take pics ??

Well, you should always have a camera or a mobilephone with camera-function with you. Even on shortest trips, even when you go to the bakerman or the postbox.
Since I began with taking photos for my license-plate-freaks and -of course- for my IMCDb-fellows - I put always my camera in the pocket. Yes, even for the 100 meter-walk to the bakerman. When I'm driving car, I always have placed the camera handy on the middle-console.
For that purpose I got a camera in pocket-size and with an extra fast release last year as Christmas present.

Because every time, when I don't have the camera with me, I miss some outstanding motifs, for example some weeks ago a scooter with Greek plates in front of the supermarket

yeah, i'll try to remember the camera for something else than car shows...

as for the cell phone, no chance because i don't have one and if i had and get caught using it while driving, it will cost me 120-140 $ and 4 demerit points ( which makes you pull more money from your pocket when you renew your driver licence and they stay on your record for 2 years, meaning paying extra money 2 times ).

not sure about camera only but i don't think its allowed either

problem is precisely when i'm driving that i see something, when i walk nothing interesting comes in sight...

what about dash cams, can they do pics also or just video ?

another solution might be to get a friend as a " co-pilot " taking pics for me but knowing them i'll end up with 100 girls and 2,3 cars in my camera...
