The Nissan Leaf might not be that interesting or special but this one surely gives us a nice reminder which is :

Always have a Plan B :grin:

There is a difference between the Leaf's plate and the Mustang's one that in the next post. A brand new empty box to the first one who finds it :wink:


The Mustang has an "F" plate. I remember our rental car had an F plate, back in 2001, but apparently, it's not just for rentals.

Saw this one today. Had to be quick because my light was about to turn green so i did not had time to zoom and do a nice pic. i hope it will be visible enough. Late 80's Nissan Skyline ( or GT-R ? )


It is a 1989-93 Skyline [R32], but not a GT-R, which was wider. Probably a GT or a GT-S.

well, yeah, the Mustang has a F plate while the Leaf doesn't but there is another difference. It's my bad, i should had said that the difference was other than the letters/numbers combination ( or had put another one than the Mustang ). i'll give you half of the empty box ! :wink:


As for the Skyline, thanks for the info, never saw a GT-R in front of me. i knew that there was a good possibility that it was a regular version but wasn't totally sure :smile:

Just saw my first ever Mustang SVO on a road today ( the only other one was back in the 2005 MIAS as they were having a special exhib relating the Mustang's history ). Sadly for me, i couldn't capture the moment as i was driving :angry: :bombe: :cry:

Sure hope to see one again... ( and that i won't be driving this time... )

nearly missed that one but on my way back i saw it was still there so i decided to stop ( we even see my car in background but its not the interesting one :lol: ). this one can fill both special sightings and need help to identify a car because all the badges were saying " Austin of England " without any model name

1948 Austin A40 Devon - very early one without quarterlights. Was successfully exported round world for first 2-3 years but tailed off after about 1950. US was briefly a big market - http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_818193-Austin-A40-Devon-GS2-1948.html .

your next mission is to find the much rarer 2 door A40 Dorset.

Thanks dsl for the info, i was wondering which was the model.

As for my next mission, i really hope that you are having some free time... After all, it took me nearly 38 years to see this one.... :grin:

These are completely unheard of here, unsurprisingly a tourist:

OK, I just noticed it : the Leaf's plate has green digits instead of blue.

@ Exiv96 : that's right, sending you the other half of the box :wink:
Green digits are used for the electric vehicles


I don't know very much Alfa Romeo, from the 3 i know , 2 of them are very rare ( Milano ) and rare ( 164 ) sights. The little Veloce still manage to be seen a few times in the summer. So you can imagine my surprise when this one stopped in the lane next to me. For once, a red light was useful :lol:

Nice :smile:

And it's a Euro-spec Spyder ! I guess now that it's more than 15 years old, it can be imported to Canada, like all those JDM cars in British Columbia.

Big Dave posted a link trying to alleviate any doubts that a tow truck in an episode of "The F.B.I. Files" was a Chevy, and I found a much more interesting Chevy here:

UPDATE: Looks like I posted this in the wrong thread.

A Buick with a Belgian EU plate (starting by "8-") parked in front of the Royal Palace :

all seen on the same street in a time frame of 5-6 minutes :grin:
(in Uccle, near Fort-Jaco, on a sunny Saturday)

Today at the same location I saw a MG A, but the image is blackened (sun in front).

First one is a Tesla Roadster, US car is an early Camaro (or Firebird?).
03/08/2015 @ 00:33:53: night cub: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
It's a 1968 Firebird, has the Pontiac spear-shaped sidemaker.

First idea was a 250 GT/E, but the fender louvers are the ones of a 330 GT 2+2 Series II or of a 330 GTC. If I'm not mistaken, the bumper guards make it a 1965-67 330 GT 2+2.
