Ah yes, Sopot, that was the name.

Rare Toyota Panel Van, Karoomay will like this one!

A little late on replying back, but yes indeed. :grin:

i don't know if it was early 90's little Toyota day but i felt like every surviving example of 1991-1994 Tercel was on the road today...no pic as i was driving ( and Tercel is too common to take a pic of, unless its a pretty old one ) but i counted at least 6 of them..Icing on the cake was that 1991-1995 Toyota Paseo which is , unlike its relative, a little more rare

Talking about Toyota, Reg1992, the Cressida in your pic is a 1981-1982

I liked those early Paseos. It wasn't available in Europe back in the early 1990s, but I used to see a few of them - and a lot of Tercels ! - in my corner of Belgium, because I lived not far from the SHAPE (Supreme Headquarters of Allied Powers Europe) and an independent car dealer called, IIRC, Auto Direct, sold all of Toyota's north american range to military personnel stationed in the area.

The dealer operated from an old converted gas station, with no show room. It doesn't exist anymore, but today, in pure american fashion, it's been converted to a sports bar/pool hall and condos ! :grin:

Rare in the US, but on my vacation to the New York Tri-State area in September, I spotted some interesting vehicles in Bridgehampton, New York. One of which is a Citroen Type H.
17/11/2015 @ 01:31:19: Ddey65: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
I also spotted a Land Rover Series III with Right Hand Drive in the parking lot of the Long Island Rail Road station there, but I couldn't get a shot of it without my reflection on the side window.

Nice find.... :smile:

Even the Scout must be a rare thing now..

If you think that's impressive, there's a first generation Ford Bronco Runabout in front of that cherry picker truck. I don't know if I can get a good view of it or not.

Can anybody else see it?

Yesterday evening I've been in Düsseldorf for a meeting with the one and only K 70-owner of Malta. A colleague of him joined us - who owned formerly a 1959 first-hand Hillman Minx :grin:

As my friend is the victim of a pick-pocketing in the tram, we had been to the police. The airport-police was the closest station. Unfortunately it was not possible to take a pic of this original wheeled tank, which is still in usage.
@rjluna2: the headlights are identical with those of the NSU 1000, the Ford 17 M [P3], the Mercedes LPS-truck and the 1968-only VW 411 :wink:

On the way back to the hotel we spotted these two very unusual sightings:

A few days before we went to Scotland, this car was in front of me, in thick traffic in the town of Dortmund:

A few Jaguar-fans made a trip to the UK. But much less then the Ferraristi last year.

A propos Ijmuiden: some things were changed there, also this Camper, which stood there for many years, is not there any more:

A propos original JDM-Campervan: on the way back, between Edinburgh and Berwick-upon-Tweed, there was a truck in the oncoming traffic, loaded with four or five of those.

Last month in Falls Church, a purple 1970 Dodge Challenger. I was right behind him on the onramp onto the Beltway, great sound:

Same day, on the Beltway:

In Maryland, rare Mitsubishi Raider:

Same parking lot, first generation Mazda RX-7. I took this picture mainly for the contrast between the tiny RX-7 and the giant F-350 beside it:

Downtown Falls Church, 1965 Ford Mustang; despite being 50 years old, it is still probably not as rare as the US-spec 2001-2003 Chrysler Voyager behind it:

Our next door neighbors have a brand-new 2016 Scion iA in their driveway; for those not familiar, the Scion iA is a Mazda 2 sedan built in Mexico and sold in the US by Toyota:

I also saw a mid-1970's Chevrolet Steel Tilt Cab in Emporia, Virginia, and a 1972 Plymouth Fury Gran Coupe in the Five Towns of southwestern Nassau County, New York. I'll post the pictures soon enough.

No pictures, but Sunday on I-95 near Richmond I saw a DeLorean in full Back to the Future regalia, and on I-64 an Acura SLX (I'm still waiting for the day we get one of those unicorns on the site).

I think they were converted to RHD here if the buyer paid a price premium, the camper converters sold them with LHD too:

Not very old but might be the last one i'll see until next year, as winter already shows it will soon be there...( again ? Can't that thing skip a year ? :angry: )

2011-2014 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe

Yes, the white patch aside of the Freestyle is the proof that winter will invade us in a few days...or weeks at the best :sad:
https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5822/22697936533_dcf31e98be_h.jpg

Here is the 1985 Pontiac Fiero that i missed all summer long....found some other pics while looking back in my memory card but none is good..( only a little part of front, A-pillar getting in the view..etc ). Looks like it's gone for winter because i did not saw it in the last few days...and realized yesterday that i could had parked and get nice pics, i thought there was a bus stop in front and there is not... :halalala:
https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5785/23242479091_4316870e7d_h.jpg
Not sure if its a GT, it has the look of it but only one exhaust ( big enough to let Santa Claus get in.. ) on the left side instead of the regular 4 tips of the GT. So either regular with a GT look or GT with some exhaust modification

Did not saw those BMW in a while and now they are showing up. Saw this one yesterday and a dark grey one a few days ago
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/716/22697953673_d1e03d65a4_h.jpg
There is also another rare thing in the pic... any ideas ? :smile:

I was not supposed to include this one as its really blurry ( don't ask me why, got the 735 when it was about 40 ft. from me without any problem and got a blurry from about 6 ft.. maybe dropping my camera in front of the Q70 in january have something to do with it.. ) but i don't know when i'll see another 1st gen Scion xB with a Québec plate

I was in L.A. for Thanksgiving at my cousin's place today, and during a short walk around the neighborhood I spotted a few interesting cars.

I looked at it in fast-forward mode (I won't spent 31 minutes looking at traffic scenes :smile: ), so there is certainly a lot of other interesting vehicles in this video, but among lots of Camaros from the '70s and Mustangs from the '80s, I saw:
• a Renault Le Car (6 min.);
• a Porsche 928 (14 min. 10);
• a Saab 900 Convertible (17 min. 29);
• special dedication to Baube, a Pontiac Fiero, passing after 2 cars with both their hatchbacks open (???) and before an early (1968?) Mustang (20 min. 16. Seen again at 26 min. 01);
• a circa 1930 torpedo/roadster (20 min. 52). A Ford Model A?
• what seems to be a 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air 2-door Sedan (22 min. 17);
• a Rolls-Royce Corniche (27 min. 59).

The soundtrack of the video (the driver listens to the radio) is a time travel machine on its own :grin:

Good eye - even though I've watched the video in full twice, I never noticed that '56 Chevy.

Also, there's a bunch more videos I found like that one:
