" If i knew i would end up behind bars here, I would have stayed in Europe ... " :sad: - Mercedes W123

In Europe no W123-Benz ends up like this one. All of them have a long second life in Africa and Near East.
No kidding, in Germany you find Benzes on junkyards in much less numbers than other makes (except Toyota), compared with their appearance in the flesh.

Seen yesterday during the monthly car meeting in my town:

The owner wasn't present, so I couldn't ask her/him for details about this car. Later replica, genuine Coupé made by an independent manufacturer or official Citroën racing car? The plate number can't help as it was given this year (DM-xxx-xx)...

Nice Citroen, always thought they were either sedan or wagon ( or should i use break ? ) .


I went for a job interview this morning and on my way back home there was a place that was perfect to do a nice little family pic

Just a little, simple question... What is that thing ? Thought of some kind of Scout but i doubt about this. Maybe the fact that it has been so long since the last one i saw for real but i think they were bigger than this.. Sad that i couldn't get closer or get a better view

Not really an expert on American cars but it looks like an early Bronco to me:

Sandie, you might not consider yourself as an american car expert but your Bronco idea sure looks like the good one. Thanks :smile:

Now i'm almost feeling bad for forgetting about the Bronco..... :shy:

Another rare truck I spotted during my NYC-LI Road Trip. In this case it was in Emporia, Virginia, where I spotted a Chevy Steel Tilt Cab flatbed truck. I've got two more shots of this if you'd like.

Or convertible :wink:
There were coupés, but all done by other companies, not directly Citroën

Most were done by Chapron (who also initially did the convertible)

There was also one made by Ricou and one by Bossaert.

There were some less aesthetic coupés made for racing, which were just shortened sedans, like the one posted by eLMeR.

"grand" in what currency?


NOK, I guess, which makes 2641 EUR or 2888 USD

Quite rare,

and very expensive nowadays

Another rare truck I spotted during my NYC-LI Road Trip. [...]

Not a "late '60s model" as suggested by the file name, but a 1973-81 one. Which makes it indeed a Steel Tilt Cab, previous models (1960-72) being just promoted as Tilt Cab by Chevrolet.

There is a little extra on that white Chevy Cruze.... a brand new empty box to everybody who finds it... Good luck ! :grin:

All right, so first I'll zoom in your photo. So is it because this Cruze comes from Denis Breton Chevrolet in St-Eustache ? :grin: Or because this is a Cruze Eco turbo diesel ?
13/12/2015 @ 15:09:11: Baube: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
No, it's not the dealer or the choice of engine.. answer is a little bit lower than the dealer's sticker... :smile:

Obviously the huge dual exhaust pipes. This is what the normal one looks like:

The other difference is the wheels, which should be alloys on the Eco models.
13/12/2015 @ 19:22:37: Sandie: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
Think the wheels are switched out due to winter tyres.
13/12/2015 @ 23:24:28: Baube: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
Looks like night cub is the new , proud ( well, maybe not that proud... :grin: ) owner of a brand new empty box ! :smile:

RS package should offer similar pipes, would look nice

Never saw a diesel one or if i did, it went totally unnoticed, as the ECO and TD badge are really similar and at first i thought this one might be a 2.0 TD.... to the point that i watched pics of it once i was home... :halalala:


As Sandie said, the car has winter tires ( i have the same ones ), this is why it has not the regular alloys we can see on the ECO. I used to do same with my Mazda's wheels
