Not Norev but Premium X, a sub-brand of Ixo.

About that Saab collection, I hope that some day we'll have it here in Belgium... though that I probably already have many of the models

@night cub. I did not hear about this. My family was down there that weekend in Sea Isle City. That is very saddening indeed.

I know in Philadelphia I ran into a pack of crazy cars drag racing and speeding out of control. This was near the Platt Bridge. I have seen at least two accidents in that area from street racing.

Spotted this at Ikea

2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Spotted this after going to Westfield London

2006 Lincoln Town Car Stretched Limousine

^ EU-Spec 98-03 TC/2000.

EU-spec? They officially exported these, or just aftermarket specs for legal use here ?

Could be aftermarket, the bus use to be something before repainted as School Bus.
And maybe things inside change for EU-Spec.

Every american school bus I've seen in Belgium was a second hand import for chartered purposes (tourism, wedding ceremonies or promotional events). No school in their right mind would bother to buy new such an outmoded, uncomfortable and impractical tin can on wheels when local alternatives abound.

Yes, here when we need a small bus we use something based on a long van, instead of using a shortened bus

I spotted a nice Honda Civic today.

Today I saw a Hyundai Staria: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyundai_Staria
It looks unusual, it is the first time I see one.
From hyundai.be website it seems that it is officially sold here.

The only one I've seen this year.

Finally, I was able to grab this picture at my area:

1971 Ford F-350 Custom Holmes 440 wrecker

Not the desired quality, but I was barely able to nab this shot of a US Gov't Ford Transit driving by in Eastern Tokyo.


Since the two digits start with "AF", I'm assuming the van belongs to Yokota AFB, but I'm not sure what it was doing over here...

There's a US Jetta II with a US Golf II front clip cruising around the place where I work. I last saw it about a year ago, but today it passed me again. I had to make a quick photo, didn't want to blatantly stretch my arm out as he passed by:



A minute later the tram arrived and I got another, worse chance to photograph it again:



Other stuff from the past year:

Swedish-American juggernaut at the Düsseldorf Caravan Salon:


A Lateef-special I hadn't seen in ages:


Still with its original period DIN-plates! Could use new wheels though.


And finally:

Wasn't able to take some pictures since I was cycling but saw a bunch of RVs pass by lately. A legit VW Campmoblie, Class C Sprinter, Hilux, and Hiace.

RV/Campervan are uncommon here nor I ever I saw this many. I begin seeing people here are converted RVs/campers pretty often now and then (welp, since the pandemic take off).

last time i went to my local diecast store , i was shocked to see some Santana ( including a white one on display , curiously not seen on their website )

At the 10.1.23 will be an auction near Frankfurt with goodies for Saab and NSU enthusiasts:
