Pics, specially made for IMCDB-fellows

...quite a lot of them I'd made in the lst years. Tonight I'll start with the photos, I've made for you on our vacations the last week and the week before :smile:

The first is for rljuna2. A "space-bulb":

Our crappy rental car:

Can anyone identify these tourist-trolleys? From St.Augustine.

http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/3807/img0833j.th.jpg


For Animatronixx:

Maybe the original?

http://img813.imageshack.us/img813/8310/img0880od.th.jpg


After that came the -unfortunately poorly made :angry: - "show". Really annoying, as the wrong car, wrong location -the 1940 New York backlot has NOTHING common with the original, which was based entirely in and around Chicago, and that in the 80ies. And it was the only item in the whole area, of which you cannot get ANY merchandise-stuff. For all other movies all the shops are cluttered up with that. :oh:

http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/2576/img0893xc.th.jpg


The decoration in the faked buildings was contributed more carefully:

http://img851.imageshack.us/img851/5918/img0897y.th.jpg


And as the last for today, two more pics, taken specially for rljuna2 :smile: :

http://img851.imageshack.us/img851/172/img0914v.th.jpg


:angry: NO, it's NOT your company-car on it:

Two more cars from the Universal Studios (resp.in the shopping area in front of it):

http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/6494/img0916ut.th.jpg

http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/9522/img0917yf.th.jpg

In the attractions in the park itself are some more cars, a Ford taxi at the "Man in Black"-ride and two Pick Ups at "Twister". Too dark to make pics, but IIRC, Neptune has seen and identified them before.


For the Crown Vic lovers here:

http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/5958/img0922jq.th.jpg


For our motorhome-experts - and for the column "Far far away from Home" :wow:

http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/4538/img0942jn.th.jpg

http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/980/img0940e.th.jpg

http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/4526/img0941w.th.jpg


The other foreign cars, I've spotted, were all from Canada. But from there a plenty, mainly from Quebec and Ontario, but from the other provinces, too, incl.a motorhome from B.C. A far distance made also one Pick Up, which came from Alaska (personalized plate)
Two times I cringed, at the sights of a plate from Argentina and annother one from Slovakia. But those were only show-plates on the front, the cars had normal Florida-registrations.


Here again the pic for the Admin :tongue:

Shop-decoration in Key West:

The car itself is dull an not interesting, but it is - the southernmost abandoned car of the continental USA :grin:

http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/7844/img0984jg.th.jpg

Behind the wall on the right is the southermost house of the USA and then

Going upwards the Whitehead St you can see the Hemingways House, the Pan Am house, the Lighthouse etc, also:

In this -I can appreciate it- location: http://www.hogsbreath.com/ (I'm wearing now a T-Shirt, bought there :grin: ) you can spot plates, too. Sorry for the quality, but with or without flash proper pics weren't possible:

Notice the location! :lol:

:grin:


In this more or less seedy, cobbled "resort" http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g34486-d85810-Reviews-Travelodge_Monaco_N_Miami_Sunny_Isles-North_Miami_Beach_Florida.html this was remarkable anyways.

Pics, made for DynaMike, dsl and the DVLA-checkers:

A decoration object in the Art Deco-quarter of Miami Beach. It has a Dec 12-sticker, but at a closer view you see, that it's a helpless rotten wreck:

When I made the last pic, a bloke on the other side of the street made a bit showtime with his car. But a Bugatti Veyron is too dull and chavy for me, so I didn't made a pic.

Thanks for these pictures, ingo :lol:

The first one is the explosion proof overhang light fixture.

The second one is the classic red/green traffic signal with arm. Probably from the late 1910's to 1920's.

For the last picture on Light Bulb sign. Probably a speciality store that just sell light bulbs :grin: As for the sign itself, probably powered by High Output (800 mA) fluorescent light bulb.

Thanks for these pictures, ingo :banzai: :smile:

Sure, I know that location, the smallest working destillery in Scotland. The Trabi didn't stand there in 1996, when I visited it.
In 2007 and 2010 when we had passed the village on the way to our accomodations in Riemore (2007) and Glenlochsie (2010) I didn't notice the car.

My lunch, right now in this moment:

My wife's comment about the Edradour-pics was just: "Trabant and Scotland? This doesn't belong together".

Sorry, she don't know the Imp. In that case she may have said "An Imp would fit better" :wink:

This evening we've watched about a reportage about something else Scottish:
http://www.waverleyexcursions.co.uk/ Seems to be interesting.

Aha! The car belongs to a German employee, as Wiki says: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edradour :wink:

Thanks! ECW-bodied Leyland Olympian on the left, MCW Metrobus Mk1 on the right.

BTW, I have forgot the password for the kudos forum account, so I'm using the Mudflap one instead.

Only idiots are driving in Manhattan with their own car. The traffic is terrible - and the New York-ish way to drive even more. Totally different than in other areas of the USA. With more Italian/Indian/Russian elements, you can say. Every N.Y. travel-guide includes warnings about that.

(btw.: in guides about travelling in Florida you find warning about the very many retirees driving there and their granddaddy-like way to do that).

So our first experience in Big Apple ws a crash. The shuttle-bus-driver damaged the front of a quite new Mercedes C 380 4matic:

I really wanted to help our nice driver, an immigrant from the Caribbean, just because the two chicks in the Benz (mother and daughter) were so annoying hysterical (the fat drunken witness from the boardwalk even more), but he really was guilty. Turning in the 3rd line is not allowed in the USA, too.

Fortunately. At least New York is not a recommended place for spotting classic cars (for cars from far away neither). I saw just one 1971 Chevelle in TriBeCa, otherwise just single cars from the late 80ies, like a 1986+ 420 SEL-Benz. Nothing else. Nothing French, no Montero, no Tempo. Just one 1985 Pontiac Sunbird (but that directly on the Times Square), and one rotten white K-Car has crossed in Queens our way back to the JFK-airport.

Sorry, that I missed to take a pic from the only 1st gen Ford Taurus (also in Queens) - with the lovely personalized N.Y. plate "NSA"

Other personalized plates, I remember were "A BENZ", "TTRIBECA" and "6 NL". In Florida this March I saw also the N.Y.plate "BROOKLYN". And in 2003 a stretched Limo (a Lincoln IIRC) with "CAREY" (probably from Mariah herself. It was at the same evening, I was nearly ran over by Mel Brooks, when he came out of his theater's parking garage quite dynamic. He drove a 7-series BMW.

Something for Andre:

http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/4907/img1314c.th.jpg http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/2306/img1315fc.th.jpg http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/7050/img1316v.th.jpg http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/5509/img1317v.th.jpg http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/7280/img1318cq.th.jpg

I haven't asked the owners about the history of their cars. A quite odd sight: four fellows from the same area, which are always coming together and with cars, which were never available over here.

Otherwise there was nearly no COMECON-stuff noticeable. Some single Trabant, some Wartburg, plus one Skoda Felicia Cabriolet, that was nearly all. If you want to see that, you have to go to events in Eastern Germany.
