Walking around L.A. and saw this old bird:

1968 Ford Galaxie 500




MG B of some sort

1968 Ford *Fairlane 500

Oops, I'm sleepy

As I was pulling out of the gas station I saw a 1983 Audi 5000 pull up. Was in really good condition.

Today when I was driving around town I saw a Toyota Land Cruiser (J40) and a 1990 Mazda 929 going in the opposite direction.

Seen today.. after a little search ( here and Google ) , looks like it would be 1966-1967 by door-mounted mirrors and lack of sidemarkers and reverse lights .. first thing that struck me was the all-red tail lights . but some details are bugging me, like clear front turn signals vs bi-color ones ( and i saw some without door mirrors here that were said to be 1967 )




Missed in the same parking lot ( i saw it as i was about to leave )
1st gen Toyota Prius ( a dark blue one, there is also a light green one that plays hide & seek with my camera )

Reversing lights were April 67 onwards. Door mirrors instead of wing were 1965-ish onwards, but not sure if a single date applied everywhere or a gradual changeover. Clear lights at front were common on many overseas markets. It also has the pre-1969 position for the front lights with a wider gap between them and the grille.

Thanks for the precisions dsl

Just saw a 1993-95 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, not many of the earlier 1st gen models still around.

Spotted a very important vehicle today that just about sums up British motorsport in the 1960's and I can't believe I can't find it anywhere in the database.



Heading North on the M6 around Killington Lake services, sadly not under its own steam but on the back of a low loader and no sign of any D types on board.

Wow.. this is fantastic .. sad that race cars were not included..


looks like it is the summer of little european cars.. after the Siata and the MG B , it is now VW Karmann Ghia's turn to show up .. looks like one of the last ones with the amber turn signal


is 1972-1974 an accurate range ?

Someone has a severe case of a(u)ddiction in my hometown.

Two silver A4 Convertibles?



I would say:

Audi Q7: The Man
Audi A4 Convertible #1: His Wife
Audi A4 Convertible #2: His Daughter
Audi RS5: His son

option 2

Q7 : wife , can get a lot of shopping in there
A4 twins : twin daughters
RS5 : husband , so he can feel free once in a while..

reminds me of a house that was on my bus road ( when i didn't had cars yet ) . They had a 1995 Ford Contour SE and a 1995 Mercury Mystique LS, like they couldn't choose between them and bought both...


seen today.. i didn't saw many Alfa Romeo in my life ( but saw one on a daily basis some long time ago, a 164 ) and i think its the first time ever i see one of these and it looks tough to get a year range, nothing seems to fit exactly with what i see here and somewhere else ( google, wikipedia ,etc ) . would be nice to find out

Stunningly beautiful Alfetta GT. Those bizarre mirrors irritate me, too.

It looks a bit of a mongrel - late rear lights and panel and wheels, early-mid grille and possibly early bonnet - not V6. No front spoiler. Shiny rear vents are wrong and too many rear badges. But I don't know US sequences to unpick what it might be.

Thanks dsl , since its a nice little mixed up, i'll leave it without a year range

i hate when they get turned into Frankencar...

Today on the way home from vacation an eleMMent Palazzo passed us. Google it.

oh my.. that atrocity costs 3 millions dollars !!
but once you're inside, like all the other.... questionable designs on the road, you don't see the exterior.. it makes me think a little bit of this one by its height.

i saw on TV ( and maybe in one of my books too ) a similar truck with a circular windshield but i don't remember the manufacturer

Today at my local grocery store, there was a blue 1988-1991 Ford Tempo and a tan 1990-91 Toyota Camry parked next to eachother. Wish I had brought my camera with me.

A Mahindra Pik Up 'DC' seen yesterday:


I didn't know that Mahindra's vehicles were sold in Europe. This is the case at least in Italy and in Spain, but does anyone know if they are sold elsewhere on the "old continent"? The corporate website doesn't give any information about it...
