seen recently : Porsche 924 ( friday )and 944 ( today )

But the most unusual one came about an hour later : Dodge Challenger convertible , a recent one.. not sure if its a US car or if there is companies here that does such conversions but its about as surprising to see as a Murano CrossCabriolet

I've seen a few of those modern Challenger convertibles, not sure who is building them.

Two days ago I noticed two brands for the first time:
a Valtra tractor (an older one, it had a pre-2000 plate in DIN-font)

a Lynk & Co 01


These police vehicles I never saw by myself:

In annother forum we discussed the question "Do you need a 4x4 in the modern traffic?"
The answer is:
"Not necessarily"

In your comment I noticed car and brand for the first time

Smells somehow like Daewoo Nexia or Bajaj-Tempo ...

seen recently : Lamborghini Murcielago ( or some of its LP6-something derivative ) with door up open ( wide open does not apply here.. :whistle: ) at a gas station, its owner offering an high octane drink to his fighting bull...

"Do you need a 4x4 in the modern traffic?"



i love how the police just go like : " As long as you're not too hard on them, sure, why not ! " :lol:

I don't know if original?


i don't think it is ( pick-up from that era should have pick-up style rear lights like https://oldcarbrochures.org/United%20States/Jeep/1973-Jeep/1973-Jeep-Full-Line-Brochure/slides/1973_Jeep_Full_Line-09.html and not Cherokee/Wagoneer style ones ) but its really nicely done .

I've seen this on a 1997-2001 Cherokee ( or was it a Comanche that traveled thru time ? )
but back then i did not had my camera with me and never saw it again

I understand. I know very little about Jeeps of that vintage! So, very likely it's unique in Italy :smile:

22/10/2023 @ 19:20:11: QueenMDX: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
I agree, 48bux and Baube. Lovely color. :grin:

Also Baube, was the bus really abandoned? :sad: Hm, it may be just the weather bringing it down, yeah? :whistle:

07/11/2023 @ 09:16:17: QueenMDX: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
Oh, nice, Baube, the Lotus Evora has a fantastic design too. :love: Sticking to the topic, earlier today on my way home I did catch a sight of a BMW i8. :grin:
