I'm more interested in the MG ZS with the air vent in the front wing. I've never seen those before.


I think that means it's a ZS 180 with the 2.5 V6 after the 2004 facelift, which gave it a boyracer bodykit.

Yeah, that's it, not so uncommon and available as an option on the lower versions.

I didn't really notice that one when taking the picture.
Unfortunately the original photo does not show much more of it, here is the part framed around the MG.

Seen on the highway on Friday - a Toyota Celsior [UCF10] on German plates (!) from Hamburg.
It had Lexus logos, but the badges clearly said the JDM name. Also had bright yellow DRLs. Only my fourth JDM sighting in Germany after:

- a silver S170 Toyota Crown on red plates in a suburb of Braunschweig, May 2018
- a metallic purple, yellow and silver JDM SF Subaru Forester, with winged front badge and RHD, December 2020.
- a Nissan Skyline (if memory serves either R33 or R34) on my block, late 2021.

seen on my street in the last days , VW Jetta Flair 2 .. i saw that one previously but did not in years and assumed it was scrapped long time ago...


which makes me think... if there was a 2 there was probably a 1 before.... yes ? no ? maybe ?

That's what known as a cruel joke. The Jetta Flair 1 was available on the other side of the Atlantic:

thanks Gamer :smile:

did you guys had the 2nd one too or you got only the prequel and we got the sequel ?
30/07/2022 @ 21:36:05: Gamer: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
No, that's just it. We had only one Flair!

The FBI drives Durango

https://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/amerika/trump-durchsuchung-105.html

- but not mine civil police version (o.k., that was made for Argentina)


Today at the ride to my office in Dortmund, I saw a shabby Opel Astra F with 1990ies Ukrainian plates - and a brand new Tesla S and a now Dodge RAM, also with Ukrainian plates.

And something really rare - a 1978 VW Passat.
And an early Porsche 944 with first plates in DIN font.

2001 Honda Logo, haven't seen one in a while. Good shape and less than 100000 km at the last inspection :smile:

Most likely annother of the only 30 made civil border patrol cars for Argentina as mine daily driver:

Every detail fits, also the late registration.

2004 Rover Streetwise
.............
1980 MG B (For dsl :smile: )


Thumbs up for the MGB - looks like a final runout Limited Edition for US market (6,682 made 1979-80) in black with silver lower side tapes, starfish alloys, front spoiler, should have bright stripey seats. They stopped doing LHD roadsters in 76 for any market except US, so must be a private import.

Sandie might approve of the Streetwise. Diddy towhook suggests true lifestyle adventurers??
