deezle Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 Is there any easy way to tell when one is spotted? I guess we know for certain it's not the one James Dean owned. Quote
Diesel Dave Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 Here are some random, oddball, 3 wheel cars I saw in England. Quote
mkt Posted July 3, 2007 Author Posted July 3, 2007 real RSK or replica?I think it's real... Ilinois doesn't give Vintage plates to repicars Quote
mkt Posted July 3, 2007 Author Posted July 3, 2007 Here are some random, oddball, 3 wheel cars I saw in England.ahhh! The Reliant Robin!Top Gear turned one into a Space Shuttle last season Quote
MikeT Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 Plastic Pigs. Even Mr. Bean won't ride in them; they tend to trip and fall over. Quote
deezle Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 LOL! The one second from left looks like it was designed for Mr. Bean. Quote
Duck Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 I saw the Guelph Subaru Sambar yesterday on my lunch break while picking up bike parts, we both waved! That thing is rockin' awesome. Gots to get me some kei.-Iain Quote
mkt Posted July 10, 2007 Author Posted July 10, 2007 I saw the Guelph Subaru Sambar yesterday on my lunch break while picking up bike parts, we both waved! That thing is rockin' awesome. Gots to get me some kei.-IainI saw one yesterday at the Yacht Harbour parking lot here in Virgin Gorda. I thought about you the second I saw it. I was just too damned busy unloading the boat and moving the cargo onto our rental Mazda thing. Quote
ValgardForkbeard Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Saw a strange one yesterday in Edmonton; it had the Toyota logo on the front, and it looked like "sero" in script on the side. RHD, low slung, sporty sort of car.MG Quote
mkt Posted September 7, 2007 Author Posted September 7, 2007 Saw something really random today.It wasn't the vehicle, but it was the fact that it had recent Ontario plates.The Ontario plates aren't the odd part either. It's the fact that I saw that in this tiny little Caribbean island. Quote
Speedie Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 Saw one of these in Parksville yesterday: long url Nissan Fiagaro - it looked strangely french for some reason - must be the funky convertible roof. Cheers, Cameron Quote
MikeT Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 It looks like a very squished Vespa 400. And 36 grand?!? BWAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Quote
bilgladstone Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 Looks sort of like the Inspector Columbo car ;)Bil Quote
Speedie Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 That is what I thought at first until I got a closer look - Columbo's car the complete top folded down - on this only the centre section.Cheers,Cameron Quote
MikeT Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 Columbo's car was a Peugeot 403 Cabriolet, 2050 were made, all by hand on the basis of a 403 sedan...they're worth >$40,000+ now. They're a lot bigger than either the Figaro or the Vespa 400. Quote
MikeT Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 Here is a Vespa 400. They were common in Frence when I lived there. They came as a semi-convertible optionally (like this example). Quote
MikeT Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 Saw a MAN cab over 4x4 with European plates, Dutch owners and expedition body in Nanaimo today. Quote
mkt Posted October 12, 2007 Author Posted October 12, 2007 Some background, Port of San Juan is one of the main shipping/receiving ports in Caribbean/Latin America, and as a result, almost every car imported to the region goes through here. Yesterday afternoon, I was down by the Port, and there were various non North American Suzukis, Hyudais, and Kias in storage lots waiting their final voyage to their new home port. The Hyundais/Kias didn't interest me much (although the Getz and Terracans were pretty neat)... rather, a lot full of Suzuki Swifts and APV's got my attention. There were a few Ignis's... (Igni?) and the usual SX4/SUV suspects. But what got me was the lot full of Swifts. Those are nice cars Quote
Duck Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 That looks exactly like the Nissan Figuaro, Mike! Quote
I'm_now_smarter Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Just found this thread.... LOVE the cars you guys have turned up.Two quick thoughts.... Duck, I have a pic from Tokyo/Feb '97 of a Kei truck so small that made a miata look big. Unfortunately, it's at work, so I'll have to wait 'til I can scan it for you.And last summer, saw a mint Nash for sale.... classic two-tone, aqua & white. Tried to convince my father that that's what he wanted to do with his retirement. Unfortunately, I need to work on my influencing skills Quote
mkt Posted October 21, 2007 Author Posted October 21, 2007 Holy random VW group day batman!Saw a Skoda Octavia and a SEAT Leon with Dominican Republic plates today.Supposedly the US gets SEAT in 2008. Canada was supposed to get them in 1994, but it was scrapped. Quote
mixed Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 spotted at the RM classic car auction today but sold Friday night.... 1984 Detomaso Innocenti.... Quote
