What I saw today....
Let's start a new thread!
Seen something unusual on the road? Post it on here.
Better still post a pic if you have one.

I'll start things off.

Today I saw......

A Honda Odyssey - All I can say is "no wonder you don't see many."

Nah, I was in the middle lane, all three lanes were basically in a traffic queue (told you it was Dublin!), just happened that lane 3 moved before lane 2.

I saw a Nissan (I pronounced it "Neice-awn" btw) Leaf today. Good luck to you fella, I won't be helping you when you're stranded on the side of the road. Better wear sneakers and leave the Birkenstocks at home.

im not sure if you guys had these in the UK, but i saw an original Pontiac Aztec parked in my backlane the other day.

obviously i was offended to see such an ugly car so close to my home but then i tried to sympathize with the owner who has been driving around in that rolling steaming pile for the past 10 years!

Very nice Peter.
I'm fortunate enough to work in an office that overlooks the Cromwell Road in Kensington & Chelsea (London). Some days it can look like supercar heaven (Ferraris, Maseratis, R8s) and I cycle home past the McLaren showroom.
It's good to dream!

Maybe he's a fan of plastic body cladding? Maybe he bought it for the tent? That car is really a shame... Unbelievable that made it to market and as a Pontiac fan and owner, embarrassing.

On the plus side, you can pick up one with low miles for very cheap.

Saw a silver Ford Focus.
Seriously, folks, does nobody see anything interesting?

Only thing different yesterday was a lovely little Austin 7 Ruby, black mudguards with (no joke) ruby red body.
Also a guy came to my Chinese takeaway shop to collect his order in a Ferrari 360 or 430 Spyder - as you do!Really nice noise as he pulled away.

There's hardly anything "exotic" floating around Dublin these days, well not that I've seen recently.

I went out of the office this lunchtime and saw a blue Mustanfg convertible with red viper stripes. Great car, crap styiling. Didn't take a pic because it probably belongs to one of the sheiks here.

Then I saw a red Dodge Challenger following a Camaro SS.

I never let the mention of a Pontiac Aztec pass without repeating the age old story...

There was a big fancy motor trade event on a yacht moored up at a dockside somewhere in the US of A. Making the keynote speech was the Ford CEO, and part way through he was handed a note...

"I've just been passed this from the harbourmaster. He says this is parked on the quayside. [He holds up a photo of the latest Pontiac Aztec.] It's not causing an obstruction or anything - he just wants to know what the **** it is."

I had a SsangYong Rhodius for a day once. It was so remarkably hideous I actually took some photos of it.
