A Chevy Citation X11.  I guess a '79 or '80  coming out of the Guelph U parking.  From the sight I got seemed to be running OK couldn't see any visible rust.

A previous Citation owner was ready to give up his precious to the closest recycling yard but my brother bought it instead for $100.
He rode the thing 1.5years without any fix expenses, only fuel & oil. I liked their small form factor of the X.

A 2018 unicorn: upper trim 2wd Ford F-150 with single cab and 8' box, as all trucks should be.

As my father's 1968(1967?) Chevy pick-up, except it was 6 inline, 3 speed manual (3 on tree), no power brake or steering, no A/C, AM radio only option, a real bare bone !!

Let say overall look like this GMC https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_C/K#/media/File:GMC_C-K_1500_Pickup_(5823434156).jpg except Chevy nose like this one https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_C/K#/media/File:Chevrolet_Step-series_pickup_1967_gris_métallisé_1.jpg

I was mortified last week when someone saw my leather snuff kit and said "what's with the man purse? ".

Not on the way to work, but in Wolfville on the weekend:  A Citroen 2CV, an old Austin Healy, and a Morris Minor all being driven around town.

I saw a "real" Eclipse later on the same drive. I think it was weeping, or maybe those were my tears.
Nope, this is an Eclipse. ;D

 In Guelph, a large car painted purple  with a grille I did not recognize.   I did get a good look at the tail fins and used Google to look them up. Very distinctive big fins.

Google said a  1958 thru 1960 Impala.   THe fins were nearer the 1960 below than the the 1958 pic.
 The glimpse of the nose of the car, the grille looked nothing like those images so I don't know.
Driven by an old coot with a bushy white mustache if that helps

While on an anonymous scouting mission last night I got to have a close up view of this.

If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

No, I was looking at another car the owner had up for sale for a friend.

The 348 is going to be a winter project for the owner, he's removing the entire drive-line and rebuilding it, IN HIS GARAGE AT HOME!  :bow:  He took 3yrs to restore an E-type, showed me the pics of the restoration, WOW!!

A bit of a random one: 2010 Bentley Continental Supersports cruising along West Georgia this morning. Driven quite quickly by a shorter middle-aged lady because why not, LOL. Same model and colour as this one below, though in person the paint looked a bit closer to a light ceramic grey. It was absolutely gorgeous and popped so beautifully with the red interior. Incredible noise as well. I know these cars aren't everyone's cup of tea but I've always been a huge fan, especially those early ones from 2003-2010.
