Nice, I was wondering recently if he still had the C43. I miss him, he's a real car guy and always had good contributions around here.

Evil_Twin's been quiet lately too - Blackwing so exciting he's just always out driving maybe?

Yup, saw tons of those running around when we were there in March, I find it hilarious that they chose a Jag as their test bed, a vehicle internationally known for questionable electrics
Lighten up Francis.....

Lots in San Fran also, with the exception that most I saw were Volvos.  Could have been the same one over and over again.  Tried to sign up to try it out.  Turns out theres a waiting list, so no-go. 
Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

Wow. First year Rampige iirc.  That one’s very nice, always liked those but every single one I’ve seen has been a rust bucket.

On the 401 the other day I saw an E46 3-series convertible towing a camper. Not a pop-up or tiny tear drop one either.

A bit of a cheat since it was Street Wheelers weekend with lots of cool stuff out cruising but a Corvair rampside truck ... with a LSx V8 swapped in.

I just saw a Rivian truck thing, what a novel idea, make an EV truck thats truck shaped, doesn't look like an autobot sextoy, isn't offensive to the eyes, and would maybe actually be attractive to the truck buying market....naaahhh, that will never work.

There's always interesting vehicles to see at Volksfest, held Saturday in Winnipeg.

The oldest Beetle I've ever seen; a 1949 model that was located in Belgium and brought here.
A 1984 Rabbit, 5 spd, with 180,000 km.
A 1970 NSU Ro80, a FWD, rotary-powered sedan.

I have seen several NSU RO80 in museums, but none in the wild.

I didn't see it but my friends did.

My friend went to Scotland with their friend who has a cousin there that owns not one, not two, not three, BUT four Ferraris.  They took some pictures for me (sorry, I only saw them on their phone, otherwise would post here) and I remember a Dino and F40.  Another one might have been a 355 or similar and the last was something even newer. Hard to tell from their photos.

I said I might be going to Scotland next year and she said, I'll give you his name and let him know you are coming.

A 1997-2004 Chrysler Intrepid. The only rust I spotted was on the rear bottom corner of the driver's door.

Cavalier Z24 convertible. Had the 2.8L (or at least the badging) and looked pretty mint.  Then I saw a Golf Cabrio, also looking mint.  Considering how isolated it can be here, I do see some neat cars and trucks.
