On the way back from CT yesterday I spotted a Suzuki X90 - roadworthy and driving!

It's been a while since I saw one of those.

Saw the new Peugeot 508 in Dijon, in black. Between the colour, tinted rear windows (standard), and the black/red LED taillights, gotta say it's the best-looking midsize sedan on the market today.



Nice, but I was expecting more French quirkiness.

That's a bit of an outdated trait . Yes, not too long ago they were that way but the recently-designed models aren't bonkers. It's about the design and elegance.

The tach does spin anti-clockwise though (like in my 308), and it does have the cool toggle switches that's spread across the lineup like on the 3008 crossover.

It was British Car Night at the Pony Corral in Winnipeg, Sunday evening. Since it was World Photo Day, I took 68 pictures! Lots of non-Brit stuff as well.  Album at the link: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmoyZcUv

Those are great shots on the Flickr site. Love the TR4A licence plate.  :rofl2: And I will take the Tiger thank you. Not keen on the hood scoop or the rear hood exhaust vents, but I understand why. I used to have to drive with the hood open (hinged front) in my MK ll Tiger, to keep the engine temp reasonable.

Was in Wpg yesterday...saw a Lambo Aventador (I think) in white, a Maserati Granturismo, Audi R8...and my first ever Fisker Karma.  Now that's a car with presence.  Love it or hate it.  I love it.  I'll take mine Bob Lusk style though - that things screams for a V8 ICE.

Well, this was something I saw on weekend..

Robert Wickens's (from Guelph) Holey $hit crash @ Pocono.  Two broken ankles, broken arm & possible fractured vertebrae.
Not that bad considering how scary it looked.

Thanks for having a look at the album, guys.  It was a fun Cruise Night.  Yeah, that Rebel was nice.

I just checked my site stats and my pics have been viewed over 532,000 times.  Pretty amazing.

I like the redline tires on this Ranchero.  In fact, I like the entire car.

The last good looking Nova generation.  The 1975 redesign was a fail.

I love these, and LOVE redline tires.  I'm not a fan of whitewalls at all.
