^^You sure about that?  That back red car is not an Sunbeam Alpine.

I don't recall Alpines (or Tigers) having those vent holes in the hood like the red car in the back...also, the front of the Alpine hood droops down to just a sliver where it meets the front end..

Or is that some trim piece missing I don't see??  Hood latches?  Something??  (I've never seen a stripped Sunbeam)
Those vent holes are where the hood hinges were. The hood opened toward the front.
You are looking at a picture of it with the hood removed.

How about this cute little thing.  Apparently it's going to be stretched into a 4-door and get Cummins power to the tune of about 1000hp

The Accord hatch in the pic of the Type 2 pick up is pretty cool as well!

All kinds of want!

I just noticed the 1967 Dodge Coronet peaking out from behind the VW.  Go back and take pics!

Here's one to keep you going Bubba

Holly crap. Hope everybody is safe. Wonder what would trigger a new car to start on fire.

Here in NB, they have ACPs, Advanced Care Paramedics, who have more training and can do more stuff than the regular paramedics, they get called out to bigger trauma cases, etc.  They don't drive ambulances, they have SUVs, mostly Escapes and Durangos.

Noticed yesterday that they now have an Outback, too.

Saw an older VW Touareg parked in Strasbourg without a front plate. Then also noted the orange headlight reflector. Had a Florida licence plate belonging to the US Air Force.

Didn't matter. Parking enforcement had left a ticket on the windscreen.  :rofl2:

For not having a front plate?

That Morgan looks awful nice to seeing out like that. The Opel GT is interesting but looks like a customizer got to it.
