There is a neon green GT3 (might even be an RS) that I see on my commute on sunny days.  Now that I think about it, there are a number of baller Porsche owners around town, but you don't see them much,  their owners live on rural estate lots for the most part. 

Another interesting exotic for sale in NB, the Honda dealership up in Bathurst has had a Ferrari California for sale for a looong time:

I wonder if it's maybe just the dealership owner's car?

There was a classic Alfa Romeo on BaT recently that was in Bathurst and the pics had some serious machinery in the background including a Testarossa and I think a 997 GT3.

In Fredericton there's a new GT3 Touring that I used to see a bunch as well as some other very nice 911s.

I think that's pretty likely....kind of a "it's for sale if someone wants it, otherwise I will drive it"

I also saw an orange GT3 downtown today....license plate "MYGT3"...not sure if that's the one for sale, or a different one.

I saw a reddish/orangish C7 Corvette convertible with a colour matched "Lebra" style front end protector. I wonder how much that costs and why the owner didn't just get a clear bra instead...

I spent Monday afternoon in Gimli, a lakeside town about an hour north of Winnipeg.  Saw a RHD MR2 and an old Econoline van.

Saw this on the way back from the city. Passed it...man is it ever small!!  Could probably park it in the box of the truck! lol
Looked to be beautifully restored too.  Similar colour too.
Datsun 1600


That looks good in silver. There was one locally to me with the Datsun racing colours. I posted it here last year. Still for sale.
They want $ 17,900 for it.

were there any restaurants open in Gimli and more importantly were there any washrooms open to the public?  I'm itching to go for drive up to Winnipeg Beach and Gimli but it ain't going to happen if there are no washrooms open.

^^  yeah I'm itching to get out and do more driving with my wife. She however has to stop every hour. ::) ;D I usually end up going by myself now because I can stop and go behind a tree . :P  Hopefully more provincial parks will open in my area soon. I still need my co pilot .

Big beast of Ford.



This was for sale at $8k (too much) a few years ago. Got a window broken and not taken care - now outside the scrapyard. :(

Hard to tell, the MR2 kits are pretty good but slightly wrong sized, but the proportions look OK on this one, I'd say real, but with shitty wheels.

A Dodge Stealth towing another Dodge Stealth on a trailer, really wish I had my phone out to snap a pic, poor thing was sagging like crazy. Thinking that's a bit above its max tow capacity!

A pristine beige Citroën 2CV went by my house as I was gardening today.

It's a gen-2 MR2, but with shitty wheels  ;D
