Saw a Bentley Bentayga in Newfoundland, which seems odd. Why not just get a Range Rover or G-wagen that you can actually buy and service locally?

To say you have the only Bentayga on the Rock. Some people are strange like that.

Home is freakin' weird. When I was there with my folks in 2015 while on disability during my whole heart ordeal, Dad and I spotted a Continental GT. When I went home during Christmas 2012, I followed a Lambo Gallardo down the Southern Shore Highway (Route 10) for a bit. Not the smoothest road in the province, especially during the early winter.

There a more people with a sh!t-tonne of $$$ in St. John's than you would ever imagine...

P.S. - spotted a new Defender on the 416 Sunday afternoon. 4-door, all black, thing passed me doing about 130 (I was holding at 119).

Is that because of the oil and gas industry? Or because they finally returned all their beer bottle empties for refund?

Today: facelifted Suzuki Esteem sedan in very good condition. Last weekend's oddball survivor was a mint Chevrolet Epica.

A little difference in size

EV Dan · « **Reply #1108 on:** September 06, 2020, 03:12:18 pm »

I saw one (the Mini) on QEW once and it looked comically smol

There was nothing wrong with it of course, it's just the cars grew so much is size, like the new 'rolla to the size of 80's Camry and so on.

Was in Shediac yesterday and saw a bunch of interesting cars. Ferrari 488, BMW M2 Competition, and a 991 Targa. Also a very clean, very brown first or second gen Honda Civic hatchback.

ah Shediac, home of the world's largest lobster sculpture

Wife had one when I met her. I daily drove it for a bit. It had zero redeeming features, other than the fact that the engine was an I-6 and quite smooth. Other than that, it made no more power than the 2.5 in the Altima we replaced it with, and drank half again as much fuel. Transmission crapped out at 120 000kms and we had to put in a rebuilt unit at a cost of $3500. Should have just scrapped the car then and there, as stuff kept breaking. For a mid-size car, it really didn't have all that much room. The back seat was cramped, and it was hard to fit a child-seat without moving the front passenger seat up substantially. The driver's seat didn't go back far enough for 6'-1" me to be able to stretch out my legs and be comfortable. Fit and Finish was horribly sub-par.

The 2011 Altima we replaced it with was a much, much, much better car in every single way.

Here's a picture of the horrid car that I took when a lady backed into me in a parking lot. I cared not one bit.

Vintage Police cars in front of the downtown Winnipeg station.

And a Plymouth Roadrunner.

Parked next to an Alfa 4C yesterday, in the beautiful Rosso Competizione colour. Such a shame that they didn't offer this car with a manual.

That Ford LTD cop car was a real boat.

Saw a GT3 this afternoon and it's the first one I've seen around my area. It was black with satin gold wheels like the one pictured below and it looked really good.
