In Maine this weekend and I've seen some interesting things:

- A previous gen Chrysler 300 convertible conversion.
- A Volvo V70 taxi
- An awesome old Dodge Power Wagon with a dump bed, winch, and plow mount.

Meant to post this earlier - found in a depanneur in Thurso when I stopped to get a drink while touring around on the Québec side last weekend -- friction powered Hummer decorated as a Russian police vehicle.  For $5 I couldn't pass it up!

Nice  ;D  IIRC "02" is their phone number.

Am currently in Montréal for the night to enjoy a bit of the Pride festivities.  Since leaving Ottawa this afternoon I have seen: an early '60s Ford Fairlane convertible, a Maserati GranTurismo cabrio, and a Daimler  DS420 limousine doing wedding duty.

Not sure how I missed this thread.

Anyway, some interesting metal (and potential fibreglass) from a local show & shine today.  I see the GTX quite often, but it's usually whie rolling down the road.  Too bad it had the fugliest new gen tbird blocking a clean shot.  ::) Love the colour..and car!  :drool:

Maybe the same one as I saw last week?    Dark colour in the parking at Zehrs  on Kortright.     In case you also see it there is exactly 1 Audi SQ5 lurking around there as well...only one I have seen outside TO.

Must be.  Doubt there's two of them around.   ;D
Was a dark blue/black - turned from Downey Rd onto Woodland Glen - so in the same 'hood as your spotting.
Have not seen that SQ5

My father in law sometimes regales me with stories of his misspent youth.  One story involves a GTX with a massaged motor.  The owner would put a $50 bill on the floor between the passenger's legs on the floor.  If the passenger could reach down and grab the bill before the GTX was up to 60 mph then the $50 could be had.  Nobody ever grabbed the fifty.  :rofl2:

Austin-Healey 3000 and the big kitty parked nose to nose at the supermarket, as well as a '61 Monarch like the one in the sepia pic. Also saw a Tesla P85 in red -- I think all of the others I have ever seen have been black or some shade of grey.

A few pics from our drive up country today around the area where we used to have our cottage.  Met up with a few neighbors and ended up going for a boat ride and I drank too much, so my wife had to drive the S2000 back home.  That was the adventure of the day as she's only had a few brief lessons from me on how to drive manual tranny.  Baptism by fire indeed!  :P

We came across this on the side of the road in the middle of no-mans land.  ???



What year is the Duster Wink?  A gorgeous 66 T-Bird in baby blue with white top drove by just after I took this shot, but I couldn't get a decent pic.



Rat bike?



The owner of this was my neighbor at the cottage.  It's reputed to be the fastest boat in the Saint John River, and when it's not he will get a faster one.  He got it the year we moved away and I forgot to ask him what is putting out for hp, but he said it will easily do 115mph.  He owned crazy power boats the entire 22 years we lived there, but this was definitely the craziest.  He owns a machine/engine rebuild shop nearby and tears the engines down every winter and rebuilds them again.  Quite a hobby.  Funnily enough they were our quietest neighbors and we rarely heard from them other than when this thing exploded to life.  :o  Very nice people though and it was good to talk with them again after 3 years.   :thumbup:

That's a 1973 or later model.

A few minutes ago at CT.  This thing was so low I doubt if I could slide my hand underneath the front air dam. It had a baby seat in the back as well.
