Dodge Ram Van


Fiat Abarth 500 and Ferrari California - ITALY 2 : CONSUMER REPORTS 0



These cops were checking cyclists. That's right. In the land of beer and sausage cyclists have to undergo the same inspections as cars - literally. These cops were checking if cyclists were sticking to the speed limit (apparently bicycles are limited to the same city speeds as cars, which means 50-60 km/h <--- Which fucking moronic German bureaucrat came up with that bullshit law? Those speeds are only attainable if everyone is Lance Armstrong or something!). God damn some of the rules and regulations here are so pathetic.  :facepalm:  :banghead:

The registration sticker on the dash says this is a "2003 North." Is this the U.S.-spec London taxi thing?

Not that particular one, but I really did see a Mitsuoka. It was as horrendous as you would imagine.

Kinda looks like I'm driving it in the last picture, but no. Just sitting there, trying to figure out which buttons to press... Didn't end up driving, but I did ride shotgun while he blasted down the back roads for a couple of minutes.   :rockon:

It has sold equally well, or rather badly, in the UK, too.

Isn't that roof from a Cadillac STS / Seville from the 1990s?

I also saw a Corvette Sting Ray like the one in your pictures today. It was dark metallic green. Also saw a Jaguar XJ Series I in "gold" on the street.
