Car Spotting

[joeb]

I wish I would have waited a few more seconds to take the picture, because a pristine mid '90s beige dodged Dakota pulled up behind the Corvette.

Nice C2 here, thanks. At least with a soft top you don't have to ask if its a split… Just found one for sale here: https://www.americancarcity.fr/annon...t/corvette/164

I'm not going to lie, I browsed that dealers site for an hour last night! It is magnificent! I never thought about a dealership specializing in American cars in a different country. Because most of the time the American cars sold here don't bother to provide versions road legal in other countries.

So effing gross. What is wrong with people? You just made your truck unable to perform truck duties.....

An American hero. Unlike those dbags in Broads post. The funny thing about this particular home Depot in town, everybody just parks in the loading section. They'll be in the store for 45 minutes and there's constant calls over the intercom to move your vehicles. If you are parked in the loading zone. But non-Stop they're just blocking everything. It is not like this at the other home depots in town, don't know how this became the culture.

We have a number of dealers specialising in US Muscle here as well. One that is always a good perve is "Classic Custom Imports".





Always got some nice stuff. In fact atm they also have a red C2 with white ragtop. A$110,000 of our Aussie Pesos. About 73K US.

Couple of nice Camaros atm in stock I see.... https://classiccustomimports.com.au/current-stock/

They have a very sweet fully restored '55 Chev pickup (with 'mild' 350 and other tricks) in their "our rides" section.

Nice place.

And nice sofas.
I’d like some nice sofas in my garage. Need more room in the garage first…

In the late 60s through to possibly the 90s, there used to a second-hand car dealer in Mill Hill, North London that only dealt in American cars (I think owned by a club type racer/ex-racer). I think there was also one nearer Central London, but I can't think where that one was; and I'm sure there were others as well.

Of course, we didn't have t'internet back then, and we had to rely on good old Yellow Pages!

Mike I remember one place to go to was Kensinton mews (is that Central London?) to find or watch some rarities. No more the case today I fear.

Any mews in Kensington would most certainly be in Central London, however that wouldn't have been the one I'm trying to remember. That one may have been on the Finchley Road near Swiss Cottage (where I misspent most of my youth), although I'm not really certain about that as the location.
