Far away foreign-registered cars

[foxbody-87]

I saw a Toyota at my local supermarket (name omitted to avoid PH ridicule) registered in Victoria, Australia. I’m guessing it was a personal import rather than an extremely long road trip! Has anyone else seen cars registered in far-flung countries?

I saw this Ontario registered Bora in the Croatian city of Pula. Certainly surprised me at the time!

Ha ha, that's amazing. I don't know who on earth would go to the trouble of shipping a Corolla around to the other side of the world. Unless they drove it over!

Obvs not a car but got speaking with the utterly bonkers Aussie owner of this Multistrada.

In Faro.

The bike was registered in British Columbia.

It’s travelled 49 of the US states. Iceland. Norway down to Portugal and he was heading to Gibraltar that day.

189,000 miles on the clock.

Legend.

A few years ago, I used to regularly see middle east registered cars in Manchester, but not seen one for ages. I saw a US registered 911 on the Peage in France once.

I've driven my UK car to Morocco twice, but not sure that's excessive treme enough for this thread.
