Great thread, and some very interesting reading.
I've only a couple to contribute, but hope you like them.
First one:-
Back in 2004, we were on an island-hopping trip around some Ionian islands, and when we disembarked the boat in Ithaca this relic from the island's German occupation in WW2 was parked up at the quayside.
And:-
This was our taxi to the market at Guadalarvaca last month

Bizarrely I'm sure I saw that 32 whatever it is car on the Wirral the other night, clocked it down the road outside an off licence then it drove past me in the street I live
Originally I thought it was a bit big for a Deuce but I reckon you're right. It may have come down to visit the Ace Café, a couple of miles round the North Circular. When I drove round later on it was in the Lexus 600 Hybrid I'd collected. All the way from the Harrow Road to Hanger Lane I was in dense traffic and the car opted to run on its batteries. That's an odd sensation for the uninitiated.vournikas said:

Marvellous. A '59 Impala? The taxis round here just feel as though they're from the Fifties.I've only a couple to contribute, but hope you like them.

Saw this in Swindon. Some kind of coal powered tractor. No idea what he was out and about for.

Totally O/T but I have been looking at the LS600H. I'd love to hear about yours, a new thread perhaps or pm me? I currently have an ancient LS400 that refuses to go wrong or die.

In my dotage I'm collecting and delivering cars for a dealer and the Lexus was one of them. I was just so impressed with it; it's a big car that drives and handles like a much smaller car. The designers and engineers at Toyota did a phenomenal job. My job introduces me to a lot of cars and I've realised how similar many cars have become but this one really stood out as being different.Thursdays after the watershed for the more 'active'. Starting with 'hide the sausage' but the running order is now in question after the last debacle with Mr Gussethorne thinking he was playing pin the tail on the donkey. I believe they are still waiting for Mr Longshafts statement from hospital.
I'm not that good with digital skullduggery. It's real.
Picking a car up on Friday near Haywards Heath was hampered by the client creating a bogus postcode half and half home and work. It somehow functioned but was miles out of the way down a long, narrow, bumpy lane. That's where I saw this fusion of 18th Century elegance and 21st Century ugly.
