What I saw today....
Let's start a new thread!
Seen something unusual on the road? Post it on here.
Better still post a pic if you have one.
I'll start things off.
Today I saw......
A Honda Odyssey - All I can say is "no wonder you don't see many."

There's five in the car park outside my office right now. What's so strange about them?

Nah, I was in the middle lane, all three lanes were basically in a traffic queue (told you it was Dublin!), just happened that lane 3 moved before lane 2.

I saw a Nissan (I pronounced it "Neice-awn" btw) Leaf today. Good luck to you fella, I won't be helping you when you're stranded on the side of the road. Better wear sneakers and leave the Birkenstocks at home.

im not sure if you guys had these in the UK, but i saw an original Pontiac Aztec parked in my backlane the other day.
obviously i was offended to see such an ugly car so close to my home but then i tried to sympathize with the owner who has been driving around in that rolling steaming pile for the past 10 years!

Very nice Peter.
I'm fortunate enough to work in an office that overlooks the Cromwell Road in Kensington & Chelsea (London). Some days it can look like supercar heaven (Ferraris, Maseratis, R8s) and I cycle home past the McLaren showroom.
It's good to dream!

Maybe he's a fan of plastic body cladding? Maybe he bought it for the tent? That car is really a shame... Unbelievable that made it to market and as a Pontiac fan and owner, embarrassing.
On the plus side, you can pick up one with low miles for very cheap.
