Back to Coolhaven with this boat of a car. A big and ugly Cadillac: I have no interesting facts about this car, and frankly I can’t be bothered to look ‘m up I have a back log of almost a dozen great cars now, so I am quite busy Googling, searching and Photoshopping them all [...]

Mini John Cooper Works GP
December 18th, 2007 · 4 Comments
This car has been on my ‘to spot’ list for quite some time now, and finally: here it is. The little racing monster they call a Mini GP. I have stumbled across number 311 in a series of 2000, if the various sites are to be believed. How handy that they write its serial number [...]
Maserati Quattroporte (twice) V
December 17th, 2007 · No Comments
Maserati designs nice cars, and its four door sedan is no exception. Why you don’t see these cars more often is beyond me, apparently everybody wants do drive a Mercedes at some point of their career? Oh well, it is a lovely car, and for a sporty fast car, even practical! All and all a [...]
Barkas B1000
December 17th, 2007 · 1 Comment
And the garage in Leyden delivers again! After the Volvo 1800 S and the VW Karmann Ghia, I spot this blue Barkas van. Barkas is an old East German nationalized delivery van manufacturer, and I seldom see one around. This looks like a B1000 HP from around 1976. Equipped with a three cylinder two stroke [...]
Saab 9-7X Arc 5.3i
December 16th, 2007 · No Comments
Another first for me… a black Saab SUV? How odd. I have never seen one of these before? Or have I not been paying attention? It looks kinda impressive, so let’s take some pictures. And that 5.3i on the back sure indicates it has quite an engine in it. Some Googling and wikipedia later, it [...]
the new Fiat 500/cinquecento
December 16th, 2007 · 1 Comment
Well, we are going to be seeing a lot of these cars around real soon, but for now this was the first new cinquecento I spotted ‘live’, so why not take some pictures? I think it has little or nothing to do with the old 500, but that was to be expected, I guess. I [...]
Bentley Continental GT
December 13th, 2007 · 2 Comments
How about a nice Bentley to pick up the pace a bit? All those oldies are nice, but we all can appreciate something fancy and expensive, now don’t we? Granted, the car is not particularly rare, the paint job is standard and it has not got gold plated rims or anything like that. But still, [...]
Saab 99 TS (approx. 1971)
December 13th, 2007 · 1 Comment
Well, if Waizfisz is posting oldies here, I can’t just relax and lean back. I have to post as well! So let’s enjoy this nice old Saab 99. Some argue it is the most beautiful Saab ever made… Well, I don’t know about that, but I do know this is a pretty car. This green [...]
