(Your) Pics of Cars Not Offered in the U.S.

Doctor///M · 08-29-2015, 03:39 PM

For those of us who will keep dreaming until the 25th year hits... show us your pics from travels across the globe!

I'll start. Saw this pair on Grimsel Pass today.

I have an early one of these which you guys don't get (in fact you don't get any Skodas I don't think):

I'm actually thinking about going for a drive in the Alps this weekend(Sept 1st/2nd) to clear my head.

Doctor///M · 08-30-2015, 02:17 AM

ShocknAwe · 08-30-2015, 09:39 AM

This thread won't go far if its only spotted shots. always a huge plus though.

GuidoK · 08-30-2015, 10:04 AM

Most of my old cars weren't offered in the US

But most of them weren't the sporting kind so maybe not so interesting to post pictures

The clio v6 in the startpost is a rare beast anyhow, also in europe.
I've maybe seen 5 in my life over here.

Daftasabrush · 08-30-2015, 12:47 PM

My Octavia vRS and Seat Arosa. Both VAG cars, the Arosa has been the most reliable car I've ever owned.

GuidoK · 08-30-2015, 01:04 PM

I own a Peugeot 306 GTI-6 (ph2) from 1997 or so to fool around with (not my daily driver)

A popular 90's hot hatch in europe.
167HP and a close ratio 6 speed gearbox.

I think most hot hatches weren't sold in the US...

No worries man, no rules really... just makes it all the more interesting!

Dackelone · 08-30-2015, 04:31 PM

Here are a few from my files... the first bunch were take at the Geneva autoshow last year. The grey e39 is my personal car. Its a euro spec 535iA, basically baby 540i bc its V8 is only 3.5liters instead of 4.4l engine that the 540i had. The rest are just cars that caught my eye.

I'm shocked with the lack of R34 Skyline GT-R's in this thread.

Of course, I would like some real life shots of a TVR Cerbera 4.5 V8 or a Tuscan Speed Six though. Better yet, import one down the road if I ever get the $$$.

Doctor///M · 08-30-2015, 05:13 PM

So much awesome so far! Never knew that a B5 Alpina touring even existed!

Doctor///M · 08-30-2015, 05:14 PM

How about six wheels, two turbos thru a carb'd American V8 ?

I took these pics at BMW's Concours d'Elegance at Lake Como this year...
