What did you see on the road today?


Recommended Posts

I found this (what I think is a 2013} Camaro Hot Wheels Special Edition in a DC Metro parking lot today. I think the marks below the right tail light are an artifact of the Magic Eraser I used on the pictures.

Had a fox chassis T-Bird drive past the complex........... Oxidized blue paint and phone dial wheels. Nothing extra rare or special, but something you don't normally see! Plus, they're one of my favorite cars after owning one in my teens..........

Spotted two identical vehicles traveling together only different colors, one blue and the other a redish orange. I've seen this type of car before but wasn't sure and had to look it up. It appears they may be a CATERHAM kit car? Just a guess from what I viewed on the web. Didn't get a photo, but this photo from the web will do.

Yes it could be either a Caterham or an original Lotus Seven, depending on the badge on the front of the bonnet (hood). The Lotus badge is oval in British Racing Green with gold lettering.

Unfortunately they were moving in heavy traffic, 4 lanes over from where I sat at the traffic light. No way of telling unless we cross paths again. Thanks for the info, I'm never to old to learn something new. ?

This one is a Caterham and belongs to a friend of mine. He had a racing one too but it was sadly written off in a crash.

This weekend is the small engine & steam show at the Farm Museum next to our neighborhood. I stopped to chat with a few of the John Deere guys trying to spark some interest in buying the 1950 John Deere M-series tractor my brother and I inherented from our Dad. While there I snapped a few photos. Nice family owned international rig, a 1929 Diamond T dump bed and a really clean 1959 Mack B61 semi. I may go back tomorrow if I don't travel to the The Super Sunday Showdown model show and contest held at 240 North Walnut Street, Boyertown, Pa. 19512

Getting ready to pull out of my drive this afternoon and a 49-50 Chevy pickup cruised by. Real shiny chrome, even shinier black paint, minimal rubber rake with 17 or better wheels. Never seen it before, must do some investigating.
