Hi guys, I just got back from Europe and I took some pics of the cars over there.
I could have taken a whole lot more but my mrs was worried id fill the memory card on the camera. I have added some pics which are not car related but im sure you will enjoy what I have posted. Smart car and Chevy Volt hooked up to a free recharge station in Amsterdam  Toyota Tundra  Self Serve electric car hire in Nice (pronounced Neece), France.  Monte Carlo/Monaco. That big blue cruise liner is the worlds 7th largest privatly owned yacht.  Cars out front of the famous Monaco Casino.              4 door Porches seem the norm over there. Not a bad wagon for a wedding!  I could not help but laugh, Police on scooters.  Stumbled by this place by accident in Paris. Its the Citroen Concept Show Room.           The girlfriend was super happy to see a DS3 (below) as this is what she drives.   And down the road was the Peugeot show room. no where near as good as the Citroen place.    The Mona Lisa behind temperature controlled bullet proof glass.  Found this near the Eiffel Tower. Its for sale if anyone is interested - The body looked OK but the roof was a bit dodgy.  And finally a crazy tuk tuk that was parked under the Eiffel Tower.   Well that took me over 3 hours to do this post and 2 attempts. Hope you all enjoyed my pictures. Cheers. Whitty.

Matt black Aventador = WIN.
Some serious cash parked there. Was the Volt actually a Chevy or was it an Opal Ampera, which is what its sold as in Europe? |

Yeh it was an amazing trip.
I'm pretty sure the Volt was a Chevy. There were quite a lot of chevy's I noticed. And yes it was a constant stream of expensive cars driving past. There were more people out side of the casino than in.

GREAT effort!!,
Thanks for posting, out of all of them i like the Tundra the most, but then again i am a truck type of guy Why would you bother with a electric Smart, its already superfrugal on fuel? Yes that 6x6 RangeRover looks like Abdul did the job, bad panel match, painted with different blue paint etc, no wonder he wants out! Last edited by RASER; 28-08-2012 at 08:27 AM.

Yes I have quite a few scenery photos. I'll post them up in another section when I have got the time.
And yeh thought I'd better disguise the mrs. Don't think she would appreciate being posted on the Internet.

Is it rude of me to renew this post? I was searching for a particular pic and thought these pics were worth showing off again.
sorry if the pics are huge. ahh the memories.
