Paris...no Pontiacs
Been in Paris for 4 days now and have not seen a single Pontiac. Not surprised really. Did see one new Camero and all these guys were taking there picture with it. Several Porsches and a couple Maserati. Mostly Smart cars and Citrons. Had to rent a diesel Citron for a couple days. Real unnerving when the engine shuts off every time you stop. I kept thinking it stalled. Glad I'm not driving anymore back on the train today. :usa2:

No Pontiacs in Italy either.
Saw two Chevy's of some kind (small SUV) and one Malibu. All the rest were FIATs, Renaults and a few Citroens, a few Mercedes and a couple Porches. K |
Hold on Paisano...

Reminds me of when I was in Paris with my Mother -in-law
She kept asking me " Why doesn't anyone speak English here?" And also "Why Doesn't anyone take American Dollars" I would just smile and say " BECAUSE WE ARE IN PARIS":) |

I forgot about that until I was telling my office buddies this afternoon about my trip. K |
An hour train ride out of Paris you should find a LeMans
|
As an update: no Pontiacs in Barcelona or Madrid so far. Lots of Fords and a few more Chevy's. I just thought Pontiac exported more back in the late 90's.

Hey Jack forget about trying to spot Pontiacs on your trip and try to enjoy your vacation
|
Thanks, I am enjoying it very much. But as a car guy I cant stop watching the cars also. A hobby that never stops. On the train we passed a junk yard and it was real hard not to go check it out. Hey a junk yard run is a junk yard run.

I think you're right…it a sickness in a good way. It also keeps us observant witch is helpful in many other circumstances.Enjoy your trip and be safe.

Well,you have to go to Scandinavia if you want to see A LOT of American cars.Power Big Meet at Västerås,Sweden 3-5 of July gathers around 17-20.000 cars(see my note on the site).People are driving from all over Europé for this event.
|
Just an update, no Pontiac's in Scotland either. I have seen a couple of nice Ferrari's.
|
Wide Track Pontiac won't fit down those narrow streets
|
Damn few American cars in Paris when there last Fall. They drive hard and well there too.
|
Did see a Holden (04 GTO) in London on my last day.

No Pontiacs! I guess the list of countries that I have no reason to visit has just gotten longer!
