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.

Hey Jacques thats CITROEN.....and finding a Pontiac in Paris would like finding a white catholic frenchmen there

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.

I know of 1 special Pontiac in Italy
A fellow Cammer who has found and rebuilt the 1967 Le Mans Sprint used in Bruce Lee's Way of the Dragon/Enter the Dragon,
then left behind and used in several other B rated movies.
Found, Secured, Bought, Rebuilt and last I heard still owned.

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"

It's like it's a foreign country or something.

That's what we usually say when we go to Canada.

I forgot about that until I was telling my office buddies this afternoon about my trip.

An hour train ride out of Paris you should find a LeMans

[Jack Blum]

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.

[Gordon Church]

Hey Jack forget about trying to spot Pontiacs on your trip and try to enjoy your vacation

[Jack Blum]

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.

[Gordon Church]

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.

[Jack Blum]

Just an update, no Pontiac's in Scotland either. I have seen a couple of nice Ferrari's.

[1969GTO]

Wide Track Pontiac won't fit down those narrow streets

[Scarebird]

Damn few American cars in Paris when there last Fall. They drive hard and well there too.

[Jack Blum]

Did see a Holden (04 GTO) in London on my last day.

There is some of this out there, but I have no clue of details, I will get first hand taste of it when my uncle install's his.

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