Went to Luzern and a few other places today...saw a wide-whitewalled W111 cabrio, another LeBaron convertible, a Saab 9000 parked in the village neighboring where I am staying, have seen a few Dodge diesel trucks in industrial use, a later Grand Marquis near a train station, a ca. 2000 Chrysler 300 being used as a taxi, and What one does not expect to see at a park and ride lot in Schaffhausen Switzerland Visited the Swiss Transport Museum too, but was short on time. They have a decent selection of cars in a weird rack for viewing...including a Tatra 77, which is an awesome car. I also noticed they had a Ferrari Daytona and a Miura.

Replying to: au1994 (Nov 06, 2009 12:47 pm) Today I put about 650km on the Panzerwagen - getting over 30mpg in the beast, which is amazing as I do not take it slowly on German highways. I am going to miss that car a little...for the economy, and the very comfortable seats. That kind of mileage and effortless 120+ mph cruising...can't ask for more. Today's oddities...Lancia Thema towing a Renault 19 cabrio, BMW 3.0 sedan driven by an ancient man, an 80s Corvette and a late 80s Firebird in Vaduz, and the tiniest VW vanlet towing a large horse trailer. I also saw a new 7er and a W212 wagon that I think were factory test vehicles - they had all kinds of decals to that extent.
