Bathroom green Cube

70s bathroom green Nissan Cube van, car thing. Shame they aren't in production anymore.

Gold Citroen DS

Citroën Méhari

Citroën Méhari. Canvas roof, open back. Late night in April, Boulevard General Jacques, Bruxelles. I've always fancied one of these. Also reminds me of this Moka which I spotted in Ericeira, Portugal last summer.

Ninety Eight

Classic metallic green and enamel white Oldsmobile Ninety Eight taking shade under a tree on Beach Road.

Dubai pimp

Etched vandalism on the rear end of a new VW Touareg, Dubai.

Beirut documentation

Taxis of Beirut

Best and worst things about Beirut are the taxis. Always there, always horns beeping, some cool drivers and some absolute stronzi. The old Mercedes are classics and the best way to travel in the city. (Multi-coloured with decades of being panel replacement, old leather interiors and pre-headrest era seating. Roomy and the old drivers are usually the best craic.)

 Cream, olive green and matte black.  Great combo.

 Touting on the Gemmayze strip.

 Late night run to Monot Street. $10.

 Chillin' at a crossroads on Hamra.

Airport to the Corniche ride. $10 plus.

 Paddy gearing up to attempt the first sub-$10 ride.

I feel like I could write this book after traveling with Felice. Snapped in departures, Beirut airport.

Italian parking lesson

This is Filippo parking his Fiat Punto in a space that is actually shorter than the length of the car. Yes, it was a good 6 inches less than the car. Passersby paused to watch, shaking their heads in disgust and commenting on the inconsideration of some people, thinking that Filippo had been blocked in... unaware they were actually witnessing an Italian maestro at work. "Un bacino davanti, un bacino di dietro... ecco fatto!" Étangs d'Ixelles, Bruxelles.

Green Sunny

Awesome green paint and chrome contrast. Nissan Sunny. Dubai, UAE.

Call to collect

 Abandoned car outside Choitrams on Wasl. First one I've seen in a while.

Vintage Jaguar?

TransAm GTA

Vintage 'side vents'. TransAm GTA.
More side vents. TransAm GTA.

Side vents?

Seems to be a current trend for side vents on cars... fashion or function? (Felice's) Chrysler Crossfire pictured above.
