Seen on the road...

[DJ]

I've decided to steal a topic subject from a couple other forums I've visited over the years. It's a place where we can all record sightings of interesting cars we run across on the road. It would be great if there were lots of Lancias sighted but other cars are certainly welcome here.

I'll make this one "sticky" and everyone can add to it as sightings occur.

Please attach photos if you have them.

Sighted at the Denver Merchandise Mart on Saturday, March 15, 2008.

Fly Yellow. Big burly guy with a hot brunette.

Seemed to be having a bit of trouble getting the long gun he had just purchased at the gun show to fit into the car's boot. :rolleyes:

Sighted March 4, 2008 leaving Bradburn Village in Westminster, Colorado just off 120th Avenue.

This is the community where I live and I've seen this guy a few times in the neighborhood. A couple of times he has revved his engine while driving by and seeing me in the garage with the Scorpion but he's never bothered to stop by and say hello. His loss.

Spotted going south on the freeway out of Portland, OR. while I was heading north on the same. About a month ago. Nice red color. Looked pretty sharp, wish I could've seen her up close. Heard there was one at the FEN Italian car show in the Seattle area week or 2 ago. Didn't get to see that in person due to family health trouble.
Noticed a yellow Gallardo zipping around Wilsonville area a few months ago too. Apparently there's a new exotic car dealer in Wilsonville. They have some of the more obscure cars, and are the Lamborghini dealer now. We (Portland area) didn't have one in the past but we do have one of the oldest Ferrari dealers. They used to sell Alfa's too. Perhaps they will again? fingers crossed.

Rumor has it that you will be able to buy an Alfa from your Chrysler dealer if the Fiat deal goes through. So far it looks like Chrysler will carry the Fiat 500 for sure, Alfa probably, but Lancia never gets any mention. :(

seen at my local Fiat/Suzuki/Abarth dealership in Walldorf, Baden-Wurttenberg 2 a few weeks ago - at a poorly attended "open-house Party for the 500 Twin-Air:

Taa Daa... a Giant Jeepy-Vehicle with Fiat badges Galore; whose model-name I did not note, but looking a bit like a Rover Jeep !
The Dealership-Owner-Lady said, "hey John...I'll take your Lance Y in-trade, this new Fiat has everything". I said....."itsa Dodge ... perhaps it is a Magnum & this country is full of unsold new 08,09&10 Dodges with the same equipment at 1/2 the price!
She replied...'oh no, its the new Fiat...produced in...ummm...somewhere in E Europa, oh yes, in Slovakia...its not a Dodge ! and besides...here is a Beer & 2 Butter-Pretzels....now go outside & look at the new Fiat 500 2cyl that burns more fuel than 2 Fiat Punto D. which is a lot more car-for-the-money ! How will I sell the Twin Air at that price, when it has not even one advantage to boast about ? I am worried, because I have to buy a lot of them ...& I already have a lot full of unloved unwanted Suzuki that I can't give away ! Do you want a - made in CZ Suziki Jeep Automatic at a 40% Discount; I casn put Fiat Badges on it if you want ?

I went outside with my beer & pretzels & enjoyed the sun ! There were VERY FEW VISITORS ! Even with free-beer !

Svrl days ago I was reading a BMW Diesel 4 Door Luxo Sedan Test--- & --- in the same Magazine... a 500 Twin-Air Test. Both consumed ca. 6,5 Liter per 100km average.
Not much for a Luxo BMW; a lot lot lot for a baby (made in Poland) Fiat !

I'll (we'll) keep our Lanc Y, thank you. It burns 5L or less ! Even after 12 years !
