I just tried to bump the ol'spotted thread and for some reason it has been stealthily anchored, so I'm making a new one.
Here goes an old Auto-Union I spotted near my place!

Funny the US is short of a pickup truck. I mean if I think pickup I think USA, and the Hilux is one of the most famous ones. It´s hard for me to believe that there's more Hiluxes in Europe than USA.

Especially in Texas which is where I saw it. They way you feel about pickups and America, is the way other Americans think l about Texas. That's true for a lot of things really. If you think all Americans are X, or like X, then it's very likely Americans think all Texans are X, or like X. Texas is like a little super America within America. Best damn state in the union, I tell you what.

There might be setting very similar with the same chassis and engine, but it had a unique body, which is how I even noticed in a place where every other vehicle is a pickup. It was a bit more rounded off and smooth than the trucks in usually see, which is what made me take a second look.

Every car had to change plate for every new ownership before 2009. Since then, all cars with the old system must change to the new one when changing ownership. Thankfully the new system makes the new plates stay for the whole car's life now.
So this means that this car still have the pre-2009 system but also has a very old plate style (silver on black) with a very low number (all plates were going from 0 A [departement] to 999 ZZZ [departement]), as he got only the letters RS, quite a low number here.
Note that now you can get silver on black plates again when you ask for a collector's insurance for a 30yo+ car.

Everything I've ever heard from people that own Italian cars has been that they have them in the shop at least as much as they drive them, with the exception of one couple I know who own a 10's Fiat 500 that inexplicably only ever needs routine maintenance to stay running. When they work, they're absolutely fantastic cars, they just hardly ever work. I chalk it up to Italians caring more about making something fun to drive and beautiful to look at than they care about making it work reliably. The sole exception to this rule is the Fiat Panda, which looks pretty boring but allegedly runs like a top (I've never seen one here in America)

I will say this though, it took me a while to notice but I think even with my limited selection of pics you can see it too; there was not a single non-white in sight. No rich arab cunts slamming their gold-wrapped Lambo down the road into a sign or brick wall. No uppity chimps in their clapped out diesel hatchbacks pretending they have the performance model. If it was London it'd be an entirely different story. The North is to the UK what the South is to Murica; vainly trying to preserve the values of the country while leftist shithole enclaves i.e. Rotherham push back.
>>18062
At least it's just a plate as opposed to full-on federalization. The fake US-style plates really get to you after a while since the font used isn't even close to real ones. Don't know why they shouldn't be allowed just to run their original plates, since I highly doubt anyone is going to mistake a bronze-colored Chevy Bel-Air for another one in the UK of all places.

>>18069
I've seen a few different states, Cali is usually the go-to one however. Here's a '90s Firebird I saw late last summer with "Montana" plates. The stupidest part about it though is they're still governed under UK plate law (so any car made post-1972 has to have white front/yellow rear plates and anything made before that can have silver/white on black)
On the whole it's either that, or motorcycle width plates (like you saw on the 2nd gen Camaro) with the standard UK font.
They're real killjoys about plates too - these two pics look like they spell out words, right? Nope! The Range Rover's "PSYCO" is actually "P6 YCO". Similar case with "MR LION" - it was actually "MRL 10N". Both were ordered to remove their plates due to illegal spacing.
They've been talking for years about implementing a full "vanity plate" scheme like there is in the US where you can write whatever the hell you want on your plate, but it's never come to fruition. Before the 2000s you could also use any font, but since the introduction of ANPR they only continue to allow it on cars that have had them since they were legal. As a result there are very few plates that are interesting, and fewer that aren't wasted (as you'd expect, C3 VET, C4 VET, C5 VET and C6 VET are all on Corvettes corresponding to their generation, as are R34 GTR and R35 GTR on the Nissan Skyline, yet R32 GTR is on a Golf (The R32 part I get, the GTR is just selfish IMHO) and V1 PER is on a fucking Range Rover)

The bullshit here is just some states allow you to not have a front plate that ruins the car, but others you need them. Then other shit like NY having 2 plates.At least we get vanity plates. Another thing is custom plates, In most, if not all the states allow you them. This can be sports teams (from that state) to plates with a branch of the military or other odd shit too.
I just find it interesting when I see US cars being popular in Europe or something, I saw something with Japanese that are into muscle cars, both new and old.
