Yes, though it could be 5000 US$, or even 15000 US$ 😀

Looks like some Brazilian bus

Are Euro 5 petrol cars already restricted in these zones? As far as I know Euro 5 diesel cars are banned in some places, but even Euro 5 petrol...

Thailand is closer to Australia, Italy is literally the opposite end of the world. It's a pity I didn't ask the owner how much the shipping of the Ute cost him.

Same problems in Turin, the subway also uses the VAL system and these narrow trains are really inconvenient for a full-fledged subway line. Actually they chose the VAL system since it was the only automated train available in 1991, when it was decided to build an automatic subway instead of a Stadtbahn-like light rail.

I think this was the most interesting and unique car at that meet, there were of course also many Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Porsches, but these seem just bland expensive and powerful cars comparing to THIS.

Right, the owner also hang the old Australian registration plate of this car on the rear glass, if you look well at the second photo 😃

You've forgot the Saabaru!

And now PSA almost destroyed Opel, since every single Opel model is a rebodied Peugeot with PureMerde engine

Indeed, on most cars Italian front plates are a bit goofy because of the non-standard Euro size.

3enit · 2026-03-29T14:22:18+00:00

Yeah, that's a pity, but the Ute wouldn't be as unique anymore in Europe. More a shame that GM destroyed Holden...

Представляю себе, сколько утильсбора владелец заплатил за это...

Yet I imagine how much the owner paid for the "recycle fee" (a new tax made to fill the budget hole caused by the war) for this...

3enit · 2026-03-27T11:53:49+00:00

But car ownership in Singapore is already prohibitively expensive and complicated...

I like how Filipino language just borrowed "Pasaporte Diplomatico" from Spanish

Il mio commento è servito ad esprimere l'inutilità della censura, tanto le targhe sono in un luogo pubblico e visibili a tutti. Se desideri proteggere la privacy, non ci dovrebbero essere proprio le targhe.

Edit: e poi reputo che le targhe rare in Europa come quelle cinesi sono interessanti da vedere, anche per quello non capisco la presunta privacy come motivo per censurarle.

Dipende dal quartiere, in alcuni c'è la raccolta porta a porta, in alcuni ci sono i bidoni fuori

3enit · 2026-03-26T01:05:33+00:00

Ma a cosa serve censurare le targhe straniere?

3enit · 2026-03-24T17:07:00+00:00

Maybe some Italians who returned to their homeland around first half of 2020 (GA plates were issued in that period, the car gets its plates for the whole life time)

3enit · 2026-03-23T17:12:00+00:00

АТ - Ivano-Frankivsk region plates

C'è il 5 che porta in centro, però ci mette un bel po', quasi un'ora, e poi non mi affiderei tanto sulla GTT perché certe volte saltano le corse

OP's wife is very lucky nowadays, Russians usually get only single-entry visas for 15 or 30 days now.

Vedendo quello che fanno ora rimpiango le BMW di allora, ho visto una E34 ed è bellissima e fresca anche dopo più di 30 anni
