Strange Mercedes work van.

That's an MB100, the predecessor of the W638. They made over 200000 of them, mostly for Europe though.
 
Yeah, that's what also struck me. The red one would probably be OK, as it's not "in use" here, but the blue light would, IIRC, get you sentenced to at least half a year of walking and public transport.

Over here, I think the law says you "must not be able to make them work easily". Meaning, if you remove all electricity going up to the lights & the bulbs you are fine, this also probably had historic plates. And they probably think people over here wouldn't think for a second that was a German cop car :D
 
So how much did you have to pay the guys in the streetviewcar for this? :p
You just need to be in the right place at the right time. That pic were taken last december, I stumbled upon the Street View car while leaving the local FedEx depot. There are several more pictures, but the one I posted is the one that came out the best.

Did you seriously just suggest that common sense would win over German bureaucratic accuracy?! :blink:

:p
 
Just found these today.

Agreed.....however this is what a Belgian 'cop car' :rofl: looks like:

So it's fair to assume nobody would mistake a black and white for a real cop car either, yet they still have to cover the lights and even remove them for the technical inspection (because holes in the roof aren't suspicious at all :p ).


*Yes I would like a cop cruiser at some point, does it show?*

Why does every American car in Germany have some form of 'patriotic' stickers on it (I'm assuming that is supposed to be a lone star, symbol of Texas), it's just silly....

Way to keep the stereotypes alive guys....realy.

Because driving an American Truck (it?s less with the Cars, but it?s lierally every truck) doesn?t say "I love america" enough for some germans. We (mostly in an ironic way) say "viel hilft viel" (a lot helps a lot) at such overkill ...
 
Went to the Porsche dealership to pick up my dad's Boxster from a service, spotted this GT3 RS:

downsize_2.jpg


Not sure what the number on the side's for, possibly for track use since there were bucket seats, 5-point harnesses, and a back full of scaffolding in the interior.

Also saw this targa-top:

And saw a dealership lot full of Fiat 500s:

Plus the hook at the front, and the tyres look like slicks to me, but that's not really easy to spot, so I could be wrong.
 
I was just speaking with my dad, since he was talking with the service manager at the dealership about it, and he said it's definitely a track car, probably not even street-legal. Or, if it is, it's borderline street-legal.
 
... out of fucking nowhere ... Aston Martin Rapide. And I was too slow for a decent pic ...
