the 645 coupe looks ok but the cabrio with its big side windows, thing rag top roof and small rear window just looks awful.

well ... sort of. But it's much cooler in real life than on pics. And BIGGER! Man it's big ..

I'd still go for the cab though .. posemobile? I think so

i'd still take a CLK over the cabrio 6 but CLK coupe vs. 6 coupe is a nice matchup.

im pretty sure BMW isnt trying to compete with the CL so the 645 vs. the CLK500 is a pretty good matchup and id say ill take which ever is better, no biased Benz choice in that matchup.

well, yea, the reason i spelt it so weirdly in the first place is because I couldn't remember which spelling meant which, so I thought it would be less embarrassing to mispell (I think I just mispelled mispell - argh! it's so confusing ) it on purpose. I guess, I was majorly wrong!

I wish I had a camera phone, because today I was walking home from work, and I saw an E55 AMG. Nice, I've seen a few. A couple of //M5's, a Maserati Cambicorsa, both very nice. Some 911's, an old Mustang, a Citroen 2CV.

But then I saw a dark blue Bentley Continental GT, parked on the street in front of a diner. I looked in the windows, admired it for a bit, sent my friend an SMS to tell him. Kept walking up the street, and I saw, in a parking lot about 300 feet away from the Bentley...

...another, black, Bentley Continental GT.

That's my story.

Are 2CV's common in the Netherlands or something? They are extremely rare over here. I saw one a few weeks ago and I was thrilled. I think I've seen 2 or 3 in my lifetime. I saw a Bentley Continental GT a few days later, and I wasn't nearly as thrilled.

Right - it's not about the price, speed or the age....it's about the exclusitivity and rareness 8)

You've got to be kidding!!

I see them regularly here, and I think they're pretty "cool". Love the noise it makes, real nostalgic Just like a VW Beetle, I love that too for the engine noise

^ I'm not kidding, a 2CV is a ridiculously rare car where I live. I just remembered I've seen 3, but still, they are extremely rare.

Is the 2CV same as a Citroen Dolly? It looks the same to me. If so, there are tons of em around the UK too. Poor car in my op.

I don't think I've ever seen a 2CV. Josty, have you ever been to Canada? We don't have the same cars over here as you do
