I uploaded photos from my mobile phone. There is again a backlog of some hardcore street photography. Today I will make a collection of vehicles, mainly vintage cars. Red is the color for today. Here above is a special type of Mini.
There are also some cars which I do not recall their brand but they look cool.
I always keep smiling when I see a 2cv, this time its gray.
To continue with gray…
Originally from Salvador de Bahia in Brazil, Roberto Barr is an artist currently working in Brussels. Here his van with the decoration.
This is Belgium! Do not surprise cars can use beer to run. By the way Beermania is a great shop to buy beer and collection glasses.
You have to be careful with your motorbike or bike in Brussels. Get a robust lock!
I enjoy our old road companions but I have to admit go for electric cars to drive. Go for green!

Thanks. http://calogeromiramusic.wordpress.com
Beautiful and interesting variety of cars.
The electric car is so cute and compact!
Great photos! Congrats on being Freshly Pressed.
Awesome cars.
You got some great pics my friend !!!
Thanks My Camera, My Friend, and thor27
Hey Lakia Gordon, feel like driving one
Thanks, I am going to check your photoblog.
Not a great year model for the Mini – the front grill doesn’t have the cute factor going for it – but still a great classic Mini none-the-less. A REAL Mini-van!
Classic European cars are great – better than American classic cars imho!
The third picture looks like a Fiat 124 Spider, to use the name under which it was sold in the US, which is where most of them were sold.
A beautiful car. Better lines than the MGB, in my opinion, and slightly more reliable.
Drool, I love vintage cars. My favorites are the mini and the 2cv. What is that grey truck? Never seen anything like it in the states. Congrats on being fp!
nice…..
Thanks Wilhelm Arcturus for the info, I will search this model.
Love the gray truck… I want to drive one of those now! And the motorbike is pretty nice, too! Thanks for sharing a view from your life.
Cars that run on beer? That’s amazing. I love all of the vintage cars as well, especially the c2v. Thanks for sharing

The mini is a Clubman Traveler, the next one is an Abarth A112 (a very sexy and rare car)Fiat 124 Spider, 2CV, 2CV AZU van,(I dont do new cars very well but Citroen Berlingo? and VW Transporter) Then a real design classic! a Monkey Bike! Nice one!

Great pictures and great variety. Thanks for sharing!
Cool. This reminds me of my time in Europe. As well as the unique cars, we shopped at Carrefour all the time. Nowhere else have I seen an entire isle filled with varieties of olive oil.
Totally enjoyed this car show. Does beermania really run on beer?
It sounds tasty, perhaps in France. Thanks Hunter for your comment.
Thanks FinallyFast for the comment. Nope just carries beer
Thank you!
I love the colorful van by Roberto Barr!!! It’s so cute. It takes real talent to do something like that. I wish I was that good of an artist! Love your pictures!
i love the gray one alot…
Thanks Julia for the comment. I will check your work. I will not feel any stress stuck in traffic if I drive that van of Roberto Barr
Thank you Page for the information. CItroen 2cv’s are common in Belgium. You may check here some of the special ones that I come across: http://kaldirimlar.com/tag/2cv/
I will check your motoring blog.
Thanks ThingsYouRealizeAfterYouGetMarried. That green vehicle is actually some sort of a bike. This is a new concept becoming popular in Belgium for the city distribution. You may see TNT bike here
Thank you klassikurvz, beermania is a shop (online as well) that sells hundreds of types of beers.
i would rock that orange car. love it.
ThanksMackenzie | Red Roan Chronicles for your comment.

Thank you sheokhanda
i’m a sucker for vintage cars, nice post
Hello idratherbemakingart. Thank you for the comment. This grey truck usually sleeps near a restaurant. Some shops use them to attract people as in this one:

Great pictures of interesting cars! Do you know if the third one down an NSU Prinz? Just curious. My mother had one for a while, but it was not a convertible. I also enjoyed the music, as well.
thank you for the comment cosmonavigator. you should definetly check the archive for vintage cars: http://kaldirimlar.com/tag/cars/ I have posted recently a set of Renaults.
Hey Eva McCane. Orange one makes me happy!
Dear Diane, thank you for the comment. I think that red convertible is a FIAT (you can see the logo when you check on flickr) but I am not sure about the model. Music is from a Swiss artist that I have listened live this Sunday. Glad that you enjoyed the post.
I love the green car!
Hang on, isn’t that a tricycle?
Hey London Caller. Indeed it is for the home delivery of groceries.
I love red cars too, My favorite is the 2CV. It is so ugly it is beautiful.
The Fiat Spider is one of my all-time favorite cars! My dad had one, and it really irritated me when he refused to sell it to me! (said it was too ‘fussy’ and would need too much work and he didn’t want to ‘saddle’ me with it!) Hah… he just knew I’d feel waaaay too cool driving that around! Fun pics – thanks!
Really Wonderful Cars you have just shown .I liked the Red ones.Thanks a lot for sharing it with us.
Nice! I especially like Roberto Barr’s–it’s like 60′s retro!
My favorite vehicles are the oldest–1890′s to 1940′s.
Excellent photographs. Thank you for sharing.
I love the colorful van by Roberto Barr!!! It’s so cute. It takes real talent to do something like that. I wish I was that good of an artist! Love your pictures!
Lovely stuff. I don’t usually like photoblogs that much, but I’m a sucker for anything with unusual cars. These are some great finds, and I’d love to see some more.
Cool selection. Salivating already.
Hey anne, your dad cheated you in a way
My dad had an orange Fiat, it was really ugly so I never asked him to sell to me.
Hello Scott, I also would like to see older vehicles. Do you know that there is a car cemetery here in Belgium. I still have to make a photo-trip to the south sometime.

Thank you ilovehippolines and Tony for the comments.
Great Photo’s. As a family we do not miss these car shows when ever they come to our area, but living next to the east coast of South Africa the salty moisture content is high and these beuaties pick up metal cancer far quicker than one would expect …
My late brother wanted to restore a Steady Backer Larke … but after it spend four years in under cover parking there is very litle left to restore. Those Big V8′s was heart throbbing …
My favorite is a Mini, but that will not work in South Africa with all the potholes and heavy vehicles we have to share road with. We mainly have to drive heavy RUV’s to have a chance to a save jurney.
Lovely!!!!
Hello For Africa, thank you for the memories you share.
Thanks richannkur
They made me smile:)
Thanks gaycarboys for the comment, you have an interesting blog.
Thanks ryoko861, these photo set is from my old sony ericsson k750. It had a simple but really great camera. I have used photoshop to correct contrast and color, no further manipulation is applied.
Ugh these cars are amazing. Lovveeeee classic/vintage cars!
Hello Not Too Shabby: A Girls Guide to Living on a Budget,
