    Triumph stag, about a 1970?

    Yep a Stag, first registered 13 April 1977 per the British registration/DVLA database. It was last registered in 2016, so it is either off the road or maybe exported.

    That's a longterm gig, must be some nice bennies by now.

    The dustbuster minivans are something of a guilty pleasure, pretty cool looking. I remember when they came out, my dad wanted one, but he heard somewhere there'd be an AWD model, and that's what he wanted (it never existed). I doubt my mom would have been thrilled.

    I'm surprised he's still working - he has to be close to retirement. He also did a stint in the Oklahoma City plant (Malibu and Cutlass) before it, too, was closed by GM. Now he commutes from OKC to DFW for work. He's some sort of troubleshooter, which is why he was offered the chance to relocate.

    IIRC GM did come out with an AWD version of the next generation (Venture).

    I seem to remember the 'Dustbusters' in the original Robocop, along with the then-new Taurus.

    Just discovered or maybe just remembered something of which I was unaware. The dustbusters were produced in a commercial van version without rear side windows or seats:

    Yes. That's a first gen 1992 I think.

    I see a cargo variant of a first gen Chrysler minivan now and then, still on the road in decent shape. I also recall cargo variants of the Aerostar, Astro, and Toyota "wonder wagon".

    Robocop is from 1987, but maybe dustbuster vans in Robocop II, been ages since I've seen it, don't recall.

    Oh, well, brain cells aren't working so hot, I guess. I searched for it on IMCDB, came up with nothing that fit my pre-conceived notions....

    The video irritates me (or maybe makes me jealous). I suspect those are actors shown using the house because none of them appear over 30 years of age. They are so rich that aside from the Ferrari they leave the water running in the sinks and showers. Cohiba cigars, fine wine, fancy food. The house is listed for $1.25 million and is about 20-25 miles out of Anchorage.

    Can you get snow chains for a Ferrari I wonder?

    Year is correct. Not the make. And need a model!

    It's a Volvo P1900, a glass-bodied convertible a few dozen of which were made in the mid 50s because it didn't find a market. Volvo buyers of that era wouldn't go for something as frivolous as a ragtop.

    It didn't help that it looked like crap w the top up>

    Actually, its a '71. The only year for the quad lights and the fender louvres. I would think it is the most famous "look" for the 'cuda, yet only produced that one year.

    Since that is a Russian plate and flag overlaid with some sort of crest I believe, I'd guess that is Putin's limo.

    From the angle of the photo, the crest on the flag looks like Tweety Bird.

    Must be Putin's limo. He uses the Russian flag with the Tzar's old crest added...
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,632
    Which flag is that? I could make some jokes in this climate B)

    The Putinmobile is called the Aurus Senat, and much like the occupant, hearkens back to the days of the ZIL and GAZ Chaika. I believe the engine is Porsche-based.

    You're correct on all particulars. Pootie's Limo is armored and it's bigger and heavier than Trump's Caddy. :'(

    Probably Putin's flag as President of the Russian Federation.
