Absolutely delighted with my Ixus V.

Excellent quality pics.

Here's one of my limo. :D

Not what I would call a Limo, but certainly a well maintained and good lookin' classic. You must have put more time in your car than taking the picture of it :p
Like the photo with the fence behind the car. The only thing that I'd try to leave out of the photo is the metal in the left corner...

Which country is CD?

How's this mushu?

Those are Swiss diplomatic plates, hence the "limo" :)

This is what I call quick action and right now, I find the pic perfect :)

Ah, I had a figure it should be diplomatic plates (in the Netherlands they also have CD in them), only I it puzzled me a bit since I've never thought they would drive these small cars heheh...

Lovely lines together with the splended chrome works. Don't you ever let Abarth touch your car ;)

Actually Mushu they have a great system here in Switzerland where you can have two cars and one set of interchangeable licence plates.

You only pay insurance on the most expensive car. My other car is a Daimler Six, 4 litre.

I was tempted to put an Abarth conversion in the 500 but I decided to keep it as original as possible. Just as it came out of Turin in 1971. It's more fun to drive than the Daimler but with only 17 bhp, it does take its time to get to cruising speed (90 kph with a following wind!).

I think I like the Six more (I just love wood and leather)
