Think I'd rather have the Renault Alpine.

That alpine is achingly beautiful. Always been on my ultimate want list.

I'm disappointed by the lack of stanced audis and vw's with rusty hoods, stretched tires, and unused roof racks

The Alpine and the Capri are purty.  Love the deep basket weaves on the Capri...

​​​​​​Not sure if there is sarcasm or not?

In reply to Patrick :

Lol I don't see why there would be?

 

For a point of reference this get together happened in the town of kirkel near the Deutsch and French border at an event called (iirc) oldtimerteile-fruende. That translates very roughly to old car friends.

It's basically a classic car meet, not a stance meet, with old guys that show off their lifes work. It's typically cars that these guys dreamed of in highschool, and there was more American cars there than I thought there would be. Pontiac Boneville, Impala, Pontiacs version of the Bel air, old 80's Cadillac that some guy put fins on (LOL) and a cobra. I was more interested in the manta GSI, 2002's, tanaus, Fiat 500's (original) and other old euro trash. E36 M3 was cool to see

It was joking commentary on your title.

I'm surprised those vehicles made it TO the meet. Wait... are we still on a negativity bender here?

Lol I am surprised as well, I was talking with a few of them. My suspicions were true, because of rust and TUV many cars are scrapped. It's sad but according to him it's what happens, they import Opel GT from the US. Two reasons, one I already mentioned and the other was that most GTs were sent to the States, a German GT is something to be proud of. 

 

Did I mention that they love American cars? One of them was obsessed with big block cars, diesel brothers, gas monkey garage and some moon shine show.

 

Didn't catch the sarcasm, I appreciate the joke now LOL

The Renault Alpines are a dream car to me, but I'm not sure I would fit in anything older than an A610. I'm 6'3", I've heard the A110's roof is somewhere between knee and waist height for me...they make 13" wheels look huge!

It barely crested my knee, probably my favorite car there. Never seen one before, though that could be said about a few cars there.

  What's that pretty red thing behind the VW camper rabbit? I feel like I recognize it but can't place it. 

That sure does make the Opel GT I saw yesterday not look as special.

The Lanz Bulldog is interesting. I assume tractor but it has a plate.

Next to the MG in race livery there is one eyeball on a silver.......something or another, what is it? 

And add me to the list of people who list over the Alpine.
