Default Missed carsight and missed spy pics!!

Shit, two days ago, while coming back home around 9 pm, at a red light, a very strange car crossed my sight.. going uphill on the road cutting mine with a 90 degrees angle... it was heavily camoed... impossible to guess what it was.. some sort of offroader or SUV for sure... altough I didn't have my camera with me (rare, but it was night anyway), I changed lane and waited for the green light.. finally I was able to launch my 150 horses uphill LOL, tried my best going like crazy, but that car had a BIG advantage and at the next light I had to guess one of the two possible directions.. and it was the wrong one since I was unable to caught it

I know it's not a big deal, but when today I saw these pics around, I realised what I tried to follow the other day LOL




It the next Grand Cherokee! I know not a supercar and nothing special, but I never saw such testing held in Switzerland before.. and not in the center of Lausanne...

Dang it was exciting.. I can only guess how cool it could be to live near Modena LOL

LOL I was almost happy when I lost him because beeing beside a camoed car w/o my trusty camera would have been terrible LOL!

But yes, usually at night I don't have my camera LOL

The camoed one looks a Land Rover Freelander.

If the new Cherokee goes like that, I like it =P

The old one looked a lot more sophisticated. The styling on this one looks
a bit too simple for my taste. But, what can I say, the clean angular look
is in these days, I just think that some cars would look better without it.

it vould be cool if someone would steal one of those camo cars in the street and take tha camo off and take lots of pics and put them in the internet everywhere.
and that could be anything, it has way to much camo to tell what it is
