Wow - loved seeing each and every one of those. Especially the Falcon! Looks like the same year, too. Thanks for the photo tour.

It's amazing how small European cars are. My neighbor is 6' and drives a 3 Series BMW and he just looks comical.

Really? I'm slightly taller and I drive a 3 series coupe. Fits perfectly. The average car in Holland is quite a lot smaller in fact.

Actually they're not called cars here but rather motorized overcoats.
