theduisbergkid Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Interesting. I guess the SUVs were stolen to order or car-jacked, whereas the others are just common cars in France, the Smart for Two is a bizarre result at number 1 though.

In Paris every other car seemed to be a Smart - parked bumper to bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipex Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 That's what the French use bumpers for, bumping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanG Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 French stuff to be striped and parts flogged, SUVs for the Eastern European market, 1 series because they want to improve the overall looks of the local area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
