Well after two weeks of driving through Belgium, Luxemborg, Germany, Austria, and France on all types of roads from small villages to big cities we saw a grand total of......


Two classic pandas...both in France. This was not always the case even a short while back...could they be going from these countries?...

Btw...I hope you have all been good boys and girls since I was away!

hmm worrying stuff.. hope you were just unlucky and just did not see them all :/


hehe ive been good.. im always good

Greece and its surrounding islands still have many, probably due to the fact that they can't afford to buy a new car. But I saw plenty of classic Panda's out there.

Oh no, it's not a Euro Scrappage Scheme is it?

When I went to Rhodes last year there were so many Classic Panda's it was untrue. I think they are lasting better in the hotter more southern places (no surprise there).

Sorry it was the surf......I have to agree, we have seen lots in various parts of Greece. As said...we have seen lots in these other countries before, but not now. Of course Italy has more than it's fair share..

I was in France too a couple of weeks ago, and I only saw 3 pandas. All in terrible conditions. I was hoping to spot a decent one and take pictures but no luck. Well, France is still not short of weird/retro/wonderful cars. The Renault 4's, Mk1 R5, many Autobianchi A112's and Y10's kind of make up for the sudden lack of pandas. Hopefully they have not been scrapped in favour of one of them dreadful new dacia's.

This was my small tally when in France two years ago.....
