Once upon a time I could look at a car photo and know where it was taken by the styling, I could tell a car that had been built in Japan, or one from New Zealand or Australia, or from California. Now (thanks to this here internet) the world has become a grey sludge of car styling. Don't get me wrong there are GREAT cars out there, but it feels that individual identity is somewhat lost as people mash together their world wide influence and create a kind of beige version of car modification, acceptable, comfortable, the same everywhere*.
Whilst thinking on this I did something that I used to do fairly regularly when we first started this forum, trawl German and Dutch Opel forums for pictures from Treffen. It seems at least these guys are still doing what they do,.. maybe it is stale now in those scene, but it is quite refreshing in a world of flush wheels and US/J/USDM touches, or the inevitable counter fashion of going higher rather than lower.
It looks to have been a fairly muddy event that I found
Love this stance

*Brazil still doesn't give a toss what everyone else is doing though... does it have springs? then it isn't low enough!
