Hi Friends:
We are having a great time in Brugge or Bruges. It is a great little town. The people are fun, friendly, and helpful. As you may now, I have been having software problems from Bruges. I think it is the fourm software, but others may disagree. I know that I have never had problems before. Or maybe it is just a hangover from the Burssels "curse."
Anyway, I finally saw a few new-model BMW's and a model I am unfamiliar with and took some snappies. Also, I took a few vids of transportation modes in Bruges.
All the files I am going to try to attach are seriously shrunken so much of their quality is gone. The vids were taken mith my Minolta--which allows at most 30 sec. vids. I hope it all works out and I end uo posting something you can enjoy.
We are looking forward to being home soon.
I will try to attach the vids separatly. They are MPEG4's so they may not attach properly. I don't what is happening. I have attached 9 small photos, but only 4 1/2 are showing up. I'll try to attach the others to a reply to this message. Nevermind, they all decided to show up. I give up on the vids for now. Later
Here are the vids maybe.

Great, you finally managed to get the pics public.
If you are meaning the 3 door grey car as "an unfamiliar car",
I can tell you the model is a E46 Compact.
It is probably a 316i or a 318i, and the car is based on the 4-door E46.
The Compact was also availble as an 325i.
The 3-series E36 was also availble as an Compact.
I used to own a 316i MY '95.
The Compact is not more built, the 1-series is the new Compact.

Hi Rr:
Actually, while I mentioned pics originally, what I was trying to post at the time were some vids. I still am having problems with them, but never give up. I think I know what is wrong now. Thanks for the info on the "mystery" mode.

One should not be confused with the Compacts Ti and the Tourings iT letterings.
As said, there was a 316Ti (318Ti and 325Ti) Compact and a 316iT (and 330iT etc),
where the "T" stands for Touring.
The E60's are for example 530iT and 530iAT where the "A" stands for automatic transmission.
One more example 530dAT.

I did not first relize that you still are in Europe.
Have a great time in London, and keep snapping pics!
I have not been to London since they introduced the city tolls,
I wonder are there any cars in the city
Bless ... that I do not live in Stockholm, they started the same
stupid city toll tax system this Thuesday!

Yep, we are still here. Did you see that I got one of the vids posted above? I am going to try again. Still lots of great cars in London.
Best, Znod
I was able to post one of my vids a moment ago. I am going to try to post all of them again below. Remember, they have to do with Bruge modes of transportation.

I checked out one video you sent. Only one hp
You should really find the time to see more about Europe.
Brugge in Belgium and a small part of London isn't anything!
It is about the same as landing on the Kennedy airport in NY
on the way to Acapulco in Mexico and say: America is great.
Go get a jar or more of good British beer!
