Default Im in Italy and....

Well this week im in Italy for a business trip. This is my third trip to Europe this year and everytime in here I cant help but notice all of the different cars people here drive.

Yesterday I was out and i saw a tC! Im not sure if Italy has a huge Scion population but it nice to see that Scion is in Europe.

these tC's in europe probably belong to American servicemen/women stationed in Europe who transported their car with them. my friend took his Jeep Wrangler to Japan when he got transferred there through the air force.

I thought I heard a while back that scion was bringing very limited numbers into Europe. I mean there's a Scion site in Poland: www.scion.pl

Course I could be wrong...

Interesting. (I'm Polish and can actually read the Forums on there). Looks like Scions are pretty popular there.


thats def a tC in poland.

This guy even got his with the stock tail lights. idk how he did it but he did.


Heres the problem they're having:
tylne zmienialem - zeby nie bylo klopotow.
1 policja mogla by sie przyczepic
2 jak ktos by mi wjechal w tyl - wina byla bo moja - bo czlowien "nie wiedzial to co czerwone migacze"

w TECHNICZNE - opisalem jak tanio zmienic tylne lampki
Translation:
I changed the rear so that I wouldn't have any problems
1) The cops can get on your case for them
2) If someone rear ends me then it would be my fault because they "couldn't see the red turn signal"

In the tech section, I wrote how easy it is to change the rear tail lights

Look. Even they got a tech section like us.

idk about the rest of the world but importing cars in Poland is pretty common. Usually its older cars that are imported tho, Kinda surprised to see that scions are being imported already.
