FSO BO11OGNEZ

[Guest]

Only the points deducted for being quite a pleasant colour prevent this from being the Winner of Autoshite for the whole Century, I reckon.

Bit late to this particular party, but nice save Bollz. You're a braver man than me A-framing something that size behind an R8 though. I actually quite like the styling of these late cars too - but then I've always had a soft spot for desperate low-budget facelifts which try to bring an ancient design up to date, which is why I have a hankering for a last-of-the-line Rover 25.

 

I wonder how miserable it will actually be to drive? The only FSO I've ever had a go in was a 125P, and I didn't think that was too bad at all considering. Certainly nicer than my old Samara.

Similarly, am late to this eastern European shitefest, which I am loving! A truly EPIC save, ticking all the right boxes in my opinion! I await your next installment. This IS the ultimate Autoshite!

[warren t claim]

If this turns out to be to tame for you and you fancy something more hardcore, I know where there's a Polish registered 125p abandoned up a driveway.

[RedSparrow]

I keep coming back to this thread to look at the pictures again.

Ticking so many boxes here.

 

-deigned by communists

-based on an old fiat

-old design tarted up in a poor attempt to modernise

-crappy 90s stickers

-LHD

-Shit gutless engine

-miserable to drive

-bad quality interior plastics

 

I could go on.

 

I still love it though.

Maybe go to Halfords and get those crap chrome plastic letters spelling out BOLLZ wonkily on the tailgate. Obv youd want some huge tribal/dragon stickers to go on the sides too.

Wikishite claims that this car was designed by Giugiaro. 'kinnel!

Aye, Barry Giugiaro who runs a chip shop in Stockport.

...she ... just looked at me like i needed sympathy.

 

I tell you what, if I went out one night and bought a Polonez I sure as hell wouldn't get any sympathy!

[scruff]

Bo11ognez... kwality!

Loved the comment about bin men buying them

[CortinaDave]

That is magnificent. So epic is its terribleness that I really want it, if only for the neighbour-baiting that would doubtless ensue from such a beast in the driveway.

 

Strange - they are possiby the most miserable form of car possible, yet ive always wanted one. No idea what the appeal is - it's that "X factor"

[Guest]

We all have some uber shite dream car. Mine is a Datsun 120 Y. I have no idea why this is.

[stilo_active]

Pretty late into this thread. Love that motor, though I have a bit of a hankering for these things anyway.
