Schaefft Posted October 12, 2022 Posted October 12, 2022 Then I hit the Renault 12 mother load. Suddenly they were everywhere. @catsinthewelderif you ever need spares for the mighty Dacia, this is the epicenter. RobT, Dyslexic Viking, LightBulbFun and 5 others 7 1
Schaefft Posted October 12, 2022 Posted October 12, 2022 190D 2.5 are very common here as well. The silver one had 362k km on the odometer. catsinthewelder, RobT, D.E and 5 others 8

Schaefft Posted October 13, 2022 Posted October 13, 2022 I still don't understand what a VW Gol is doing in Morocco. Did they sell them in Northern Africa? Dyslexic Viking and DVee8 2
Yoss Posted October 14, 2022 Posted October 14, 2022 Out on the dog walk this morning and spotted this at the end of a block of garages. There was no surreptitiously walking past this one, I had to make the detour. Pleased to see the BD02 reg as my old one was BD02 HWS. Now mine was an ex West Mids ambulance and was registered from the factory. And sure enough... High spec car too, had cruise and xenon headlights. CreepingJesus, High Jetter, Andrew353w and 3 others 6
Schaefft Posted October 14, 2022 Posted October 14, 2022 A few more from today. The 309 originally came from Germany. You might have noticed the distinct lack of Mercedes W123 used by cab drivers here. Ive hardly seen any at all. Turns out the government started a program in 2014 offering taxi drivers a 6.5k £ cash incentive towards a new Dacia to replace their aging diesel Mercs. They were aiming to replace every single one of them by 2022, which means I sadly came here just late enough to witness their complete extinction in Morocco. This also explains why I see dacias absolutely everywhere, they even built the things here. It does make sense from an air pollution standpoint. It's just sad to see one of the hallmarks of quality engineering getting replaced by completely disposable budget cars now. Just makes the street scenes feel that little less special.

Andrew353w Posted October 15, 2022 Posted October 15, 2022 That turquoise Honda seems to have slipped into an episode of "The Prisoner"....... CreepingJesus 1
Zelandeth Posted October 15, 2022 Posted October 15, 2022 Further to the "horrors you see on the road where there are no MOTs" comment I made a few days back, this bounced and flexed its way into this parking space as we drove past yesterday. Yes, the bodywork does appear to be holding the chassis together. CreepingJesus, danthecapriman, LightBulbFun and 1 other 3 1
Schaefft Posted October 15, 2022 Posted October 15, 2022 Last full day for us in Marrakesh, I think I'll miss all the old french tat once back home.😂 No clue what the last thing is. Looks like some cheapo electric/no-license required thing inspired by a low end Jeep. Dyslexic Viking, RobT, D.E and 2 others 5
mitsisigma01 Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 ⬆️⬆️⬆️ those Chinese mopeds are looking reasonable nowadays
