Perodua Nippa spotted in the wild in Porthmadog today.

Slightly dirty Felicia but it has good rear arches and lack of laquer peel - the two main things I look for in a Felly. 

 

And this looked super clean from here.

I once spotted a 1991 Jetta sitting in a skip in County Mayo. Seemed a shame; they are good cars and do take a load of punishment.

So, roughly whereabouts is that BX?

Just out of interest...

Leek. Staffordshire

Spotted on the way to work last Tuesday, how the hell did that happen? Has it fallen out a plane or just how you park your van in London!

Sure it will polish out.

Also a contender for the 'Cars You Didn't Know Existed' thread:

Polish-plated Daewoo Lublin, apparently,

Christ only knows what it's doing in Belfast on a damp Monday afternoon, but going by all those stickers something exciting's going on, anyway.

Nope. Seen it again today while picking the carlton up. Seen it drive too. Misery is in my bloody but two misery machines? Hmmmm lol

I saw an orangey yellow one of these covered in stickers on the A50 Friday afternoon, wondered what the hell it was

Some sort of Hiberno-Polish rally, apparently - how fast can you travel from Katowice to Wicklow?

Fantastic!

I'd misread the web address as 'Ztombol', rather than Zlombol (pics were taken from the other side of the road, then cropped), which was why I didn't get a result... duh, on my part.

Looks like the rally just finished yesterday in Dublin - so presumably this wagon's crew felt confident enough to hare up the road for another 100 miles. Fair play to them!

I'll keep my eyes peeled for further delights, just in case there's a Barkas or two knocking around... or indeed one of these:

One of my colleagues, who is Polish, helpfully explains that the slashed "L" character sounds like "uwe"/"oower", so this example would be pronounced "Zoowombol"

Arrived in Munich this afternoon. Not much chod around as you'd imagine but I found a couple of things. 

An Anglophile Munchener. 

[Yoss]

But this deserves it own post. 

A calender shot, if I do say so myself. 

[Amishtat]

[Yoss]

I assume the Punto was abandoned in the layby when somebody realised it was just easier to walk. 

[Amishtat]

No, I've seen it around for a while but not had the chance to get a picture before. Can't be arsed to look up when they came out here but that's the oldest I've seen in ages. Despite being an Essex native I misspent my college years in Coventry so I like it a little more for having a Coventry plate too. My Gazelle is YDU

Needless pedantry

[Yoss]

Didn't know that was a Coventry plate. The only Coventry regs I know are KV and VC as that's what all the Triumph prototype/publicity cars were. 

[Amishtat]

RW and HP too, they appear in a lot of Rootes archive photos. Saw this earlier and secretly like it a bit.
