Im not sure, possibly.  Im reliably informed that behind the iron curtain they had various nicknames including  “buhanka” which meant “the loaf” / and some sort of word play meaning to “drink for pleasure in large quantities”

Spotted in Kecskemét

Also went to aptly titled Old Car Museum in Kiskőrös. 

Highlights to me include

 

Looks like you're enjoying yourself once they finally let you in!

I’m back already, but it was really nice day and a bit over there. 

[Ohdearme]

05 Focus, marks and wear commensurate with age.

 

[GeordieInExile]

Lovely stuff. 

 

Edit: the car. Not the hairy man legs.

[IronStar]

Never seen one of these before 

Very confused by Serbian plates on it as well, must’ve been imported when it was next to new as Serbia banned US imports ages ago. 

[GeordieInExile]

SO much want for this. Seems to be an older gent who drives it, and it must live locally.

Still made in Putinstan judging by the frequency destroyed ones crop up in pictures from ukraine. They use the same oily bits as the 469 jeep.

More Dafs on Sunday. These were lined up for the Dover Dunkirk ferry.

[IronStar]

Driven by a chap that’s probably the first owner.

This one is local, J-GL in immaculate condition. I’ve never seen it move from there since it appeared, it didn’t have driver’s seat, which has reappeared since. Don’t get why would you store outside something in so good nick, but that’s just me.

This has been decaying next to the A7 in Selkirk for a few years.

I’m so lazy that I’m simply posting a screenshot of an old Flickr photo of the car that went past me earlier this evening. In Jersey.

I think it's fairly obvious that van is not connectied to the business, and is a massive leap away from the van used in the kids programme.

I thought it might be a courtesy van while the GMC one was in for a service. FFS.

Defender 50th anniversary v8

And a wreck of some sort

[Stanky]

A couple of spots from my recent trip to Suffolk. First of all an absolute winner living in Felixstowe, literally 100 yards from the beach

Both in stunning condition, and not garaged.

Next up, a rather unloved looking w124 (?) in a nissen hut near to mutha_Stanky's house

No MOT since 2007, I bet its no slouch with a 3L engine? MOT history that I can see looks fine, two clean passes then just not presented for test. I wonder who owns it, and what the story is?

45 saloon. Near Barnsley

Corr and phwoar, love a 50th. Cornish reg too for extra HOT points.

Saw this online a while back, some jammy sod with 2 50ths and a limited edition 90 SV just rotting away.

I actively went for a walk through my local town this morning. There’s unfortunately not a great deal, however, these two certainly stood out.
