Balkan Bucket Bonanza

[Bucketeer]

Yes we do, sort of. As you can probably see it's not very strict though. Solid sills especially are viewed as a luxury.

[Magnificent Rustbucket]

This is a superb thread - and not just for the cars; for the atmosphere of the place.

[hairnet]

how screwed would the weather be in november??

[Junkman]

How much you said is postage to that Land of Eng?

[Bucketeer]

Mr Rustybucket - Thanks very much. I do try and give a feel for the location as well as just spotting, with varying success.

 

Hairnet - November is usually pretty nice. We often get an Indian summer around then but that's not a definite. It can be 30degrees one day and snowing thhe next. Are you coming over?

What a cracking wee place with plenty of bonne-chaude at every corner.

 

Love all the shonky Moskviches.

[Bucketeer]

Last few spots from the last day or two. I won't be around here for a while so I may as well post them now, keep up to date. I may even have spotted some before but after 24 pages it gets tricky to remember.

 

 

 

 

 

I've seen this next thing about a couple of times. What does it do? Any ideas?

 

 

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Is your roof space lodger a glisglis otherwise known as an edible dormouse ?

And more importantly, do all the railway staff look like that?

[Junkman]

It's a pneumatic road roller for compacting fresh tarmac.

100% German origin, most likely a Hamm or Zettelmayer.

[AMC Rebel]

Brilliant thread.  Southern Rail (thankfully I don't have to go near it) would surely be cheered up no end if they had staff like that?

 

I agree with your comments about a lot of Brit expats BTW - where my folks place in France is there are some terrible Brits.

This place rocks!!!

[Bucketeer]

My first thought was some kind of road roller affair but the gaps between the tyres put me off that idea. Pondering it some more, maybe the rear four tyres are aligned with the gaps in the front four tyres. Who knows. Actually Junkman probably knows, to answer my own rhetorical question.

A large percentage of the rail staff are like that, ie; ladies of a certain vintage with dyed blonde hair and skirts of restricted height.

An edible dormouse sounds like exactly what it could be. One question though, is that edible for humans?

[Ghosty]

Hey, at least it doesn't have a green light on it!

[Bucketeer]

I mentioned several weeks ago that I was leaving AS but I've had a bunch of two requests to keep this old crock of a thread going so here I am, back again like a hard to shift tickly cough or pubic lice.

I still can't justify stoking up the boiler of my Victorian mobile phone and trekking round the mountains trying to get a signal just to come on here and spend half an hour sifting through a river of sludge before finding a golden nugget so don't worry, I'll be slipping back out again as swiftly as I returned, leaving no trace except for this post. And possibly a nasty itch.

 

Anyway, spots.

 

My cock was a hoop at seeing the blue Volga pick up again.I still haven't managed to find the owner yet to have a chat about it but when I do I'll obviously ask him if it's a home made pick up conversion, if he'll sell it to me cheap and if he'll adopt me. 'Cos it's ace.

 

 

 

This Colt looks like it would be a barrel of fun to drive for the half a mile or so it would get you down the road before disintegrating.

 

 

 

 

I keep returning to this place where I have previously papped the ZAZ 968 'cos there always seems to be something new on offer. This time the ZAZ is flanked by Ronnie and Sue, the two Barkas'.

 

 

 

*SPOILER ALERT*

 

 

 

Drink in the misery.

 

 

 

Another previous spot here that warranted a second/better picture. My american car knowledge varies between zero and pitiful so as usual I'm just gonna guess what this is. I reckon it looks like it would be called the Chrysler Daterape or summat.

 

 

 

More rubbish that I've run out of time to caption.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's it for now.

Baby Glis Glis sez C U L8ER.

Please accept my Orcadian Golden nugget of much balkanicity..

[mercrocker]

Excellent as always, Bucketeer, much appreciated.....Love that Moskvich (M402?)

[The Moog]

I now have added a Cadillac Daterape to my Amazon wish list! 

[Tayne]

?

[brickwall]

Some really amazing stuff!. Cute wee mouse thing too.

[mercrocker]

I'm rather liking the little car hiding in the trees by the Trabant and Safrane.

 

Is it a Fiat 1100?

 

That will be the Moskvich I liked....

[Supernaut]

 

WANT.

[TataBobu]

Keep you eyes open to spot the elusive GAZ 21 or GAZ 24 on a GAZ 69 chassis. I managed to take a photo of a 21 on a 69 chassis in Balchik.

Держи глаза открытыми, чтобы обнаружить неуловимого ГÐЗ 21 или ГÐЗ 24 на шаÑÑи ГÐЗ 69. Мне удалоÑÑŒ Ñфотографировать 21 на 69 шаÑÑи в городе Балчик.

 I have no idea what that means, I just assume that I wouldn't understand hairnet in a foreign language either.

That's Russian. Spot the difference: "Дръжте Ñте отворени очи..."
