Cars you didn't know existed until very recently.

I love dash cam videos, I think watching them and having my own dash cam has made me much more aware of the stupid shit other people do, and helped me pre-empt it.

My favourite insult so far is "douche-canoe" on a US one.

Russian and Australian motorists seem to have a similar disregard for the right of way of other road users. The trucks especially in those countries are genuinely terrifyingly badly driven.

Where as in  the UK they hit the horn and swear a lot!

 

Sad reflection on some people‘s priorities. Especially those videos of someone falling over and noone apparently bothering to see if they‘re ok.

That's gorgeous. There's only ONE convertible left and it's had a full restoration - what a lovely little thing.

Even cooler - it was restored by BMW apprentices in the same factory in which it was originally built.

Personally I am aware of the FSR Tarpan having fought in hand to hand combat with them in several bustling eastern Bloc cities way back in the good old, cold old days. What I didn't know is that a Tarpan is an extinct wild horse that was found in Eastern Europe, the last captive one died in Russia in 1909.

Apologies if this has already been posted (couldn't be arsed to check 140 odd pages of this thread, but the Kiwi built Trekka (not the 4wd Kangoo) surely deserves a place here.

CUUUUTE! I absolutely love it, especially as it's such a blatant Land Rover rip off (albeit 2wd). It's like a little boy trying to convince people, he's a grown up. I AM A LAND ROVER, I AM!

Hubnut drove one in NZ on his channel.

Apparently, there was the brief flirtation with the idea of a Renault 14 coupe! Ligier were involved apparently.

That's an interesting design even by 1970s French standards.

I like the way they changed all the metalwork and glass but kept the rear light clusters.

That looks like some woeful kit car that should be sat under a taup on somebody's drive in a comical state of disrepair.

There's at least one in the UK, seen it at a show. You can buy a Matchbox version too.

Those Fiat Samanthas are such a pretty car, 

IIRC back in the early ninetys one was spotted rotting away in the long stay car park at Alicante Airport. Think it was in the spotted/rust in peace section of 'Your Classic' magazine.

Never seen one of these before.
Golf Country.
4 wheel drive Volkswagen Golf.
Raised ride height, underbody protection, front and rear bull bars.
British registration but left-hand drive.
I think they all were as they were allegedly never sold over here.
Seen outside the industrial unit opposite where I work on 22/01/2018 then a few more times in the next week or so. Not seen again since.
