barrett Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 veering totally off-topic but I ended up watching about about two hours' worth last night and got quite into it. The best one was a Scottish man who got accosted by a stuck-up woman in a car park for 'stealing his space' and he responded by saying 'hey, you need a shave! You've got a wee beard!' which really made me giggle LightBulbFun, Coprolalia, Remspoor and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebus Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteersWithThrottle Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 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.

GeordieInExile Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 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.

martc Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 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. bunglebus, egg, Coprolalia and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warch Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 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.

Three Speed Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 weird shit indeed. This website tells you all about it- if you understand Portuguese.http://www.gurgelbrasil.com/2SG/hipergurgel/GURGEL-MOTOR3-0484_PAG1.htm I have never heard of Gurgel before. Fantastic stuff. It all seems to be plastic-ish bodies around VW running gear and whatever they could use for windows and other stuff.

Volksy Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
