What the hell are these things, They are everywhere over there, Look a bit unstable to me!.

Canta LX.According to the maker's website they start at an eye watering €11,950. That's more than a Fiat Panda. But you can drive them without a licence.

[AXrescuer]

 

Off topic... but what the feck is going on here???

 

That's what they call turban regeneration.

1976 DAF 66 coupe, usually seen in the company of American shite, see below. Technically speaking from that pic on is all Amstelveen - could be mistaken for another Amsterdam suburb but actually a whole other town...

Yes that's one! That shop in the background is also where the 504 was parked and the DS's were across the road from the DAF, great street for shite spotting!

[michiel]

Sure is a good street, it's the old main road from Amsterdam into Amstelveen and v.v. and I see most of those cars regularly.

A mate of mine bought one off ebay one night......

 

 

[garycox]

Wow, what hilarious, zany people!

[FredTransit]

Is that Postman Pat's car?

[Negative Creep]

I did take it for a drive as well. Top speed is 40 and it's a 1 speed auto box, push for forward and pull for reverse

[Heep]

Yay! Street View just debuted in Canada a couple days ago. Nowhere around me yet, but eventually, I'm sure.

 

To celebrate, here's a Street View image of someone driving a tank through downtown Calgary...

 

[michiel]

W.T.F? The urban tank I get, but a BLUE ladder?

[FredTransit]

How else are you supposed to get in it?

[trigger]

Been doing a virtual tour of southern France this evening all from the comfort of my computer chair.

 

Is this a Citroen Ami Estate?, Looks shite whatever it is.

 

 

 

One of many R4's I've come across.

 

 

And another with a Visa on high speed getaway.

 

 

Proper autoshite porn!.

 

 

 

Haven't got a clue what this van is?.

 

 

Peugeot 504.

 

 

More shite in the background

 

 

Interesting looking Mercedes Ambulance

 

 

French breakers yard.

 

 

 

[michiel]

Excellent! Indeed an Ami Break - I had my first ride in one back in 1974... van's a Peugeot J7 I think.

[Albert Ross]

Best colour EVAR on the Visa, called "Cafe-au-lait"......honestly!

[trigger]

Just been having a look around the Czech Republic on Google streetview, It's like a shite spotters paradise over there!

 

I never knew there was still so many old Skoda's in service over there!

 

 

 

 

 

R CRANEZ R L8ERS MODELS

 

 

Never seen one of these van's before?.

 

 

Another one here

 

 

"HERE, You eyein up me Lada shag?"

 

 

 

 

OMG it's the Subway Skoda

 

[j-j]

 

Never seen one of these van's before?.

 

 

 

WANT

[trigger]

It looks like they have updated the maps with more locations, (sadly still not in my area though) Time to get busy again!

[trigger]

Just a few for now.

 

 

Any idea what this van in Bristol is?, It looks pretty shite.

 

 

 

A chance drop on the Motorway found me this Mustang Fastback.

 

 

And this fantastic bridge in near Rotterdam seems to be home for several classics!

 

[brammy777]

Isnt that Van^ a Commer walkthrough? I could very well be wrong.

[Rusty Pelican]

Vans a Commer walkthrough or maybe a Karrier , still cant decide

[Pete-M]

 

 

They're all over the place in Czech. According to the locals, they're crap, have a nasty habit of snapping in the middle. Which is why you see more Barkas still going.

[trigger]

Cheers Pete, They are a pretty shite looking van though i do like the look of it, How old are they?+ Cheers for the Commer info guys, I can't remember the last time i saw such a depressing looking van!

[Pete-M]

little instructional video will help you with your old Skoda van shite spottage

 

Turns out they're still makin' em.

[barrett]

Very informative Peter. Just realised they have 1000MB rear lights, and did until 1998, which must be useful/interesting to about 3 other people in the world.

They've done the motorway near me, but still not uploaded the pictures of when I was driving around the business park where I work, following the Google car with the cameras, making rude gestures.I guess the motorway is important for when Google Navigation comes to the UK officially, it shows you actual pictures of the turnings you need and the destination. I've got it on my phone and it's pretty bloody swish!

For fuck's sakes. What was wrong with MAPS?

Absolutely!! My thoughts exactly!

[Danblez]

Pretty certain it is a Commer.My mum and dad had a bergundy one when I was about 7 or 8.50mph max but I loved the sliding doors, especiallly riding with them open.

For when you're in the car without a massive crate of A-to-Zs and need to change your destination? Road atlas is OK but doesn't show street level so no good for finding houses on a tat-buying mission. I look where I'm going before I leave, natch, but if I'm already out and about and want to stop off somewhere, or find my nearest Tesco/McDonalds/Ann Summers or something - Google Navigation FTW.Say you're going to a distant city, that you're never going to go back to ever. Like Manchester. Do youa) Splurge £8 on an A-Z of the areab) Go online and faff around printing a map, realising that your printer has run out of blue ink so you might end up driving down a riverc) Use the stars as your guide (caution: doesn't work in the day)d) Swallow your pride and use a satnav
