You mean a golf?? :-p Or...maybe a porka turbo

[Sebatianos]

Nope it's a yugo...

[gorkur]

Oooh.. Car topic!

http://images.hugi.is/jeppar/59469.jpg
Too bad it's the newer model, otherwise this would rock ;)

http://images.hugi.is/jeppar/thumbnails/58916.jpg
Ah, East German technology at it's peak ;) Loved those cars btw :wub: Although this one is slightly modified...

http://images.hugi.is/jeppar/58089.jpg
This one used to compete in (what I would consider to be) Icelands national sport, the Formula Off Road :D

http://images.hugi.is/jeppar/57065.jpg
That's a slightly modified russian car. Love these cars.. Well, except for the !power! steering ;)

So, can you guys name the makes? Except for the Icelandic Off Road one of course ;)

[Vinnyq12]

Well the first one is a Stretch Hummer2
The second one is hard to tell because I can't see the back of it, hmmm not a beetle on a mini by the looks of it.Though you said east german so that should narrow it down :whistle:

As for the last, I am never gonna get the name of a russian car

[Sebatianos]

Too easy.
It's the Trabant and Lada Niva!

Try this one:

[Vinnyq12]

hmmm my professional option would suggest that this is a piece of SHlT
yes, indeed it is a piece of SHlT

lame? what was lame about my request?


LADA's are ok cars. The father of a friend of mine had one, when someone asked him what car he has he would say L.A.D.A instead of LADA, quite funny actualy.
As for the end of the car, it looks tough, but it ain't.

[Sebatianos]

Then try to answer the question :whistle:

[troop18546]

Not weird car but woah.

[RedHeadSebbe]

A "modified" swedish car :P
And that "icy" car....You know..."wet" air and wind..That will pretty much do anything!!

[Sebatianos]

Yup, but no-one guessed THIS ONE (http://www.abandonia.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=7982&view=findpost&p=169610) yet

Nope - it was a soviet made car yes... here's the newest model from the same manufacturer...

[Tulac]

ZIL? Or NSU?

Moskvitch?

[Sebatianos]

Well the last one is the closest - but still wrong (sorry). BTW NSU wasn't soviet - was it? I think you confused it with Zaporožec :bleh:

[efthimios]

I like the last one, beautiful.

[Sebatianos]

To stop torturing you (I'm really a sweet guy :butcher: ) it's a VOLGA.

What about this one?

[Apocalypse Dude]

referring to the linnked topic

The second picture is a trabant and the last looks like a lada...

EDIT whoops, I was looking at the wrong pictures...


Euh.. no idea

[Apocalypse Dude]

sorry for the double post.. looks like an old citroen, but it prob. isn't....

[Lonely Vazdru]

Actually more like a Renault. The Renault 14 if my memory serves me right. But i'm not sure about the number... :blink:

[Sebatianos]

No it's not a renault, nor is it a citroën... Would it help any if I told you they were making these cars in the early ninties?

[troop18546]

Opel Caddet 1980 series??? :eeeeeh: A really ugly car I might add... :sick:

[Sebatianos]

A car being made in the early ninties can hardly be a 1980 Opel... But it is kindda ugly. Another hint - it was (maybe still is) made in Ukraine.

[efthimios]

I think opel cadet 80s was ok looking.



So, is that a Zastava oh no, you said made in Ukraine. Hmm, nah, I know nothing about eastern european cars. (not that I know anything about any cars that are not F1 cars).

[gorkur]

@Sebastianos: Is it a Volga?

[Sebatianos]

Nope, Volga is Russian made (and I already posted it earlier). This time it was Tavria.

Next one (slightly modified, but still):

[Fruit Pie Jones]

The placard says NSU, so that's my guess. And this thread would feel more at home in the Competition/Games forum, wouldn't it?

Since when do we need to respect the feelings of threads?:P

[troop18546]

Heh, "slightly modified" he says...
Zaporozec. Lamest of them all.

[Vinnyq12]

Enough of these USSR backward motors
Whats this "done up to the balls" automobile

[Sebatianos]

The car up there is a NSU (but which model) - just saying Ford (because you'd see the placard) wouldn't be enough either...

BTW - this is a Zaporožec (they later on made Tavrias - the ugly car from the previous threads) - similar, but not the same.

Might I direct you to the title of the thread? :D

Vinnyq12, that looks like a Toyota MR2 to me.

USSR car's rule man!

You telling me you wouldn't like this car?
http://www.liquimoly.ru/images/gallery/20041119153811.jpg

This one is also good
http://www.yourtuning.ru/images/foto/album_157_szk7xS57.jpg

[efthimios]

Those are not USSR's cars, are they? :D

[Sebatianos]

I think they are (also that streched limo from the first side is Russian). But yes, there were some really ugly cars too (but you find those being made elsewhere too). Like this little fellow from France:

[Tulac]

The lower one is Opel Calibra, methinks...

*Reffering to gorkurs post

[punch999]

its a car?........its a Kind of car? I got it its a special type of car!!!

I have no clue about cars and never have understood people who practically have a fetish for them

[Apocalypse Dude]

Looks like a Toyota....

[RedHeadSebbe]

Or a Chevy :-p Darn wrong I am!!

[Pietafon]

You want to see a really ugly cars ? Check this site :http://tuninguj.com.pl/wiejski_tuning.php
Here's an example:

[Sebatianos]

Hey I had a 126p - but that was originally an Italian car (before being made in Poland by Zastava). :bleh:
And it's not that ugly, it's just not very good - that air cooling system...

[piroklasztit]

Find this out! It's a bit hard :sneaky:

[allyfaucet]

:blink: of course it's a bit hard, there's barely a picture to speak of!

...is it a german car?

I think so.

A BMW to be exact.

[Sebatianos]

I think not. I'd say the headlight belong to a GOLF probably model 4, possibly 5.

[Nikson]

I think it's a mazda 6.
They've got circular headlights... but maybe not that close together.

[piroklasztit]

Sorry for the late reply, but my job seems to overwhelm me.... :( So it's a BMW alright, but wich one? I'll tell you: it's a BMW 5. I just love the BMW M5 :kosta:

[RedHeadSebbe]

maybe a Toyota :-p I know how wrong I am

[RedHeadSebbe]

Anybody here?? :blink:

[a15drian]

That's a BMW 100%

[RedHeadSebbe]

OH........I know that BMW now....With those yellow led lights!!

[a15drian]

OK

[Sebatianos]

What about this one?

[RedHeadSebbe]

That must be a Shop-a-Car....Perfect for famous artist that like to shop..:D

[a15drian]

naaaaaaa i think it's a Cart car

[RedHeadSebbe]

NO!! It MUST be a Carta MX5

[RedHeadSebbe]

Sorry for double posting......


What about this car then :bleh:
http://www.scandcar.nl/volvo/public/img-1085498520.jpg

[Rinforzando]

It's clearly a volvo. It's got their trademark diagonal bar across the radiator grille.

[rlbell]

The link at the start of the thread did not load for me, but if came from the comic strip "Shoe", as the URL suggests, it is not a cadillac, but a DeSoto. Cadillac styling included the most outrageous fins, but fins adorned any vehicle from that time frame with any pretentions of style or luxury. DeSoto was a subdivision of the Chrysler Corporation (now Daimler Chrysler). I am told that fins were a peculiarily american thing, possibly just as well. The 1959 Cadillac is the prime example of fins and american automotive excess. The four door sedan weighed nearly three thousand kilograms, was powered by a V8 engine displacing 8.1 litres (500 cubic inches), and the fins were thirty-nine inches high.

For three years, I had the dubious pleasure of driving a 1976 Ford Thunderbird (a bit of a clapped out beater when I got it, but not completely done in). The foreign students from Europe suffered from cognitive dissonance upon being confronted by it, as that sort of vehicle was never sold in europe. The german summed it up best-- "You sit behind the steering wheel and two metres in front of you there is still more car!".

American landyachts can best be described as all the mass of the new Maybach, without the luxury, handling, or power (not that they were gutless, just tuned for bottom end torque). Another description is a tackily upholstered living room set wrapped in sheet metal.
