Please Kinja insert this time... please.

Maybe not.

This time maybe...

Damn Kinja, why don't you show my photo?

This is my own 1981 E21 with a carburated 1.8 - 316 in the euro nomenclature. It's light, nimble and tail happy - just perfect for twisty backroads. It is dead easy to work on, and parts are widely available too, so it's a great choise for the casual weekend mechanic like me. Needless to say, I'm in love with it!

Oh my God, theese Federal bumpers looks downright scary.

Your turn Lada!

Your turn Lada!

You can also get it with whopping 75 hp. Well, is that sporty? Ehm...

A guy in my area used a long wheelbase Series III to haul a deltatrike around in a similar fashion.

This is how you do it!

God, this telly is insanely huge. I know the Europa is tiny, but still.

I'd like to see the same drivetrain hooked up with the tiny Up! city car. That combo would make a hip and fully usable econobox. Tucking the battery pack under floor woul'd be a little tricky, but does't seem impossible. Maybe next year in Geneva!

I bet it looks silly whitout covers, symply because the rear tyres sit so deep inside the body.

Well, when the girl started making coffe(!?) onboard, my brain stopped working. If there was a paralell universe where every single item is designed by Rinspeed, I'd like to try it for one day.

What it is exatly? Looks awesesome anyway!

Right said.

That same year when Fiat srewed up the Multipla, they happened to ruin another of their iconic designs: the mk2 Punto. In '03 they deleted the unique blade-like styling, and gave their supermini a Veedub-like front end. Come on Fiat, you silmpy don't need to mimic ze germans when it comes to economy cars!

Yeah, I actually did. It was a Škoda press event, where neither a press kit, nor photographing the slides was an option. But the czecks where kind enough to provide a notebook and pen. So.... this is what i did.

It's basically the Bavarian Škoda. Let me explain: the czech's well proven recipe to make a bestseller is this: Take a german compact (a Golf in most cases); Add couple of inches to the wheelbase; Raise the roof just a tiny bit; Finanally add a hatchback. Tadaa... here's the new Škoda. Or BMW.
