Oh, there were more of “band-trimmed” Golf III here in Europe:

R32 wasn’t even produced in 1980, man... 1989 is the first year of production of R32 generation.
Here in Poland cars that are RHD are used as “parts cars”, as cars in UK are dirt cheap, and importing one is quite a good deal when you have some rare car (eg. WRX/STi to put parts into Your LHD Impreza GT). Registering one to drive it on the road, however, is illegal (but it has to change, as EU forced us to…
It is not. It is made in Tychy, Poland. :) They have tested them (pre-prod?) on my beloved touge-like roads in Istebna (was overtaken by one). Also, sometimes on railstation in Gliwice (I study there) I watch kilometers long trains transporting hundreds of them - lovely little cars :)
Well... I think that Porsche is just purrfect.
Here in Poland roads can still be, to put it mildly, not in the best condition. A lot of trucks are overloaded, and in summer, when the roads are hot, they make nasty ruts. Ruts + water in them = not good. :P
Well they may have hard work with those poor P1's, 650S and MP4-12C...
Video from today, Warsaw, Poland:
In fact every Polish reader of Jalopnik may had one... or his parents had for sure. Fiat 126p (p stands for "Polski" - "Polish", as it was produced in Poland, in Bielsko-Biała, in FSM ("Fabryka Samochodów Małolitrażowych" - "Small Displacement Car Factory") was the car that motorized Poland.
Not a rally but codrive (an event organised for company, rally driver gives them a spin, so office workers can have some thrill too :P), but everything was legal & secured. Someone from security just screwed up, and civilian car got on a closed stage.
This accident took place one year ago near my village, in Istebna, Poland.
And I thought that learning about Z-80 and its architecture during my BSc on Silesian University of Technology is some weirdo-outdated stuff ;)
Anyway, creating that kind of displays on something like ATmega AVR (easier approach: Arduino) or PIC shouldn't be a problem anyway.
Guys, but we do had those I'gen Justy's (original Subaru) in Europe... also with CVT as an option...
Poland, to be precise :) Polish registration numbers on that Renault Scenic, and, as You said, polish crosswalk sign. ;)
Belgrade! Speaking of which: do You, Jalops, know the story of "The Belgrade Phantom"?
About me... well, not exactly.
If You had so many potholes in Your roads, and so little highways... You would prefer Subaru, too :P
Scrap metal...?
As owner of MY97 Impreza 2.0 (115HP) from Poland, I disagree with You as strong as I can. I LOVE this car (well, it's my first own car, but nvm) in almost every aspect.
