The Riley Pathfinder does not understand your question...
Closer every day...
Mmmm, As I can see, it has ONE seat more than the concept car, which they did not dare remove...
Came here to this old post to share this video: a compilation of TV ads for this car First the Cricket, then the Brazilian one, and ALL of the classic ads for the argentine version many of them I still remember from childhood...
Not just for european imports in the US. Here is a photo of an argentinean Dodge Coronado, early model, looks just like the ‘69 my father owned. It was the luxury version of the local Dodge Polara, which in turn was based on the 4th generation american Dodge Dart. No relation to the american Dodge Polara or the…
Here in argentina they were called (in the eighties) “Mataperros” or dog-killers. More frequent animal!
More specifically, the “wrench as lever” went into the hole below the “two chevron” logo, in the grille.
From wikipedia “A derivation called the “3CV” was built in Argentina with various modifications such as a hatchback. Citroën had produced more than 200,000 cars in Argentina by 1977; production ended in 1979. A 2CV with a heavily modified front end called the 3CV IES America was produced well into the 1980s, by an…
Haha, that’s an Argentine spec Citroen 3CV (local name for the 600 cc 2CV)... More specifically registered in the Mendoza province (hence the letter M) in pre-1995 license plate design. You don’see many on the road. Notice the center “U”shape in the overrider, probably for both aesthetics and to allow the “emergency”…
Jason: I just bumped in Facebook, on an image by this guy. It seems to be a brazilian designer with too much time on his hands. He likes to fantasize on modern versions of old VW models, many of them air cooled, most of them brazilian. I am myself argentinian, and we never had many air cooled VWs other than a couple…
The flatbed look seems very Australian...!
most likely an aftermarket conversion. It was common here between the 60s and 80s.
Yes. Here in Argentina we also have those mandatory stickers on trucks.
My last Garmin GPS broke two months ago. I still don't find it really practical to fully replace it with my iPhone... The Garmin was always there in the dashboard or tucked in the glovebox, it didn't care if it had 3G or Edge signal, (that's important if you live in a country with spotty coverage in rural areas or…
And this brings me to the point of today's column, which is: the check engine light is the single stupidest warning light in existence. Stupider, even, than the "Low Tire Pressure" one, which is this little asshole warning light that tells you that one tire is low, and it's probably dangerous, and it could kill you,…
H982FKL was the closest they found to something that could be interpreted as "1982" and "Falklands". The other theories about the other 2 license plates, are complete bullshit with no basis.
In the past few days, I've read too many angry argentines say stupid things about Top Gear, and I've read too many angry Top Gear fans say stupid things about Argentina.
