Oh, I am sure there are many things I would love there....anything classic French and Italian is high up there in my books, and small cars and quirky cars as well! :) The classic FIAT 500 and FIAT 126 are near the top of my “buy a project/weekend car” list! :D

Working at a museum like that would be a dream job. I have museum experience, a History degree, an Education degree, and cars are my passion!

Yes, but the big question here is.....will the Obama-Biden and Veggie Oil stickers on the Hummer still keep the new neighbourhood at bay...?

I don’t any of the newest generations Civics could manage such a feat either.

I doubt the older Italian hatches could do as you say, however, their main enemy was rust, not mechanical failure, so, as long as the body was kept in good shape and undercoated, some of them seemed to have lasted quite awhile! :)

I respect them, but I like quirky stuff....so, although the Civic is a good car, (my mom had an EK sedan), they just aren’t as interesting to me as forbidden fruit, haha!

I was just thinking the same thing mate....I’m not one for British cars for the most part, but that little number is gorgeous...

I don’t know why, but I am a huge small hatchback guy, and the FIAT Panda (both the original, or the newer ones!) are high up on my list....pity neither was sold in Canada, but I could import a classic Panda someday! :)

And it has a car engine - a Viper V10 to be exact! :D

I still think the Ferves Ranger should’ve been in there somewhere...an off-roadrer based on an Italian rear-engined city car and built by Ferrari is just plain crazy....CRAZY AWESOME! :D

How has nobody mentioned this!?!? My favorite because I am a huge FIAT fan, especially of the original 500 and the 126.

The Ferves Ranger is the most unlikely offroader. http://bit.ly/1K0Kifo


You owe Torch for this one a few years ago, it should be top of the list! (http://jalopnik.com/5971829/the-fe…)

Chance of a lifetime Jason! ENJOY IT! There’s a beat-up Piaggio Ape that somebody imported in the town 5 mins from me, not sure what model....guy also imported a Porsche 356 Speedster, a classic Targa 911, a classic Mini, something like 5 classic Vespas, and two classic FIAT 500s.

Love Roadkill....these two are just two guys that genuinely know how to have a blast! :)

...this guy.....this guy wins at being a petrolhead...

Glad to see the Autobianchi is doing well! :D

I’ll take any of those classic FIAT 500s, that light green Renault wagon, or any of those Alfas please!

Also.....as a petrolhead.....is it sad that I actually want a Trabant? LOL

No harm in trying! If not, you could always tweak the Y10 a bit! :)

You would definitely feel it....the A112 only weighs 670kg! That would’ve been a figure of something like 72hp per metric tonne before (if it weighed a tonne!), and with the new engine, it would be something like 116hp per metric tonne (...once again, IF it weighed a tonne!)

Quite a difference! :)

Looking forward to reading about this one Máté! I love me some small Italian cars! :D

I spy a 3rd-gen Caravan with Ontario plates....seems a bit out of place...

I am HYPED for this. You and I have very similar tastes, so I know anything crazy you put up, I will immediately enjoy! :D

The guy who has that Subie 360 video - you should follow his channel on Youtube Jason - some really interesting videos, and he has similar tastes to you! (And I as well!) He’s currently doing a miniseries on restoring an Isetta to running condition, and he owns two old German 2-stroke DKWs... :)
