In Poland I also spotted a strange Peugeot I had never heard of: the 301.

Indeed I remember they launched it some time ago, but I haven't seen one yet, probably not many around here since it is not sold in Western Europe; only in Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa according to Wikipedia.
As I already saw Clio Thalia/Symbol around here, I guess some day a 301 is possible too, since it is the same kind of car for the same market.

When i parked i just spotted the old Mini and was thinking how it would be fun to have a new one near it. To be honest, would be a better pic if the new one wasn't a convertible ( nothing against the convertible but to do the ' before-after '.. :wink: )

I hope the old one is a restoration project and not going on a downhill
Can somebody narrow the year range of it ? And tell if its a Morris, Austin...

Didn't quite get the timing right with my phone for this Skylark and Beetle I saw in North Myrtle Beach. Enjoying the "Best Butts on the Beach" I guess:

Bit of a mongrel. 1985+ side indicators, which looks about right for bonnet badge, black rear plate housing, "Morris" pattern grille with badge on lower right and no headrests. Late 90s clear rear light covers, bodged arches with accessory shop wheels.

Possibly a 1985-ish Mayfair, but as Gamer says not an original CDN-spec but imported from somewhere else. I think CDN Minis finished in 1980 and I don't think they got 1990s Rover Mini Coopers.

Rover 800/Sterling was sold in North America as Sterling 825/827.

1968-1972 Oldsmobile F-85/Cutlass:

http://i.imgur.com/oJf0G1B.jpg

At first glance I immediately though 80s Caprice or Impala, but a closer look baffles me. The tail lights seem to have six "panels" each instead of three. That badge throws me off too:

A 1982 only Japanese model, as suggested here and here (by the same person)? This would be in line with this picture imported in Wikimedia Commons by a Japanese user...


I think I've also solved the mystery of how it got here. Turns out there's a place in Richmond that specializes in importing clean JDM cars: http://www.japaneseclassicsllc.com/

Some might remember the VW that nearly escaped while i was putting stuff in my trunk

Well, here's the front that goes wth it ! :smile:
https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5743/22214312474_21196c6300_h.jpg


Saw but no pics :
JDM Nissan Pulsar, around 1990, driving
1984-1987 Pontiac Fiero ( missed that one all summer long, either can't slow down or park to get a decent pic, have one but my dashboard and A-pillar got on the way, or it's not there )
1990-1993 Chevrolet Lumina APV, too dark to take a pic ( didn't want to use the flash ). Last one i got that close to was owned by a co-worker and the place we were working closed nearly 10 years ago...

HERE COME MY POLAND PICTURES - STRAIGHT OUTTA IMAGESHACK!

The Kia truck:
https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/432x576q90/910/vZtJD9.jpg

Always good to see one alive in this day and age - a few seconds later I was yelled at for trying to photograph a cat on an Opel Astra F - cat on a hot car hood!
https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/432x576q90/910/NO2YW2.jpg

I read about this building in National Geographic Kids - I knew it was in Poland, but had no idea it was Gdynia; I looked up, and was standing in front of it! They have great cocoa, and even the fence (out of the picture) is bent!
https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/639x479q90/907/gAlbNM.jpg

The US Camry, I saw two of these:

The Maxima:

Daewoo Tico:

Nice FSO 125p with pre-2000 plates, found near St. Mary's Cathedral:

The Canadian vendor :grin:

No idea they had branches in Poland, too:
https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/432x576q90/911/DPWUd2.jpg

Two Maluchs, MYs needed:

My compatriots will surely laugh at this name :grin:

The APC:

Can you share the joke?

[...] Looks like SOMEONE failed geography class :grin:
https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/144x192q90/903/thoSsG.jpg

Read in Wikipedia:
Kebab, (also kebap, kabob, kebob, or kabab) is a Middle Eastern, Eastern Mediterranean, and South Asian dish of pieces of meat, fish, or vegetables roasted or grilled on a skewer or spit originating either in the Eastern Mediterranean, where it is mentioned by Homer, or the Middle East, before spreading worldwide.

Unless I failed geography class, Jerusalem stands in a country of the Eastern Mediterranean coast :smile:
Furthermore, the shop could belong to a Palestinian claiming the town as Palestinian capital, an Israeli Arab(1) who gave the shop the name of his/her former town / "mother city", or someone with a certain sense of humor (or provocation) leading to associate both the Jerusalem name and the Kebab word, knowing that most people would react the way you did? Or what about a Jewish Israeli promoting peace through meal?

So is there really a problem with this shop, or is it just you who failed the geography and history classes? :grin:
_____

1: even being a Christian Israeli Arab (catholic or anglican) is possible. Don't confuse Israeli with Jewish, please.

All right, all right, I thought Kebab was from Turkey...

And "Kack" is a German word for "excrement..."

The Tico was made by FSO, it is after 1998 face-lift model.
Maluchs:
The red one, by the plate, is "Fiat 126 elx Maluch" in standard trim. 126 was officially named "Maluch" since turn of 1996 and 1997.
The green one in insurance database is listed as "Fiat 126 el" (which was version made since fall of 1994 to 12.1996), but by the color and trim I suspect it is more exactly a late 1996-to 2000 "126 elx" too (maybe even 1999-2000) OR it has been repainted and customized a little.

The not registered white-blue police 125p must be a fake. Such (often faked) old "Militia" cars are not rare "mascots" of clubs, small cafes etc. I guess it was the same in this case.
For example in Warsaw you can also meet restored 125ps faked for old Warsaw taxis, which in reality are sightseeing vehicles from the museum of socialism.

The APC is Polish SKOT: http://www.imcdb.org/vehicles_make-FSC+Lublin_model-SKOT.html

The "crooked house" is exactly in Sopot. Together with Gdynia and Gdańsk, Sopot makes a metropolitan area named Trójmiasto (Tricty), but still it is town on its own. :smile:
