      @@IWrocker This 49 Suzuki was sold in the US as Geo Metro. I recall in the early 1990s GM tried hard to push it on TV, and it didn't quite work out. The price, IIRC, was one or two grand above the bottom level set by Chevy Cavalier and Mexican VWs, so it didn't sell much. But it was certainly present on the road then and it felt just like another American small car.

    The Zastava was a local car maker (when Slovenia was part of a bigger country - Yugoslavia) that produced small Fiat models that they acquired the license on. These were not carbon copies form fiat, they kept changing some things. Later on they made their own model, Yugo, and this one you obviously know :)

It was orange and it had a giant redbull sticker all over the front hood. I had it for about 2 years. And when i was about 13 he bought me a Renault 4 gtl. He then later converted it into an lift mechanism, so he could lift building materials into the 3 floor, when he was building his apartment 🙂

      ​@Stuntmannetje I KNEW it! I saw that, and I said, "Looks like a Geo Metro to me." Biggest POS car to ever come out of the early 90s market. When i got my first car at age 16, it was an '89 Ford Mustang LX 4 cyl. 2.3L. (Foxbody) Only made about 92 hp. Terribly underpowered. It was all it could do to hit 80 mph. Only registered 85 mph on the Speedometer. And it was a mechanical nightmare. The whole car. Every little thing that could go wrong did, from power window/lock switches all the way up to power train parts. I had the car for 5½ years and I bet it was in the shop for about a year total.
      My current vehicle is a 2016 F150 w/ 3.5 L Ecoboost (twin turbo) that makes 365 hp and 420 lb ft of Torque. Unfortunately I haven't been able to drive it for about 3 years due to health reasons and it's only got 14K miles on it. In order for me to be able to get back in tbe thing reliably, I'm gonna have to install lowering airbag ride suspension on it at who knows what price.

      @@shabasRS , stationary radars are less common than police controls. On A1 highway there are about 10 in both directions (250 km give or take) and there are warning signs before the zone. You have to pay attention to police cruisers (BMWs) on highway ramps or on the side of the road. But since they are flourescent yellow, you can spot them on a great distance. Regarding the regional and country roads, most police controls are in towns or villages.

    Regarding the engine hood opening direction: The "reverse" way is "safe" if the lock should not close properly - the hood can then not errratically block the driver's view when it should flip up and also the additional drag would be quite dangerous. Also, it allows a 90° opening angle for better access instead of just 45 or so.

Basically the biggest freestyle car meet around the whole Wörthersee lake. It's a shame they banned it, because it was not an official car meet, so there were troubles with law, car accidents sometimes and a lot of noise and traffic, so they banned it. But it was an awesome place to visit. Nature, beautiful hills, lakes, summer sun and extraordinarily perfected cars. Just awesome.

Ford did that to be able to keep the bigger engine and gearbox without having to implement it in the Escort production line. Also, they differ in the production cycle. The first 2500 units had a beastly Garrett charger on it (to have that for the WRC models). After that, Ford tried to tame it down a little.

    The biggest car meet outside the USA was the Power Big Meet in Västerås in Sweden. It was so big that even Americans brought their cars to Sweden. Each year around 11,000 cars and over 100,000 visitors came. This car meeting was mainly for American cars from the 1930s until the 2000s. There were original cars, Hot Rods, Street Rods, Low Riders, Custom. Muscle cars, Street Race cars. There were cars from Finland, Norway, Denmark, England, France, Switzerland, USA, Italy; Spain, Poland, Bulgaria, and many more countries as well as visitors from all over the world. What separates Swedish car meets from car meets in other countries is that, in addition to Sweden having larger meets, there are also meets for the whole family, you have activities for children too, you have sales of car parts, food, sales of clothes from 30- century up to the 50s, collects things that are from the 30s and up to the 50s. Everything connected to America's 50s. Today this car meeting is not as big, as the car magazine Power Magazine chose to move the meeting. Despite this, there are such car meetings every summer in Sweden, from Haparanda in northern Sweden to Malmö in southern Sweden.

      The Zastava 850 was the final development of a licence made FIAT 600, first was Zastava 600, then 750 and, at last, 850, same as SEAT 600, a licence made FIAT 600 in Spain. At the time in Jugoslavia some people used to change its engine with a bigger one, I believe around 1000cc, that was too big to stay in the bay, maybe the second Zastava 850, the red one, could be one of them, as it has the engine hatch slightly opened. I remember those cars in my town, Trieste in Italy, that was the "market" for the Jugoslavians, between the '70s and the '80s, they used to cross the border, buy a lot of stuff hard to find at "the other side", like blue jeans and good coffee, and come back to trade the goods through the iron curtain.

    8:42 The best thing about Škoda Octavia is that that in Czech Republic are cheap as hell. Its gona be my first car and it will cost me just 1500 USD in good condition. So if someone wanted to import one to the US, The shipping gona be probably more expensive than the car itself.

In France on the plateau near the Dordogne river close to St. Cyprien while on holiday at my aunt's and uncle's farmhouse-turned holiday home. The area was deserted back in the 1980's. I went back there last year to find it completely built up with (mostly British owned) second homes. What a nice memory. And what a contrast in 2022.

    The Renault Clio Williams, (at 4:32), was developed to celebrate the Williams-Renault F1 team winning both driver's and constructor's championship in 1992 creating a wickedly quick 'Hot Hatch'. A little car weighing 2000lbs with a tuned 2 litre engine, 150bhp, 129ftlb at lower revs, a 0 to 60 time of 7.5 seconds and topping out at 134mph. The bulge is off set as it's a transverse, front wheel drive layout.
    I think the Honda at 8:00 is an Accord Type R. They were less common than the Civic Type R but they were just as quick.
    The Blue Fords at 9:45 are Escort RS Cosworth probably with slightly different body kits fitted. They always get peoples attention. You need to check out it's bigger brother the Sierra Cosworth RS500.

    That Clio wasn't a Williams, but a Clio 16V made to look like a Williams. The Clio 16V was a 1.8 liter "hot hatch" with wider track than the regular models and a wider body to fit, as well as the bump on the hood to fit the engine and the vent above the outlet manifold. It was available pretty soon after the model launch. The Williams was a special edition launched 2 years later with a 2 liter engine, only available in Williams blue and with golden 15" rims (not those in the video) and with only a few thousand made. Very nimble with the short wheelbase and a weight of 1 tonne. Very similar cars, but since the owner himself speaks of a 1.8 liter, this has to be a 16V. One of the last FWD hot hatches in the 150 hp range (16V and Williams were just 11 hp apart in peak power), before the typical top versions of compact and subcompact cars became turbocharged, heavier, sometimes AWD, faster and more stable at high speed but also more expensive and less nimble.

Those ones are more pretier IMO . The Clio Williams had a 2 liter 16 valves inline 4 and was used a lot in rally here in Europe . But if you want to look for a Clio that was an authentic beast in rally search for Renault Clio 3.0 V6 - 24Valves , a 2 seats Mid-engine RWD that weight 1335 kg / 2943 lbs.
