Fiat 126p vs. Rolls-Royce on Rodeo Drive
|
So there is some crazy Polish guy, also named Kamil, specifically Kamil Knapczyk, who decided to travel around the United States. Very cool – if you haven’t taken a cross-country trip, you should do it as soon as possible. That Kamil chose a very atypical vehicle for this trip, however, a classic Polish-made Fiat 126p, also…

Craigslist: 1983 Polski Fiat 126p in Virginia
|
It is commonly known as Maluch in Poland, a Munchkin, and has been written about ad nauseam in recent years. For some reason Poland is experiencing feeling of nostalgia for those old days, perhaps people have more time on their hands now that they don’t have to stand in long lines for toilet paper, and every object…

Can the 2018 Mazda MX-5 Miata make a good family vehicle?
|
I am in my early forties. I am married and I have two kids. I have a nice home and a decent family vehicle. I have something resembling a career and a sweet side gig writing about cars. You’d think I’m living the dream, but I’m not. I have a secret deep down inside me…

2017 Barrett-Jackson Northeast – More than just muscle cars
|
I have spent more time than I want to admit watching various automotive auctions on the TV. It’s good background noise and occasionally something very interesting comes through in between what seems to be a sea of classic American muscle cars in various tastes of modifications.

Each event is a meet, cars-and-coffee type of a thing, where everyone can check out each other’s ride and shoot the shit. Dumb behavior, such as burnouts and racing, is strongly discouraged.

V.I.S.I.T. – Random Cars of Warsaw
|
In October of 2014 I spent a few days in Warsaw, visiting with family. I managed to find a little time to aimlessly wonder around that city that I was born in, and moved out of at the age of ten.

Polish Cars Living and Dying in Poland

Poland’s automotive history goes back to the 1920’s when the country was recovering from the World War I. Fighting and smaller wars went well into the 1920’s, despite the world war officially ending in 1918. At the same time Poland was turning into a very industrialized nation: ports, mining, rail, manufacturing, and first airports were all…

|
The posts that discuss various crappy, old, interesting, rare, and obscure cars found by the readers of Zlomnik.pl are usually divided into their countries of origin, just keep things interesting and/or informative. Over the years of looking at all those pictures I found many that simply do not belong anywhere; they’re weird, mixed, just different,…
