Hooniverse Asks: What Would You Do With This Lonely Citroën V6?
/
/
comments
It’s a lovely problem, isn’t it? Certainly, it’s more likely for a car to lack a working engine, than an engine to lack a fitting car. But that is the issue here, faced by my friend Lauri: he has a perfectly fine, leftover PSA 3.0 24-valve V6, but nowhere to put it. He ended up…

Truck Thursday: 1985 Chevrolet Silverado Fleetside Diesel
/

comments
For today’s Truck Thursday contribution from up here in the slushy north, I bring you this 1985 Chevrolet C/K. It’s a Silverado specification with the 6.2-litre Detroit Diesel, so certainly worthy. All of the chrome on it looks so good, even if it stands out well enough by itself.

One sure sign of the winter ending are the car meets popping up here and there, as it’s time to get one’s pride and joy out of the garage and out on display. One such gathering was this Slovenian eastertime meet held over the weekend, with a boatload of old classic metal on show. There…

Weekend Edition: 1986 Honda Civic Hatchback
/

comments
This ’86 Honda Civic is one of those cars you never really see anymore. They started showing rust badly somewhere in the mid-1990s, so two decades later it’s a joy to see one around. Mechanically they are unburstable, but the rockers could only take so much Bondo.

Weekend Edition: 1966 Volvo Amazon 122S
/

comments
This 1966 Volvo 122S is probably the nicest car I’ve seen this weekend. I shot it in Jyväskylä, central Finland, just casually sitting on a side street not far from the town centre. It’s wearing the right kind of Minilites, aux lights, mirrors, everything, and the paint is the right shade of brick red.

I took my Miata in for its yearly inspection the other day, as it had to be done by the end of this month. I’ve been driving it for a year now, without much problems at all! That does also mean I haven’t spent much time improving anything on it. I was amused to find…

Weekend Edition: Giving Up the Ghost / Mongrel Meets His Maker
/

comments
The new year is off to a good start. My little Volkswagen Polo has become a running, driveable car instead of a 60 euro paperweight, and with the newfound will to sort out all the loose ends, I’ve now sold my Ford Sierra that has hung around my neck. It’s another tale of a project…

Weekend Edition: Old German cars on a Slovenian street
/

comments
A Slovenian friend of mine, Aleš shot these classic German cars in his town of Maribor the other day. Both of them are in need of light restoration, even if they’re durable enough to trundle around the streets in the condition in which they are now.

Weekend Edition: Estonian cold start videos are captivating
/
/
comments
At this point, I’m certain YouTube was set up as a treasure trove for cold start videos. There’s trains being cranked into life, tractors, you name it. But this Estonian channel is one of the most interesting so far, as the cars and trucks have sat for quite a while, and a lot of them…

Is the 1990s Nissan Pulsar the most boring car turned interesting?
/
/
comments
A friend of mine has a pretty straight-forward approach towards commuter cars. For winter, his idea is to buy the Nissan Sunny that offers the most value for his money – namely, the longest valid inspection for the least initial cash. He will then proceed to drive the car to the ground or until the…
