Howdy and welcome to "NORWEGIAN GEAR HEADS ON THE RIGHT WAY"!  

This here's a car blog made by and for folks who eat, sleep, and breathe cars. I'm fixin' to share my know-how and love for automobiles, mostly them street machines from the '90s and 2000s that still rock that '80s vibe. I'm gonna show y'all how to be a true-blue råner in 2020 with all the flair and class you can muster!


The blog's main goal is to be a reference guide for all y'all who are interested.

Hyundai Galloper/Mitsubishi Pajero!

(The Galloper version of the Pajero was produced with an 80s design all the way until 1997. You can import this from overseas, and it can be decked out with a winch, wide tires, and lights in the grille.) (Back in the early '80s, folks on the homesteads were drivin' Mitsubishi Pajeros like that. The grille looks a lot like my old man's Mazda) Hyundai Galloper and Mitsubishi Pajero , rolling since 1982 and rocking that '80s design until '97. Mitsubishi Pajero, a beast of a car that I've always seen as a ghostly presence from the days of high cigar-fueled swagger in the '80s, with all those yuppies and whatnot. I remember a girl in elementary school, a few years older, whose mom cruised around in a Mitsubishi Pajero. She was a doctor in the local clinic, living the good life. They also had an '80s version of the Mercedes T, so no hardships there. Fast forward to the 2000s, on a trekking adventure with your folks all around Asker and Bærum. Obsessively cha...

Lada 2107: Lada Riva/Classic/Rally!

Bilde
(The Teachers Lada 2107) (This car was the last off the production line in 2012) Lada 2107 / Lada Riva, they sold plenty of 'em in Norway in the 80s and 90s, but nowadays they're a rare sight in the Norwegian car market. You can still get your hands on models all the way up to 2012 over in Russia, where folks were real fond of ’em, and down in Egypt too, where they kept crankin’ ’em out till 2015, thanks to the Alamal Group. These cars are prone to rust in the channels and usually don't last longer than 10 years. However, if you're a true car enthusiast who shows love for these models, you can enjoy one for many, many years. To stay in the know about these cars, it's recommended to join a Lada Club, for example there is one in Lier in Norway, which specializes in these models. Worth mentioning that Lada 2107 (Riva and Classic) were also popular as rally cars. There was this spry old retiree who was an orienteering runner in the club with my folks when I was little,...

Pivco City Bee, Think City, Buddy Electric and Kewet Buddy!

Well, shoot, these cars might've been the ones I oughta kicked off this blog with, considerin' we're talkin' about Norwegian rides and brands cooked up right here in Norway. First laid eyes on a Pivco City Bee back in '95 at Hunderfossen, but reckon the first time was on that Newton kids' show on NRK back in the early '90s. Our own Morten Harket, bless his heart, supposedly snagged himself one of them cars, maybe just to breeze through them toll booths for free? Either way, it turned into a solid PR stunt for them two Norwegian brands, Harket and Pivco City Bee. Pivco City Bee supposedly hit the scene in the early '90s. By '94, the first proper prototypes were supposedly ready, just in time for the Lillehammer Olympics. Come the late '90s, somewhere between '95 and '98, seems like a handful of 'em got sold here in Norway. Sadly, today, despite Norwegians bein' all crazy 'bout cars, there's only three left! Two teal ones, o...
