Lada 1500/2106 - 2103 produced until year 2005!

(Modern Lada 2106 from 2005)


Lada 1500/2106-2103!

I was in my mama's belly in 1987, the same year a Lada 2103/2106 classic was featured in a James Bond film called "The Living Daylights," this car also supposedly got stolen from my parents by some youngsters in my old neighborhood who are still on the loose. The Lada was found smashed up a couple of kilometers away and down some steep slopes under a railroad underpass. Could it be that these car thieves were inspired by Lada's rallying efforts in Canada in the early 1980s? Or maybe it was the insane car chase sequence in James Bond's "The Living Daylights" that got 'em all motivated? Either way, they managed to fix up the Lada, and it lasted a good 5 years. These cars are tough as nails and can take a beating!

Lada 2106 and 2103 were also darn cool rally cars and were produced all the way up until 2005, how 'bout that! And since they were made until 2005, you can still get your hands on 'em today, but it'll have to be through private import. These cars are easy to pimp out with air fresheners, tinted windows, and badass wheels with chrome rims.

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...

Toyota Hiace MK5 and MK6

Y'see them Toyotas in them first two snaps? Well, they were the last of their breed to roll off the lots in the West. Production came to a screechin' halt 'cause of that Japan nuclear plant mishap. Them rides were a hit in places like Finland, the British Isles, Sweden, and Norway. And Norway was the final stop on the European tour before the curtain dropped on this model. "Now, them Toyota Hiace Mk5 and Mk6, well, they're just plain cool for gettin' sideways. You can whip 'em 'round with either four-wheel or rear-wheel drive. And if you're feelin' fancy, you can spruce 'em up with some '80s chrome tail fins, tinted windows, extra lights, and a dangly wünderbaum. The other Hiace you see there, well, it kept on truckin' till 'round 2018-2019, albeit abroad." This here's a camper version of the MK4, kickin' up dust overseas, lookin' mighty familiar like that ride I done mentioned in them earlier blog posts . Down b...

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...
