"Various Rolls Royce and Bentley, Ferrari Testarossa and Ferrari 348, y'all!"

(Ferrari Testarossa)

The Ferrari Testarossahad a design that stayed true to the 1980s style all the way until 1996. When I was little, I often found the Ferrari Testarossa quite boring and ugly. This was due to its bird-like V-shaped side air intakes and striped, angular lines, which made the overall impression of the car quite dull to me. Plus, it was designed in the 1980s and had a somewhat outdated design compared to my childhood dream cars, the Ferrari 355 and Ferrari F50 from the 1990s. However, I have since realized that the Ferrari F50 wasn't as cool as I thought, and now I believe the Ferrari Testarossa is even cooler.

Well, one time I reckon I saw a dang Ferrari Testarossa tearin' it up as it blasted past ol' Asker town, hightailin' it up them Drengsrud slopes. That thing was pushin' the car ahead of it real hard, practically makin' it switch lanes just so it could zoom on by. Another time, down by Darbu, a fiery-eyed Italian fella came screamin' past us in an Alfa Romeo with them fancy Italian plates and a Ferrari engine shoehorned in there – talk about a showdown! Right there in Darbu, there was even a Rolls Royce that kept its pedal to the metal, cruisin' on up ahead of us toward Hokksund, causin' a bit of a snarl-up in the process.

A few years later, in the late 2000s, I met someone from Drammen who apparently knew someone else in Drammen who dealt with several Ferraris. Here's a link to an article about an ordinary guy from the humble West Norway who fulfilled his dream and has owned several used Ferraris since 2004.

You can drive the Ferrari Testarossa and Ferrari 348 aggressively at speeds of 100 to 110 mph on the E18 Southern Motorway in Norway or maybe even at 80 mph on narrow, twisty West Norway roads, which might be both safer and more legal in Norway. And you don't need to style them because they're already stylish.

Drive a pink Testarossa, and you'll be the king of the car scene among the pride community!

(Rolls Royce Silver Spur/Silver Spirit 1980-2000, Bentley Brookland, Bentley Mulsanne 1980-2000) These cars were featured in a movie starring Dolph Lundgren in the 1990s and have probably appeared in several Miami Vice films. Speaking of Miami Vice, it's said that a very known Norwegian fashion designer Jan Thomas was once in this TV series when he was a street racer in Skien a long time ago. So, pimp out the Bentley Brookland/Mulsanne or Rolls Royce Silver/Spur Silver Spirit with genuine pink paint like in the picture and cruise around Skien town center or any other random rural place, and you'll be the hero among the street racers in the community. Or even cooler, drive a vintage Bentley Continental from 1991 to 2002. Then you can even play mafia in the community since the Bentley Continental is both sporty and has a mafia look, plus genuine British aristocracy. You can surely pimp it with 80s chrome air fresheners, tinted windows, and go wild on dusty gravel roads while hunting or fishing in the wilderness. And remember, all these cars have a design that dates back to the 1980s, lasting until around 2002 for the latter model. When it comes to the question, both Ferrari, Bentley, and Rolls Royce are true luxury and super sports cars that you really shouldn't mess with. But when they're somewhere between 25-35 years old, it's acceptable. Especially since it must be a shame for these cars to be at this age when they're worth the least. Of course, my God, a Ferrari, Bentley, or Rolls Royce must experience being a street racer at least once in

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...
