This darn cool and darn awesome beach buggy from Austin and Morris was rollin' off the lines from 1964 all the way to '93, sportin' that '60s design. 'Maybe you can't pimp this one out,' they say, but I reckon it's a blast driving it to the beach, on a picnic, or just as a golf cart at the cabin, of course.

An old buddy of my dad supposedly drove a white Opel Corsa, 'bout a 1982 model, all the way till early 2000. This fella was a real country original, always drivin' an old German vintage car. Before '82, he's supposed to have driven an old red Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. From 2000 onward, he's always had a bottle-green Opel Astra wagon, 'round a 2001 model. This fella lived in Stokke in Vestfold Norway, had a mix of Inner Grenland and Inner ...
