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...

Volkswagen Bugs!

In the picture above, you can see the Mexican version of the old Volkswagen Beetle , which is the last version from 2003. If you’re lookin’ to buy one of these, you’ll probably have to import it from Central America. Since the car ain’t more than 20 years old, it can keep cruisin’ as a hot rod for at least another 10 years. Now, check out them two random Volkswagen bugs in them pictures. They ain't as rare as the Brazilian version, but in return, you get the vibe of how awesome these rides can be, especially with some fine ladies on board. Picture yourself cruising down Miami Beach in Florida with a surfboard on the roof, or maybe along the Jærkysten in Norway on a beautiful summer day if you're lucky (because, let me tell ya, there's plenty of lousy weather on the Jærkysten!). Back in the '90s, every now and then, a female student would swing by the neighbor's place next to my old childhood home, and she had a bug just like that. That's the kind of thing you do...

Ford Transit mk3, 1986-1995/1996-2000

Ford Transit MK3/Mk4 , now there's a vehicle that deserves to be driven by more than just German camper tourists and British van drivers; I reckon it could make a pretty cool ride for the car scene. The Ford Transit has been a staple for Bærum Kommune for years, and it still sees action to this day. I distinctly remember my mom being chauffeured home in a Ford Transit (late '80s model) when I was about 2.5 years old. She had been in the hospital for quite some time due to back surgery. Whether it was the relief of having my mom back or my budding interest in cars, I still vividly remember that Transit to this day. Now, the Ford Transit might not have been the go-to choice for car enthusiasts, but among the world's bandits in the '70s and '80s, it sure had its fan base. I reckon that's because back then, it was one of the fastest box vans around, until smaller cars like the Audi RS4/RS6 and digital currencies took over the scene.
