wat is this car?

Post by **TheStig** » 26 Sep 2004, 16:31

While Driving in Rotterdam, I seen loads of ricers driving around with Civics and Golfs... with for instance only a huge front bumper and nothing further.. and a Golf IV with a HUGE hood... like one of the big ones in NFS... if I can I wil try to make in in NFS

but the best thing I seen was THIS, I was waiting for a traffic light and it was standing next to me and I rememberd I had a Digicam with me...

I know what it is.... do you...

BTW you can see it is in THe Netherlands.... RAIN and a Windmill

And hopefully you don't live around that area, or you live near me-_-'.

I was tempted to say Renault Clio... But then I noticed the mirrored letters on the side of it, which says Pontiac (and the badge in front seems to be Pontiac too). It could be a Pontiac Aztec, the head lights match (according to Auto Katalog). Seems to be roof chopped and lowered.

lol Stig, a riced vauxhall carleton, nice find

Post by **TheStig** » 26 Sep 2004, 20:57

cause if there is one thing riced... it is that car eh... and PSZETA was also right... in the rest of europe we call it... a OPEL Omega... from aroun 1990 orso...

@PSZETA, I was on my way to Rotterdam centre and it was near Deftsehaven if I'm not mistaken...

and no I don't live near Rotterdam... I live in Zwolle.

We have a different car called the Omega.

I take it to you these are just newer versions of the Omega?

Post by **TheStig** » 26 Sep 2004, 21:25

yep... they are... just as your astra was called astra for a long time now.. and here.... it first was called Kadett and later on... Astra

Last model Kadett

Fist model Astra:

same goes for the Corsa

if I'm not mistaken, it was called the Nova in the UK and here it is always called Corsa...

Interesting, didnt know that

PSZeTa · Post by **PSZeTa** » 26 Sep 2004, 22:52

Phew, Stig isn't near me.

Why are Opel and Vauxhall doing so difficult..-_-'

Post by **TheStig** » 26 Sep 2004, 22:55

cause the brits are stubern.... and want to keep it abit of a own Identity...

but in the end... it is all part of GM now...

Grez, I think you know... did Opel officially buy Vauxall cause in the early days the cars where difirent... and we did have vauxhalls here....
or was it the other way around?

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 26 Sep 2004, 23:47

I always thought Vauxhall/Opel was a Toyota/Lexus type affair.

Post by **TheStig** » 27 Sep 2004, 00:06

could well be.... I dunno... we had Vauxhall here long time ago... (when I was a little lad

) but now all cars that are called Opel here are called Vauxhall in the UK... with all the same names.... but I don't know who designs them... the brits or the Germans... I know the VX220 (opel speedster) is made and designed in the UK by Lotus

btw here is a piece of the pic of the Omega.

the decals on the side: in orig size.. cause the pic was 2288x1712

look at the brands...

and the "APR" spoiler....

Rofl

I think Lotus did have some involvment with the VX220, but not too much as it was released as a direct competitor to the Elise.

Just felt like posting this.

I'm watching a TV series called Dark Angel. Guess what the first car I see is? A Pontiac Aztek...

I know . . . that's why I didn't spoil it for you

and M_S and GT and Mike and maybe DrCivic will all know what it is.

It's a '97 FPV EL Falcon GT. Of course, I only know that because I was bored and looked it up. I originally thought it to be a Holden

You're only partly correct. FPV didn't exist in 1997

Hecubus · Post by **Hecubus** » 05 Apr 2005, 04:32

Although, I just noticed that it's the Windsor 5.0 V8 in that Falcon. I kinda wonder if the engine is named that because of a basic design, or because it was built at Ford's engine assembly plant here in Windsor (driven by it a couple times).

Just from earlier, that Yellow car(second picture) is a 911. Headlights, and the way the roof curves and the rear.
