Well lads, saw this yoke in Canada, not sure if it qualifies as a classic, but either way if you could advise what it is let us know.

Nice one.
It's a classic ok.
1969 Pontiac GTO

Munich 2 weeks ago. Loads of classics around but didn't get a chance to take many photos.

/\ Ok, I've just realised that Lada Taiga is likely almost brand new!
Thought it was just an old Niva in really good nick.

Lada Taiga from €11k in Germany. Incredible stuff. Proper brand new 4WD for peanuts

Why are these not sold or manufactured for over here. Class looking machine.

Farmers in Ireland can easily afford €100k Landcruisers. Why would they want a €10k Lada?

Not many farmers buying passanger Landcruisers!
But the comnercial ones are the benchmark for someone looking to tow three and a half tons.
The real market segment for the Lada would be the Jimny and the Dacia market.

The question is, if I had 10k to spend, would I buy a new Lada or a s/h 'cruiser or a D-max?

Sligo town last week. I hadn't time for a proper look around.

Big Nasty

Nice. Doesn't look like an original colour?

They took ms paint out of windows 10, but luckily i had a tin of spraypaint in my backpack while he was stopped at the lights.

Why on earth did you bother to obscure the reg though?

GDPR?

How does that break GDPR?
If it is breaking GDPR regs, shouldnd the mods come along or boards in general have new guidelines posted to make us all GDPR compliant?

Absolutely no idea how that would break GDPR! Just put it there for a giggle!

unkel

Nothing to do with GDPR. Any reg that is visible on the public road is fair game for posting online!

Why would you insist on publishing it though? So that it can be looked up online or something?

I would have thought that it was a fair enough decision by the OP to block it out. I would do the same, as a sort of courtesy to the owners privacy.

It's a good pointer to the history of a car, which is of huge interest to classic enthusiasts.

But the car is driving on the public road. Far more people see the reg there than here on boards

If it was on private property, not visible from the public road, it would be a different matter.

In Bray earlier today - when did you last see one of these?

Having had an '81 Datsun Cherry in the family, I dread to think what that car is like underneath!

Nice to see a Triumph Stag, in its natural environment. :pac:

(not that I care, I'd have one in a heartbeat)

Do you know what, a simple cure for that engine's problem was a bigger radiator.

unkel

Wasn't the Stag very well engineered but just poorly put together? Think I saw that in a program a few years ago.
