This weekends car rental and [View all]
A couple of cars I got to see while attending a wedding.
Rental was a Opel Corsa. I think it has the bottom end trim and engine. Pretty smooth ride for a small car, just over geared for economy. Biggest issue was reflections made it hard to read the dash controls. And the small screen for radio controls was LCD and not readable unless you shaded the screen. All other controls seemed pretty standard and the front seats were good with plenty of room.
Next is the Toyota GT86. Made with Subaru boxer 2 L engine. I think the US got it as the Subaru BRT. This one is a pre 2015 version.
The star of the show was the Barkas B100. This jewel was providing tailgate duties before the wedding. East German build, 1979 for this one, made in Chemnitz. This has a One liter 3 cylinder 2 stroke. Engine between the front and second row of seats. Might do 60 mph. The round chrome disc in front is the gas filler cap. Don't hit anything head on. Rear door is one piece and swings to the side.
