[@budgiefriend]

Thank you.

[@IWrocker]

Excellent information thank You 🎉

[@jmi5969]

@@IWrocker This 49 Suzuki was sold in the US as Geo Metro. I recall in the early 1990s GM tried hard to push it on TV, and it didn't quite work out. The price, IIRC, was one or two grand above the bottom level set by Chevy Cavalier and Mexican VWs, so it didn't sell much. But it was certainly present on the road then and it felt just like another American small car.

[@MikkeySixx]

The Zastava was a local car maker (when Slovenia was part of a bigger country - Yugoslavia) that produced small Fiat models that they acquired the license on. These were not carbon copies form fiat, they kept changing some things. Later on they made their own model, Yugo, and this one you obviously know :)

[@jernejulcar8325]

My late uncle brought home a fiat 126 (bolha) for me, when i was 7 years old and i drove that car on a big field that was behind our house. It was orange and it had a giant redbull sticker all over the front hood. I had it for about 2 years. And when i was about 13 he bought me a Renault 4 gtl. He then later converted it into an lift mechanism, so he could lift building materials into the 3 floor, when he was building his apartment 🙂

It was also built under license by Seat from Spain and Steyr from Austria, but each brand with slight differences.

[@WhatDayIsItTrumpDay]

​@Stuntmannetje I KNEW it! I saw that, and I said, "Looks like a Geo Metro to me." Biggest POS car to ever come out of the early 90s market. When i got my first car at age 16, it was an '89 Ford Mustang LX 4 cyl. 2.3L. (Foxbody) Only made about 92 hp. Terribly underpowered. It was all it could do to hit 80 mph. Only registered 85 mph on the Speedometer. And it was a mechanical nightmare. The whole car. Every little thing that could go wrong did, from power window/lock switches all the way up to power train parts. I had the car for 5½ years and I bet it was in the shop for about a year total. My current vehicle is a 2016 F150 w/ 3.5 L Ecoboost (twin turbo) that makes 365 hp and 420 lb ft of Torque. Unfortunately I haven't been able to drive it for about 3 years due to health reasons and it's only got 14K miles on it. In order for me to be able to get back in tbe thing reliably, I'm gonna have to install lowering airbag ride suspension on it at who knows what price.

[@petrlorenc7230]

Man....we drove our 1980 Lancia to Slovenia this year, it was by all means worth it. Great place indeed.

[@fifi23o5]

Zastava 750, later version was 850, was a licence produced Fiat 600. It was my first car. Whopping 27 HP! It was excellent in snow. A friend of mine had a first generation ofBMW 3-something, he was bragging about and I told him we have the same average speed over the whole year, beemers sucked in snow. Later when I had a Subaru Legacy I made a sticker ''BMW Tow Service'', in one winter I towed three BMWs out of ditches...

My Civic Tourer here in Switzerland is also from Swindon, made in 2014. I think they closed the factory a couple of years ago.

[@osterreichischerflochlandl4940]

Regarding the engine hood opening direction: The "reverse" way is "safe" if the lock should not close properly - the hood can then not errratically block the driver's view when it should flip up and also the additional drag would be quite dangerous. Also, it allows a 90° opening angle for better access instead of just 45 or so.

[@HalNordmann]

But on the other hand, it complicates access - you have to lean over the bumpers to reach the engine. Always a tradeoff

[@darkiee69]

If you want to see some bigger meets in Sweden there's three big ones: Vallåkraträffen, started out as a volvo meet in the 80's, but today it's all cars, but mostly European.

[@Flamebeard0815]

9:35 those seem to be Ford Escort RS Cosworth Mk.5, or at least well made lookalikes. Fun tidbit: The undercarriage is actually a modifies Ford Sierra Cosworth. Ford did that to be able to keep the bigger engine and gearbox without having to implement it in the Escort production line. Also, they differ in the production cycle. The first 2500 units had a beastly Garrett charger on it (to have that for the WRC models). After that, Ford tried to tame it down a little.

Hello, sir. You definitely need to watch Wörthersee Treffen Meetings in Austria. It started with VW Golf GTi first generation, but it was built in something really beautiful. Basically the biggest freestyle car meet around the whole Wörthersee lake. It's a shame they banned it, because it was not an official car meet, so there were troubles with law, car accidents sometimes and a lot of noise and traffic, so they banned it. But it was an awesome place to visit. Nature, beautiful hills, lakes, summer sun and extraordinarily perfected cars. Just awesome. Hello from Czech Republic, sir!

[@bits2646]

Yeah, that wasn't ever a car meet, it's actually like group of friends with everyone inviting own group of friends for a nice day... Wasn't even a proper meet, just a small gathering in a small place, also very local, mostly from the small towns around that region, towns with mostly like 1500 - 2000 ppl and few with sth around 10k ppl... I know we're a tiny country, but that's small even by our standards :) It's like something we used to call "small FB group meeting" :) But it's nice anyway, mostly same minded people with a lot of knowledge and interesting stories, but limited resources... Ppl like my neighbour with multiple lambos and porsches, and the other that's in first house to my right with 2 ferraris between everythign else, don't come to those meetings for a reason like that last dude went on car meeting with S8 and FF and came home with LFA and LC500h :DD It's a different game

[@MrLacomaco]

Its really cool to see that someone from US is able to have a look behind the big puddle and be excited of what is doing behind it. I can tell you just one thing. meet like this one is all over EU and belive me, places like this we have houndreds. But on the other side. Many of us are still confused. How the hell where you able to design engines with 6 or 7 liters and have only 170-200 hp... Why? BTW. if you really want Lancia delta integrale evo....., the right one. its about 300k US dollars.

As a slovenian i can tell you that the two zastavas at 10:39 are known here as "Fičo". Everyone had Fičos in Yugoslavia (Slovenia was a part of Yugoslavia). I remember my grandfather's and my grandmother passed her driving licence in one. The Fičo was based on the Fiat 500.

The biggest car meet outside the USA was the Power Big Meet in Västerås in Sweden. It was so big that even Americans brought their cars to Sweden. Each year around 11,000 cars and over 100,000 visitors came. This car meeting was mainly for American cars from the 1930s until the 2000s. There were original cars, Hot Rods, Street Rods, Low Riders, Custom. Muscle cars, Street Race cars. There were cars from Finland, Norway, Denmark, England, France, Switzerland, USA, Italy; Spain, Poland, Bulgaria, and many more countries as well as visitors from all over the world. What separates Swedish car meets from car meets in other countries is that, in addition to Sweden having larger meets, there are also meets for the whole family, you have activities for children too, you have sales of car parts, food, sales of clothes from 30- century up to the 50s, collects things that are from the 30s and up to the 50s. Everything connected to America's 50s. Today this car meeting is not as big, as the car magazine Power Magazine chose to move the meeting. Despite this, there are such car meetings every summer in Sweden, from Haparanda in northern Sweden to Malmö in southern Sweden.

[@ForaNakit]

That green SUV at 2:28 was Lada Niva from today's Russia. It was known as an indestructible car easy to fix, and could go anywhere, but we used to joke that you need one more gas tank because of how much fuel it spends.

[@michiamonessuno7016]

The Zastava 850 was the final development of a licence made FIAT 600, first was Zastava 600, then 750 and, at last, 850, same as SEAT 600, a licence made FIAT 600 in Spain. At the time in Jugoslavia some people used to change its engine with a bigger one, I believe around 1000cc, that was too big to stay in the bay, maybe the second Zastava 850, the red one, could be one of them, as it has the engine hatch slightly opened. I remember those cars in my town, Trieste in Italy, that was the "market" for the Jugoslavians, between the '70s and the '80s, they used to cross the border, buy a lot of stuff hard to find at "the other side", like blue jeans and good coffee, and come back to trade the goods through the iron curtain.

A little car weighing 2000lbs with a tuned 2 litre engine, 150bhp, 129ftlb at lower revs, a 0 to 60 time of 7.5 seconds and topping out at 134mph. The bulge is off set as it's a transverse, front wheel drive layout. I think the Honda at 8:00 is an Accord Type R. They were less common than the Civic Type R but they were just as quick.

But if you want to look for a Clio that was an authentic beast in rally search for Renault Clio 3.0 V6 - 24Valves , a 2 seats Mid-engine RWD that weight 1335 kg / 2943 lbs.

That white car at the start, like everyone else has said Suzuki Swift, Canada had it as Pontiac Firefly or Chevy Firefly , as i had a Suzuki Swift in the 90s. and when i visited Canada in 1998 i saw them re named . Holden also sold them in Australia against Suzuki but called it the Holden Barina .

Car modifications are in most of European countries severely restricted or illegal, that's why European car meets are mostly about standard cars or slightly modified cars and you will almost never see there any brutally tuned cars like on car meets in the US

In Belgium it is very difficult or even forbidden to put a non-original piece or a +/- identical copy. Exemple, changing wheels larger than original is prohibited.

[@christophermoffatt5144]

White car at 2:19 looks to me like an old suzuki swift, i think in the US they were sold as the GEO Metro

[@toomasargel8503]

02:29 next green one VAZ 2121 or in west was named Lada Niva 4x4 1,6 petrol enigne and spear tire is fron under hood. V max 145 km/h ( 90 mph) clearnce 22cm / 8 inches

Zastava 850 is a Yugoslavian copy of FIAT 600. Slovenia was once a Yugoslavian country

[@joanfrancescromero2206]

At minute 0:50 you can see a blue Seat Leon mk3, spanish brand owned by Audi-VW group (between the red Suzuki Swift and a white VW Golf). Probably is the Cupra version 2.0TSI with 290HP, I owned a years ago one special unit of the Station Wagon version called “Black carbon edition” with 300HP, 4WD, brembo brake system…a kind of missile 🤣🤣

[@jakovm1070]

Zastava 850 was Yugoslavian peoples car. French had 2cv, Germans had beetle, British had mini and we had zastava 850, known as fićo.

[@ShadowMcSneaky]

4:05 suzuki - swift (1995-2003) or subaru - justy (a model based on the suzuki but 4x4, made in cooperation with "Magyar Suzuki")

[@Jutubowiec1]

7:50 Honda Accord VI TypeR ver. EU. I got one of these.

[@HansEgonMattek]

You should react to the Lada Niva definitely a car you will like. Raw offroad vehicle, no comfort and safety

[@nemc43]

Hello, Clio 16V here. Love the video and I am pleased you like the car :D Also the hood scoop is offset, to direct the airflow to cool down the exhaust manifold.

[@robertgoodwin4745]

You need to check out the "Bromley Peagent " a huge car meet in London.

[@melchiorvonsternberg844]

As someone before me mentioned, it was not uncommon in Europe in the 60s, 70s and 80s for the hood to open towards the front. This was absolutely normal with my old BMWs and also with most Renaults, for example. Not so much with VW and Ford. Not with GM's prey Opel either, but definitely with some older Mercedes Benz. Opening to the front almost only had advantages. In the event of a malfunction, the flap cannot open in the direction of travel and you can work much better in the engine compartment. Take a look at pictures of the engine compartment of a BMW E30 (2nd edition of the 3 series) and, in comparison, look at an Audi 80 GTE 1984 (comparable engine performance and equipment segment of the mid-range car). And there is one more thing to consider... With the flap forward, significantly more light falls into the engine compartment, which in turn makes working easier...

The Lancia Delta integrale is not an Evo. The Evo was a later model, with 16v engine, 4 same-size front lamps, bigger arches, sportier Recaro seats with an integrated headrest and 2 extra air intakes on the bonnet (among other stuff). The red one on the film is probably a 8v integrale ( I used to own a yellow 8v integrale), though it is sporting Evo rims.

[@ConnorMckelvie1990]

Hey bud glad ur liking the European car scene! Also love how ur passion for the rally. Also that Red Type R is called a Honda alAccord Type R

[@ConnorMckelvie1990]

Accord**

[@jp3933]

That green 4*4 in the beginin was a Russian Lada Niva or VAZ Niva depends where they was sold And the white rallycar with nr 49 I think it is A Suzuki Swift

[@nikolajdehaan9815]

Layout of a fwd front engine car willbe asymmetrical as the gearbox is on oneside, the engine on the other. So a hood scoop will be as well in most cases (if it really is functional). It is a bit diff from those centrally mounted engines. And you may be surprised, but Europe aint like the US, I am Dutch and Slovenia is just as foreign to me 😂. Good idea for my next roadtrip maybe. Anywho, great vids man!

[@galateashell5123]

Thanks for your video. 🙂

[@petrihakkinen2336]

Those fiat 600 have made at least 4 diffirent name. Zastava, seat, neckar

[@GoalSquad666]

@IWrocker The reason you don't recognise the Honda Accord (6th gen) body is, they used a different body for the Honda Accords in the US. It was actually the Honda Inspire what got rebadged as Accord for US, Australia and NZ market. The European and the JDM version were basically identical. The same was with the 5th gen, the US got the body shape of the Rover 600 were here in Europe we got again the JDM version.

[@IWrocker]

Fascinating info, thanks 🎉

[@bert2526]

If the hood opens from windshield to bumper, it will not flip over your head if the lock accidentally fails while driving.

[@matekomives3018]

White one was a suzuki swift but also sold In the US as a geo metro
