When a guy behind the wheel saw me in his window, he floored it. I thought to myself: Now you're starting to accelerate. When I'm overtaking you? No freaking way! So, I want for it.

To give you guys an insight of what this car was to polish people back in the 70s and 80s, it was everything. Basically if you were able to get one (because it wasn't just money that could buy this little car - you needed permission, a special bonus for example from your workplace) you were the luckiest one in your neighbourhood. So, because it was the only car available, it would be a family car for most. I know many stories of people driving this car for their vacation, 5 people in the car with luggage on top of the roof. Many drove it from Poland to Bulgaria, Jugoslavia, Hungary (we're talking 1000+ km). What's funniest, the car was really unreliable, so people used to tell jokes and anecdotes about it. One goes: "I was driving through Hungary in my Fiat, and I saw another one with polish registrations on the side of the road, with a man repairing something in the engine. So I stopped and asked the guy what had happened and if he needed any help or spare parts. He answered: 'Oh don't worry it's nothing serious, just head gasket', I am nearly done " Probably the story is real, because polish drivers would always carry lots of spare parts and all the necessary tools, just to quickly repair the car if something happened.

8:03 math time: the original tires on a Renault Trafic are LT205/65R16's with an overall circumference of 2.113 m. If the tires are moving exactly 0.2 revolutions per frame at 60 fps then one can deduce the van was moving at 0.4226 meters per frame, or 25.356 meters per second, or 91.2816 km/h when Tony overtook it at a breakneck pace of 96 and falling

85 km/7 liters translate to 12 km/liters Mr Dank. That is pretty good for an engine that runs flat out the whole time

[@timpea777]

Or about 8.2L/100km. It’s more than a lot of modern cars use, and she’s not real quick… but that’s not really the point, is it?

[@TerribleAcid]

I pushed my 1.0 3 cyl VW Up flat out for something like 100kms and it showed avg consumption below 6L/100km.

Not one, but two overtakes! What a Nugget! Truly it is "an car". I love these Niki videos, and anything else car related. Keep `em coming!

[@cardsfanbj]

As an American, I felt about ready to shout "get out of the left lane!" before remembering you're living in British prison and drive on left, so your left lane is actually the slow lane after all.

[@Romif_SK]

Yes I thought the same. Then I realized they drive on the "wrong" side.

[@turnip5359]

The spiders are the prison guards

[@darek4488]

Isn't blocking left lane normal in USA?

[@jamiejam9976]

​@@darek4488yeah but everyone hates fast lane campers anyways

[@darek4488]

@@jamiejam9976 There is absolutely nothing being done to deal with the left lane lounging in USA. Even trucks do it. Here in Poland the hierarchy of speed was always there, but to expand on that, in 2023 a new law was made and now the semi-trucks are not allowed to overtake unless there is a great amount of speed between them. And since the semis are all capped to a similar speed now they just keep right and it sometimes looks like a road train. It greatly helps when going above 160 km/h in a car, because there is way less situations when you need to slam on the brakes to suddenly match 88-92 km/h the trucks are doing.

[@burak1382]

8:12 I love the face that the wheel speed exactly matches the camera shutter speed so the wheel send like it's not moving at all

[@kacywatson6314]

Tony drove! I’m amazed that you guys didn’t have to get out and push. Congratulations Tony you are a car!

[@Slaking_]

"It's not even economical" Can't say I'm surprised by that

[@yamilespanol4527]

that was the best part, i was like.... is that good? and it wasn't XD

[@jortand]

One of my friends had an old fiat that really struggled uphill on the highway. When we used it for trips everyone would cheer whenever we made it up any hill. It was beautiful.

[@jjlegend3922]

Put one of those tiny superchargers on it 😅. I think they’re built for jet skis but are great on 2 and 3 cylinder engines. She MIGHT do 90 with one of them bad boys

[@techno1561]

The turbo on its own could make it do that

[@HansBelphegor]

@@techno1561 yeah... now he has to wait for the turbo lag

[@jjlegend3922]

Turbo on a 2cyl tho?

[@kepakpl]

We in Poland have for this fiat accessory called kowalski turbine. It was supposed to get extra power but it was just a hoax.

[@karvast5726]

About to make those pistons become supersonic bois

[@SirSaizo]

I really like watching Wade and James just be bros together. Both of them giving a little cheer when Tony hits 100kph made me smile

[@mythicalgod]

This is the best fiat 126 content on youtube

[@GoddessOfMisfortune]

I have a 1979 datsun truck, and I gotta say, driving on the freeway for that long is insane, you're an absolute legend, dank.

[@tylern6420]

How well is it going

[@Frihman]

Tony is just using 0.1% of his power. He doesn't want to embarrass other cars. Truly an incredible act of graciousness.

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

This video made me nervous, lol. The amount of times my prior car broke down in places, including running out of gas on the interstate when the needle had one of its moments of getting stuck on full, are countless. So many times I would pray to just make it home, make it to work, make it to the store. And you guys are pushing this old baby to its limits for FUN. I was nervous for you, but at least you had a James to assist if anything did go wrong 😂

[@xmaclean]

This is so great. I've been following your OG DankPods channel when I was living in Canada. Moved to Adelaide 5 months ago and now I you driving this around a minute from my house when you took the Noarlunga exit. Can't believe we'd ever cross paths.

[@Lobo2265]

We really really need more tony, he’s proved that he’s well capable of going mach 5

[@seanet1310]

I still miss the gold old days when the old Southern express way was a 1 way freeway that flipped direction. That is such a South Australian thing Way to go Tony. Surely the next step is a trip accross to Melbourne?

[@Dom-ny9dt]

reminds me of my uncles 126p that he painted blue with a paint roller, man I love the 126p

[@CaptainDan21]

“WE’RE A CAR!!!” I’m so proud of Tony ❤️ 🚗

[@michelefarroni93]

That engine has so much potential. Here in italy there’re entire workshops specialized in tuning those, reaching 40,50hp. And if you don’t wanna die, better equip front disc brakes

[@skjertemgjerttem1901]

Lmao the van they overtook turned around and overtook them in the next shot

[@gorfhalo1]

That end bit where the fuel economy was calculated had me dying lmao!

[@supra107]

There is a video of a 1988 126p 650E being pushed on a Polish freeway to over 140km/h. Yes, it can do that. Somehow. :D

[@KimboKG14]

8:20 this made me have way too much feelings for some crappy car at the other side of the world. very happy that tony get's to see the world again in his old days.

[@afivey]

10:41 To keep the structural integrity of this vehicle intact as it travels at Mach 3, it is vital that all titanium panels have a loose fit. The waste heat and exterior friction result thermal expansion; the vehicle generally heats up rectifying all panels' fit to flush. This results in vehicles like the Tony Kowalski and SR 71 Blackbird leaking fuel when idle.

[@tomsheepskin]

my wife and her parents used to drive such a Fiat on holidays and kayaking. In the 80's they dismantled the rear seats and they fit inside - two adults, two folding kayaks, a tent and a teenage child.

James saying “not at flat-out!” is so beautiful I had to watch the whole thing twice in a row.

My dad had one of these when I was a kid, the madman swapped a palio engine into the little beast and it became a rocket, so much of a weapon that when he sold it, the new owner totaled it in a few months running it into a guardrail. Poor little fridge, had a good run

There is so much room in the back, you could fit another engine in there.
