Hi, I had a few of those years ago in Poland. It was great fun to watch, reminded me of old times. Bit of advice: jack the car a couple of inches, then push something under the engine to support it then lower the car, disconnect the entire drive train from all linkages, etc. and push the car forward leaving the engine behind. It’s much easier this way. To pull out around 45min, to re-fit 75minutes. When filling oil, make sure the dipstick is pulled out to allow air venting this way.

As a Polish person hailing from the early 90's, I must say I witnessed several such occasions and every single time it was absolutely exhilarating. My favourite one was somewhere in the 2010's. Imagine crossroad in the downtown, someone goofed off and two vehicles end up in the same spot blocking everyone else in the middle of a junction. One was huge Renault TIR truck and second was Fiat 126p. Angry truck driver jumps off screaming that he can't and won't back so the little one better back off right this instant and then from this other little car gets of ABSOLUTE UNIT OF A MAN, literally 6 ft 8, 300 pound bearded, broad armed human being dwarfing anyone in the neighbourhood telling truck driver that he don't give a single crap about his errors in life and his truck altogether. I bear this memory with tear of joy in my eye to this very day.

That car took us to multiple trips to Italy, France, Germany and one time to Sweden to visit an uncle. Fun fact that car can carry over its own weight in construction material with 2 adults in it.

I like the “An car” inspiration from top gear, you’re learning to use words just like Jeremy Clarkson

I hope this is how you're planning on going about on your channel. This was very amusing to watch and I'd certainly love to watch more videos like this.

I'd pay for, like, a full 90 minute "unbunging the nugget" special

James is basically the ChrisFix of Adelaide. Dude can repair any car with common hand tools.

[@Wheagg]

James is the human equivalent of the janitor named Bob in portal 2 that they imagined when designing old aperture. He could "fix anything with a screwdriver and duct tape".

Extremely fine Italian engineering. The boys from Turin's outstanding work on nugget engineering persists throughout the ages and across the oceans.

Designed by Italians, built by Poles. What more would you want?

[@supra107]

@@mrkei5871 Have it built by Italians, their quality was better. And I say that as a Pole, and other Poles can confirm that our car quality was shite.

Fun fact: Fiat took the 600, it's smallest, simplest and cheapest model, than made it even smaller, simpler and cheaper. That's how they developed the nuova 500 in the 50's. Fiat 126 is a nuova 500 with a new body and interior.

Love to see the nugget drive

There is some serious beauty to the mechanical design of this car

[@nodak81]

I've always had a soft spot for super basic cars like this. There's just something satisfying about them.

James did his thing once again. You really should sell him in a box as the dream of the e36 wagon doesn't sound that reliable
