Chinese Borgward & MG Icon ZS GTS & MG MG6

Bilde
        Borgward used ta be a German car company till the whole dang operation went belly-up back in the 1960s. Then, ’bout ten years ago, the Chinese came along an’ breathed life back into the brand — right around the same time they scooped up the British MG Motor name too. Whole thing happened after they cut themselves a deal with one’a the later descendants from the Borgward family line. Now them modern Chinese-built Borgwards an’ MGs? Shoot, they actually make fer some mighty slick rides ta customize, even if a bunch’a them are electric nowadays. Clean body lines, aggressive stance, futuristic lights — plenty’a potential fer somebody wantin’ a modern street machine with a lil’ old-school swagger mixed in. Far as Ah’m concerned, the MG6 is the coolest one’a the whole bunch specially if y’all wanna turn it into a proper boulevard cruiser fer tearin’ through town late at night with neon reflections glidin’ across the hood.           ...

Misc Audi A6 & A4!!

  The Audi S4 and Audi RS4 — along with them Audi S6 and Audi RS6 bruisers — were mighty popular with bank robbers back in the ’90s an’ early 2000s, the last real stretch when hittin’ banks was still part’a organized crime mythology over here. Norway’s last truly infamous big heist was prolly the NOKAS robbery back in 2004. Sweden had itself some absolutely feral robbery waves later on in the 2000s too, though nowadays that sorta thing mostly faded away. Now the RS4 an’ RS6? Lord have mercy, them things were straight-up wolves wearin’ station wagon clothes. Family cars on paper — pure highway demons underneath. They sat on the regular Audi A4 and Audi A6 platforms, but with enough turbocharged rage hidden inside ta embarrass half the supercars on the road. The S4 an’ S6 weren’t quite as insane, but still mean enough ta make respectable citizens grip the dashboard. Then ya had the legendary Audi RS2 Avant built off the ol’ Audi 80 , plus the iconic Audi Quattro — though hon...

Volvo pickups & Volvo EPA Tractors

  Volvo Duett EPA-tractors — now them things ain’t really street cars at all, more like a dang moped somebody stretched out onto four wheels with a toolbox welded on the back. If y’all ever heard folks call somethin’ “real epa,” that whole expression comes from back in the day when the Swedes started hackin’ up old Volvo Duetts into tiny lil’ pickup contraptions with them reflective warning triangles bolted onto the tailgate. Thing is, an EPA-tractor ain’t exactly a normal car neither. It’s basically a miniature pickup truck where ya can barely see a blessed thing except through the side mirrors, rattlin’ along like farm equipment escaped onto public roads. An’ somehow these contraptions are built fer kids young as fifteen years old, legally capped around 30 kilometers an hour — meanwhile Sweden’s got highways where grown folks are blastin’ along at 110 like fighter pilots late fer supper. Kinda beautiful in a completely absurd Scandinavian sorta way when ya stop an’ think ’bou...
