Street Ka looks like one of Stuboy's efforts.

As far as I remember it's a special edition for that Thunderbirds film as Ford made the Fab1 for it.
Think Kylie What's her face has something to do with it too.

I've seen a few pink ones about, so I'm sure it was sold like that.

I occasionally peruse Google-earth to re-visit some of the far-flung never to return to places just to see whether the factory is still there, or how the general area has developed or continue on in mediaeval times. Tonight was the turn of Ust-Labinsk. I see BorniteIdentity visits there nowadays.

A couple of RusAgro places - amazing old 19th century architecture - surrounded by the most Soviet style grimboxes you can imagine. Basically it's Wisbech with Disco Bar Wank (2nd pic)

Imagine being asked to go to Tokmak in Kyrgystan only to find out upon arrival after a 2 day drive from a similarly depressing place in NW China that the factory had been demolished several years beforehand. The message of "can you fix our factory" was actually mis-translated from "can you build a new one with a pile of broken bricks, a heap of mangled rusty metal and several old Soviet Buses. You can sit in my Audi 100 if you do"

These are not spots are they? I think I may start a thread for this one day. Sure, it won't be a Wallop, but there are some lovely old wrecks. One of the reasons I used to love travelling to such places.

Not sure if these are side lights or them always on things.

Whoever fitted them needs their fingers breaking & then be forced to remove them before their fingers heal.
