#Datsun1200

@vfrmedia yes, it is!
#Facebook deliberately microtargets users.

Also car groups are notoriously connected around the globe, as trends from different markets swap around, and so parts commerce does as well.

@fuchsiii got her replacement door locks for her #Datsun1200 and starter from Thailand and Australia respectably given local #aftermarket & parts shops cater to these and that #Nissan not only never sold the [longbed] pickup version north of the Alps but dealerships in #Germany flatout refused to even reply a request for support or parts.

@tikibunnyimports Yeah, @fuchsiii faced similar issues with her #Datsun1200 minitruck because that never got sold in #Germany so there never was a Type Number (TSN) issued for it, making it basically impossible to just get an #insurance booked with a few clicks like with my #CorsaD 3-door...

  • She managed to get it insured as a "truck" because it only has 2 seats and a a long bed, so ">50% vehicle capacity is dedicaded to cargo"...

Still, it did took quite some time for the #DMV to punch it into their system, since it's got no pollution classification, no HSN/TSN combo to drop-down, the vehicle hat greek papers and a non-standard #VIN (they literally took the VIN from the plaque inside the frame that #TechInspection wrote down!)...

  • Sadly the #TechInspectors didn't buy the fact that the 13" spiky rims were an original premium option so no historic license plate - yet.

Now granted, a 1985 Tatsun 1200 LGBY does have unfiltered driving as in:

  • Manual choke
  • No catalytic converter
  • naturally aspirated with carburator
  • no ABS, ESP, Airbag, eCall
  • No navigation, radio, phone mount, bluetooth,
  • no climate controls (except a fan & heater ans well as windows)

The most it has are electric wipers with a literal bag of fluid, indicators and lights.

Obviously, we're dealing here with real #ExoticCars in the truest of forms, because it's less of a hassle to get a Bugatti or Koenigsegg registered: They already come with COC papers and stuff from the factory and propably even have a toll-free hotline for DMV employees to authenticate the papers and check that the car ain't stolen. (Cuz stuff like that did and does happen with many vehicles!)...

@tilton precisely that!

*Points at a proper pickup truck like @fuchsiii 's #Datsun1200 - LGBY

@tikibunnyimports awwww... <3

This thing is so cute - very friend shaped.

Almost as if a #Datsun1200 LGBY and a #Jeep CJ-4 had a child...

@tk precisely!

Even if you don't take a #Datsun1200, even a #Corsa-C has way less bs under the hood...

I just sadly didn't get the version with #DIN-Slots but just the crappy CD+FM combo, but at least A/C!

@treibholz @isotopp Kann das bestätigen.

Hab' mal nen #Datsun1200 - Pickup überführt, und da wirste bei Vollgas (90km/h) von Brummis behupt!

Zumindes über Tempolimit der EU-Nachbarn (150km/h) muss es fahren können...

@blnZeh @joerg_spengler nicht nur das...

Generell ist die #Verfettung von #Autos ein langfristiger Trend.

Ein ein 1986'er #Datsun1200 passt geradeso in eine #Garage die 1953 gebaut wurde. Mein 2007er #Corsa D 3-Türer garnicht, und das ist schon eines der kleinsten und schmalsten "Autos" im Sinne der EG-Fahrzeugklasse M1.

#WasFehlt ist nicht nur #Autokorrektur und #OneLessCar sondern klare incentives gegen die #Enshittification mit #SuperUselessVehicles!

This one's cute...

Almost as cute as @fuchsiii 's #Datsun1200...

@fuchsiii @benbloodworth If they can nail the D21 to be literally as #smol and #cute as your #Datsun1200 that would be awesome...

If not do these all as #KeiCars!

@talizorah yeah... Kinda like the stuff with @fuchsiii 's #Datsun1200 pickup:

Most #aftermarket stuff is expensive #racing and #bling parts from #Australia and #Japan where Germ Tech Inspection says "NOPE!"...

@metronaut das Problem ist dass die #Verfettung des #Autos leider auch diejenigen Modelle erfasst die am kleinsten sind.

Als Beispiel:
Ein 1978er #Datsun1200-Pickup passt geradeso in eine #Garage die 1953 gebaut wurde.

Ein 2007er Opel Corsa D dagegen schon nicht mehr...

Und beide sind vergleichsweise schmal und kurz...

@threetails @douglasvb @GreenFire @notjustbikes Just like with the #Humvee the #MercedesG-class is just a pitch to sell "Mil Spec" to assholes with more money than sense...

The only versions of those I'd ever drive are the milsurp'd ones and even those would be a #0thWorldProblem "#OffroadToy" that I can't even park in my neighbourhood because even my 2007 Corsa D won't fit in a Garage built in 1953 and the #Datsun1200 from the late 70s that @fuchsiii owns barely does.

@littlealex Ja, ich wünschte ich hätte ne Halle oder so...

In meiner Gegend sind die Garagen für Autos von 1953, und schon der #Datsun1200 von @fuchsiii passt da nur knapp rein...

@abhotten Wenn @fuchsiii ihren #Datsun1200 mal richtig noice gemacht hat, muss die damit auch mal in die #Immermannstraße fahren...

Am besten dann heimlich die Reaktionen der Leute filmen die gucken und dann "Kore wa?" sagen...

@bhtooefr @TechConnectify @notjustbikes so you get stuff like the #Datsun1200 that is extremely thinn and smol.
