NYC Vehicles

okay, NYC vehicles.





First up, we have this off-the-hizzle beater RV. Who needs an expensive manhattan apartment when you can chill in whatever borough you feel like with all the early 80's style anyone could hope for. Diggety.



What's more, as it gol-darn should be, there are a blessed number of motorized two wheeled vehicles, including lots of scooters and crazy mad max ratbike motorcycles.








I have included a wee montage of this ducati monster which typified this breed of badass moto, just oozing mystique and urban savoir-faire. Notice the M-16 sticker, the gothic lettered moto gang sticker (is that "satan's boobies" or "satan's doobies"? Either way, rock on) and the velcro-attachment for the liscense plate, which can then easily be removed and taken away by this particular superhero, so that he/she can't get parking tickets. Brill.








As one would expect, there are some strange foriegn hoopdies scattered about, including old microbusses, yugos, and this citroen I came accross. Style points for the rust pattern, the new york over french plate configuration, and of course the fabulous uni-spoke design of the steering wheel.

Hey - the first car I ever owned was one of these Citroens - same colour too (apart from the rust patches). Another confusing aspect was the handbrake that came out of the dashboard. For years afterwards, every car I drove I would end up puching the radio when ever I wnated to put the handbrake on.

Cheers,
Kim
