An MG with an FSO drivetrain? err no. An FSO with an MG drivetrain? Well that would be cooler (maybe a ZTT V8 in a Polonez?), but alas, no. Just a misleading title involving some not-so-clever wordplay about FSOs Gotta love 'em Right? Seen some of these before no doubt, but I thought it'd be nice to get them all in one place. Feel free to add, comment etc etc oops, sorry, that one's a bit new ^That might be a 125 actually, but I don't know or care, it's awesome and for my purposes here, today, it's an FSO. I'll finish the first post with this Syrena:

I want a Polonez so badly! So is an FSO Polonez basically a Polski Fiat 131? Like the Fiat 126 is to the 126 BIS?

Top grammar tips! Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

"Is that FSO design studio? We are Sue, Grabbit & Run soliciters representing Lotus cars in the UK and we're just like to know what the Poloish word for copyright infringement is? Whilst you're still there how about a translation for baseball bat and kneecaps? Lovely to speak to you today, and give our regards to your families"

^ haha yeah, now that you mention it! I want a Polonez so badly! So is an FSO Polonez basically a Polski Fiat 131? Like the Fiat 126 is to the 126 BIS? Right then, I did a little research on this and it seems that (for a change) I was right about it being based on the 125p! Who knew? Well i did I suppose Anyway, since I'm here I may as well post some more WIN - more specifically, orange flatbed win. OOOOF

Well i did I suppose ` Thanks for the confirmation on the lineage Emdee! Cool as those other models are I think it's the VR6 'Pez that's tripping my trigger. They look like a child-proof Fiat 131 Marafiori.

Those Syrenkas are so cute! TBH at first I thought they were a little erm downsy (can I even say that?), but the more I look at them the more I'm drawn to them. They look fantastic with a few coils out. Sadly the first one is a photoshop MS Paint There's also the Syrena 110, which is sort of like a Renault 6 that's been having it off with a Renner 5 and it's like a cross between the two but slightly inbred.

So I have now found an FSO I knew nothing about. Never heard of it, never seen one. Ladies and Gentlemen I give you... The FSO Ogar Awww gyeaah I have nothing rude to say about this. This is perfection. Looks like they came in any colour as long as it was orange. Winner.
