    my dad's first big highway drive was in one of these, back in the day when eastern european highways were made out of panels of concrete. there were five guys crammed in this beast, and the distance between the wheels was exactly the same as the length of the concrete panels. when recounting this tale, my dad always ends it with "upon arrival, our balls were thoroughly tenderized by the sweet marriage between soviet infrastructure and polish engineering"

    I'm from Poland, home of this beauty. I remember when I was around 16 and riding my 50 cc, two-stroke engine beast of the scooter. I saw one of this creates, driving around 40-45 km/h in my home town. I was doing around 50. My scooter could go only up to 70 km/h but still, I was going faster. I started to overtake.
    When a guy behind the wheel saw me in his window, he floored it.
    I thought to myself: Now you're starting to accelerate. When I'm overtaking you? No freaking way! So, I want for it. It was slowest race of my life. We both did out best. I could see it in his eyes.
    I was faster.

    "That doesn't sound good" is just how you can describe anything when it comes to a Maluch. But there's still something heartwarming when you randomly see one on the street and are left wondering what exactly is it running on - original parts? New parts? A jug of cooking oil and a piece of wood? Two hamsters? You'll never know.

    To give you guys an insight of what this car was to polish people back in the 70s and 80s, it was everything. Basically if you were able to get one (because it wasn't just money that could buy this little car - you needed permission, a special bonus for example from your workplace) you were the luckiest one in your neighbourhood. So, because it was the only car available, it would be a family car for most. I know many stories of people driving this car for their vacation, 5 people in the car with luggage on top of the roof. Many drove it from Poland to Bulgaria, Jugoslavia, Hungary (we're talking 1000+ km). What's funniest, the car was really unreliable, so people used to tell jokes and anecdotes about it. One goes: "I was driving through Hungary in my Fiat, and I saw another one with polish registrations on the side of the road, with a man repairing something in the engine. So I stopped and asked the guy what had happened and if he needed any help or spare parts. He answered: 'Oh don't worry it's nothing serious, just head gasket', I am nearly done " Probably the story is real, because polish drivers would always carry lots of spare parts and all the necessary tools, just to quickly repair the car if something happened.

    In Silesian University of Technology there is a mad lad of doctor (he teaches welding technology there) that decided around year 2000 to put in his Niki handmade, done by himself, TITANIUM valves, modify his pistons and cylinders to be as light, durable and accurately made as possible and tune it to perfection. That Niki was freakin' able to achieve 200 km/h XD He told us this story during classes about welding exotic materials. When he sold this car, the new owner had it in one piece only for a week. It had crashed on a tree, because this car had STOCK wheels and suspention, and after hitting conciderable amount of speed he did not like to take turns at all XD

      There are big hills everywhere, mate. Here in W.A. we have the Darling Escarpment, which provides us with Greenmount Hill and Red Hill, both of which have a major freight route up/down them, the Great Eastern Highway goes up Greenmount, and Toodyay Road goes up Red hill.
      Either road is an excellent way to check your ignition timing on a hot Summers day, by driving up them and listening carefully for pre-ignition (pinging).

    I love old engines. They rev limit themselves by floating valves and they prevent you from exceeding cylinder pressure and cooling limits by detonating. They'll do it all day long and might only start leaking when they're up to temperature, prompting you to always change the oil by topping off continually. Wonderful stuff.

      Here in Poland the hierarchy of speed was always there, but to expand on that, in 2023 a new law was made and now the semi-trucks are not allowed to overtake unless there is a great amount of speed between them. And since the semis are all capped to a similar speed now they just keep right and it sometimes looks like a road train. It greatly helps when going above 160 km/h in a car, because there is way less situations when you need to slam on the brakes to suddenly match 88-92 km/h the trucks are doing.

    my wife and her parents used to drive such a Fiat on holidays and kayaking. In the 80's they dismantled the rear seats and they fit inside - two adults, two folding kayaks, a tent and a teenage child.

    Really adds to the goofiness of it all 😂

    Not one, but two overtakes! What a Nugget! Truly it is "an car". I love these Niki videos, and anything else car related. Keep `em coming!

    It's "Maluch" on a modern left hand traffic highway, haha! Nice. These cars were the mainstay of Polish motorized traffic in 70s through 90s.

    Good to see that the most entertaining Adelaide youtuber's content is driving an absolute beast of a car out of the city. Kudos!
