The Most Interesting Cars I Saw In England And Ireland

It's the Fourth of July, and you know what that means! It's time to celebrate America. Well, okay, I hear you. You're not so much in the celebrating spirit. But that's why I've written this post.

I was lucky enough to take a week and a half long trip to England and Ireland recently, and much to my girlfriend's chagrin, I took a lot of photos of the cars I saw. We've got a little bit of everything here. There are European, weird alternate versions of cars we get here state-side, and even a few American cars!

Of course, we've also got the greatest car of all time: the Dacia Sandero. In fact, it was my rental car in Ireland. Anyway, sit back, relax and check out the coolest cars I saw in England and Ireland.

I wish we had more old Defenders in the U.S. I know they're terrible. I know there's no reason to want one. Yet, here I am, wanting one.

Look at this wild thing. I love it.

Who the hell bought this? What's the matter with you?

LOOOOOOOOOOOONG boi.

Doug approves of the A-Class. Do with that information whatever you want.

The Peugeot RCZ is such a beautifully French piece of design. God dammit I wish we got French cars in the U.S. We deserve them. I mean, just look at this car. It's beautiful.

... and SEWWWWWW FANCY.

What sort of person would be driving around a second-generation Cadillac Escalade through the streets of London in the year of our Lord 2023? I want to meet them, because they are my hero.

I love the whole vibe of this car. Street parked in a bus lane. Steering club. No notes whatsoever.

This is the Accord we should have had in the U.S. Well, I guess we got it as the TSX, but that's not really the same, is it?

Blue Parsh.

God bless New Jersey. I'll never leave you, and I'd never want you to leave me. Please disregard that I live in New York City.

What the goddamn hell are these exhaust tips. Who thought this was good? Stop it, Ireland.

Look at this thing. It couldn't be more British if it wore tweed and talked favorably about the monarchy.

I will never forgive Honda for not selling this Civic in America. It's over a decade old, and it looks like it could go on sale as a modern car right now. It's such a perfect piece of design.

More cars need '90s style front air dams. Look how cool this guy is. Absolutely mint.

James May made me love the Panda, and I was so excited to actually see one.

I just think this little Peugeot is so cool looking. I wish it was sold in America based on looks alone. Is it any good? I've got no clue, but I also do not care.

I fell in love with the Sandero during my five days with it. It was such an honest little car. Add to the fact it had 90 horsepower, a six-speed manual, and was brown, it was such a winning combination.

New Jersey or nowhere, baby!
