Time for our daily OPPO field trip to a random spot around the world to do what we always do, look at cars.

For those that are new to this, click !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for reference.

Last time, we took the rear engined, 4 rotary diesel, carbon fiber brown OPPO bus across the pond several times in a special episode titled, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Not going to lie.... I thing the US took the victory. Too many boring- ass hatchbacks in Europe masked the random bits of glory. Or not...... the things that were spotted were pret ty damn rad. IDK, lets call it a draw for now.

Today, we are visiting !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , Cambodia. This may be the first time visiting Cambodia. What a rad place!

My chose for raddest car in this city full 1-4 people riding on motorcycles, some HERO is rocking a giant 90's Suburban!!!

Good luck everyone!

it’s actually a 4-wheeled thing, you just can’t see the 4th wheel at that angle:

Oh snap, you’re right. It’s like a goose neck motorcycle trailer.

T hat is really cool - love the ‘burban pic. Those huge, completely uncontrolled intersections just amaze me, but they seem to make the chaos work most of the time. One of our business partners at work is going to Vietnam and Cambodia for a couple weeks in January - he’s super excited, (one of his “ bucket list” things.)

is it just me, or is that the “super rare” 2wd TRD Offroad Tacoma?

I wonder what’s under that cover? It appears to have a very low, and pointy front end...

That’s the Cambodian equivalent of a Tuk tuk - a passenger trailer towed behind a motorcycle . They are awesome. When I was there a few years ago, that was the majority of the transportation - motorcycles, mopeds, tuk tuks, or if you were really rich/corrupt, you would have a Toyota Camry.  The motorcycles were generally limited to 125 cc or less.  Not exactly speedy, but when traffic is an insane as it is there, 125 cc is plenty.

EL_ULY! This is a tricky one. Huge city, and while there’s a bunch of stuff we don’t get, not a lot of it seems very interesting. Japanese CUV/SUVs seem king. In any event, let’s see what we find that’s cool or at least stands out.

Bad taste is everywhere:

It is too a Real Truck­™! See it’s out doing Real Truck™ things:

https://goo.gl/maps/RPdReBDwiDA2

I don’t know what this one is. It’s bigger than most of the vans I’m seeing, and yet obviously not big enough:

https://goo.gl/maps/TYW1kguLuxR2

Forbidden Chevy Wagon, plus a hangout for the local Germans:

https://goo.gl/maps/JhZXqDfX4tj

Previa!

These trucks looks a bit rough for the city, but they’ve got a bunch of identical two-wheeled friends.

https://goo.gl/maps/4Z2ZQ9HQ9Qz

I’ve seen a bunch of Lexuses with these decals, which are apparently a thing :

Hey look, I found something that actually qualifies as cool!:

Your van site also managed to reflect the Street View car reasonably well (I’m sure we could find better, but I didn’t see it reflected anywhere I was looking) :

Lowest off road truck ever hahah

Not sure what’s under the cover but given the clues else where, I say final gen Celica probably

indeedy! Click the tag to see more. It’s about car spotting but in reality, seeing towns how they are in a natural state is super neato as well. OPPO Tours since Feb. of 2014

Too many boring-ass hatchbacks in Europe masked the random bits of glory

I know it could be considered a hatchback , but you better not be calling the Excel I found boring ass!

I wonder how hybrid/electric cars fare in 3rd world countries. and where their batteries end up when they’re scrapped there.

Ballin’

Surprised to see American trucks here

Another surprise on that front, a Russian Kamaz

Ballin’ pt 2

Some rare JDM wheels on an imported Mitsu Pajero? Or not.

First non-Mercedes European car. A Peugeot.

Side visibility is overrated

Some big shot

Some big shot pt 2
