I don’t think whoever chose that name knows what emeralds look like. I honestly thought the car was black at first.
The actual official name of the colour in Polish is “122 Szmaragd Metaliczny”.

You should vinyl “122 Szmaragd Metaliczny” onto it like a racecar drivers name with the polish flag and such.

I like that idea. I don’t want people thinking my car is boring and black, so I guess I’ll have to spell the fact that it’s actually green out for them! :D

Get personalized plates that read ITSGRN

Unfortunately, only up to 5 characters are allowed on vanity plates here. Would have to be ISGRN or ITGRN. :P

....kick ass. I’ve always like the way these look, for some odd reason. You’re from eastern Europe yeah?

GRNCR would work

I quite like that color! At least SOME PEOPLE knew it was green and not black! :P

That’s a cool car. What does it say on the D-pillar, BTW?
Maybe they were thinking of emeralds in the ground? Who knows?

Are you just planning to commute in it? I’d imagine their numbers have dwindled over there in the last decade or so.

Glad you like it! The sticker on the D pillar says “Caro”, which is what they called the 1991 facelift of the Polonez. :)

Yeah, you don’t see them around anymore, and if you do it’s the later Daewoo facelifted version.
It’s not going to be my main car, but I’ll probably take it to work every now and then. The big plan for this car is to drive it to England next year.

I’ve seen these since I was a kid when travelling to China decades ago. They were commonly used as taxis alongside with the B2 Passat/Santanas and Mk2 Jettas.

Don’t be like me! I’ve turned myself into the butt end of a running gag at Europpomeets by consistently insisting that “My car is not black!!!!”

“The big plan for this car is to drive it to England next year.” Europpomeet?

Was thinking Festival od the Un exceptional, but I’m not ruling anything out. :D
In general, I bought this car to have something a bit more roadtrip friendly in addition to the 126.

I guess there'll be two of us. :P
