Hmmm... Those jokes sound familiar... Just substitute Peykan for Lada and/or Yugo and/or Skoda? [see below] /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazyeyes.gif

Welcome to the forum and congrats - I think - on owning an unusual car. A guy I know here in Calgary owns a Sunbeam Arrow, he told me once that he was always have Iranians come in to his shop asking about it thinking it was a Peykan. A picture of that car can be found in the Classifieds forum by scrolling down to find the post called "Sunbeam Arrow for sale".

Welcome!

Thanks for the welcome note. I found some jokes about Sunbeam or Paykan here. www.abadan.net/joke/peykan.html
Just wanted to share some laughs.
Great site you guys have here. Keep up the good work!

Pictures??? Not many of us have ever seen a Peykan I'd guess unless they've travelled or worked over in that part of the world. There's a Members Gallery around here to post pictures into easily...

So what's British car ownership like over in your part of the world? A guy in our British car club has worked in the Middle East for many years (has a Triumph Stag in storage here in Canada) and has written about a few interesting discoveries, but in some countries his classic car discoveries were few and far between.

Welcome to the Forum!

I have to admit to being curious about your intro post. Your screen name sounds spanish, the website you posted was from Iran, and your location lists Slovenia, quite the mix. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Welcome again.

You can call it globalization. The world is so small.
