Classifieds / Maluch restoration party in Poznan with beer [21]


It absolutely amazing fun to drive, me and mikey delphian drove round in it for ages yesterday and couldn't stop laughing, I mainly bought it for my g/f as she jokingly said she wanted one so found this and thought I could tidy it up a bit, It also means I can buy another big saloon car as we can drive this within the city to conserve petrol.

I have some 15" minilite style wheels in the UK which i'll bring to fit on it and i think it will look awesome, Always fancied fitting a motorbike engine in one though :)

USA, Canada / Cigarettes reach nine dollars a pack in New York [82]


So he's gone from killing himself with smoke to killing the planet,

Somebody please think of the children

Life / Things that annoy you in Poland. [114]

The roads, People who don't accept responsibility for their actions when things go wrong, The terribly corrupt police force, Dual pricing for foreigners as they think we are wealthy, Bureaucracy and the fact that most of the food is utter shite.

Law / What can I do with 250000$? [33]

Hookers, coke and champagne, you could live the life for a while for that sort of cash :)

Life / Which brand of Mosquito repellant would you recommend (Warsaw), or... [22]

Buy some neem oil, smells like bovril but really does the trick!

Travel / Best method of transport to get from Warsaw to Kaunas? [14]

Go by car, the car is still by far the best way of getting around,

Love / SHE'S 25, HE'S 85 (Polish actor Andrzej Łapicki) -- ANY FUTURE? [82]

She's got a really strange face......

The average life expectancy in Poland (according to Wikipedia) is 75 so he's 10 years out of date. 12 months tops

Life / Which brand of Mosquito repellant would you recommend (Warsaw), or... [22]

I havent noticed too many of them this year, I usually get annihilated by them, avoid anything with deet as if you use to much it will make you ill, Could try that mosquito sound on loop, provided you have no children or dogs in the house you shouldn't be able to hear it.

Life / Are foreigners welcome in Poland? [267]

I just find that the majority of people stare at foreigners even in the big cities, Older generations seem to despise foreigners for some reason. Also Polish drivers never let english registered cars out of junctions I think that may just be down to arrogance.

Travel / VISITING POZNAN, can anyone suggest places to visit including good bars/clubs? [16]

forget Poznan I must recommend Gorzow :)

Travel / VISITING POZNAN, can anyone suggest places to visit including good bars/clubs? [16]


I had to get a photo of that,

Good sights in poznan....,

Stary browar you can't miss it, again stary rynek is very pretty, Brovaria in the old square do awesome beer, If you like clubbing SQ is very good, as is Pozdali, if the weather is good Pozdali plaza near the train station is quite good and has an outdoor pool, Citadela is also apparently very pretty but never been, looks huge though. The cathedral is also worth a look.

Avoid walking around jezyce, debiec and wilda districts at night as they can get quite rough,

Rodeo drive in stary browar do awesome food as does the Sushi bar on the ground floor of the WBK building near Stary Browar. Avoid the bistro cafes as they generally aren't very hygenic but are stupidly cheap.

Pubs worth visiting, Brogans is usually quite good, Kultowa, Johnny rocker, Minoga smells of sewage but the atmosphere is good, Terratorium is also quite a good club. Dragon is full of expats as is Prolitariat.

Can't think of anything else to add.

Love / Polish women are the most beautiful in the world! [1718]

Polish girls beautiful? No thats what they have been told to think as they have no other redeeming features,

The personality of most polish females lets them down considerably, It would be like buying a Ferrari only to discover it has a malluch engine, Most polish women are sour faced, rude, controlling and possessive, Just a general observation but it seems to ring true with the majority.

Love / What to wear when trying to pick up girls in Poland? [58]

wear your wallet so they can see it as that's all they're actually interested in.

Life / What I miss and don't miss about Poland [64]

I miss proper beef and cornish pasties whilst in Poland, when in the UK i miss cheap beer.

History / Communism fell 20 years ago, Poland led the fight since WW2 [339]

Is communism actually over? You wouldn't think that judging by the customer service and the general attitude of some people.

Life / BMW Poznan cutomer service is surprisingly good! [8]

A BMW is a normal car, theyre not exactly that expensive to buy anymore, even brand new. I just found it nice the way they made me a cup of coffee and treated me really well even though I was only buying a 100 pln part and booking it in for a service, Kudos to them really, Poznan Audi is terrible in comparison and audi are supposedly a manufacturer of high class/quality cars.

On the other hand BMW dealerships in the UK are terrible.

Life / Cost of converting cars in Poland to left-hand drive [58]

Poles can't drive very well so it could be demanding for them to drive a RHD car in a LHD country, Personally I drive around 1500 miles a week throughout europe and don't find it a problem at all and have never once crashed or for that matter come near, General road etiquette and patience work very well unlike the usual polish arrogance and total lack of regard for other road users which is so prevalent on Polish roads.

Love / What do Polish girls think about dating Asian guys? [134]

If you have loads of money which they could take from you, I'm sure you will get loads of dates,

Life / Popular and Practical Cars in Poland [49]

That volvo crashed is staged, The 940 is a rwd car so the engine would be mounted longitudinally, If you look at where it crumples it goes right through where the engine is, It looks at though the engine has been removed from the volvo for the test.

I personally would rather be in a big car as they are safer, I'm sure new large cars are safer than new small cars, These tests are using cars based on 20 yr old designs which isn't really a fair representation.

Life / Popular and Practical Cars in Poland [49]

Skoda! Ironically i was told that it means "pity" in polish,

Life / Parking Fines in Poland [26]

I've had loads of parking fines in Poland and never bother paying them, obviously I always buy a ticket etc but sometimes especially when dealing with polish organisations you get tied up for longer than expected and come back late only to find a ticket on the windscreen. They can't trace UK registered cars so don't worry to much, Same with speeding fines etc.

Love / What are Polish Women like? Just started to date one. [256]

Polish women are generally uber fit. Personally i like women from the pacific rim :D

Life / POLISH YOUTH compared to the youth in other Western countries? [57]

I would say that people my age (24) here in Poland are much more respectful than their British counterparts. I don't think drug abuse is too much of a problem here at all with students sometimes smoking weed. People here seem to drink much more than we do in Britain but they seem to know how to behave once intoxicated. As for promiscuity the French beat us all hands down and maybe even zee Germans. Most of the Polish girls i've spent time with have respect for themselves and their bodies with only not so nice ones being utter sluts. I don't think you can judge an entire nation and compare them to other entire nations but in my experience young people in Poland are much better behaved. I've never once seen a fight in the city centre after a night out but its almost guaranteed if you go drinking in any British town or city,

Off-Topic / What's your connection with Poland? Penpals. [512]

Came here initially for a few months, Loved it, realised that England was a sinking ship and decided to stay a bit longer.

Have to go back to England next week though for a few months :(

Law / How to register a foreign Non-EU car in Poland? [25]

You can register a jap import providing there is no LHD drive alternative, for example the nissan skyline, Mitsubishi FTO, Eunos Roadster (mx5 in europe)

Takes a bit of doing but there is a Skyline GTR tanking around Poznan on Polish plates, When I spoke to him he told me that he was able to register in in Poland due to there being no LHD alternative.
