THE LEGENDARY FSM NIKI RECENTLY DIED OUT IN POLAND WHERE THEY WERE MADE FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS! THEY WERE ACTUALLY JUST A HACK OF A FIAT 126 WHICH WERE ALSO VERY VERY SHITTY. THEY BUILT FUCKIN HEAPS OF THESE ABOMINATIONS LIKE ABOUT 3.3 MILLION. THEY WERE RUSTY BASTARDS AND MOST ENED UP LIKE THIS TERRIFIC EXAMPLE BELOW.

SEE THAT? THIS CAR HAS BEEN EATEN THROUGH BY RUST! AND IT ALSO HAS A FLAT TYRE! AND THE PAINT SUCKS! AND WHAT THE HELL WAS THE OWNER THINKING WHEN THEY PUT THOSE FUGLY MAGS ON IT? WHAT ARE THE MAGS MADE OUT OF ANYWAY? PROBABLY BITS OF PLASTIC AND $2 SPRAY PAINT.

YEP, THEY WERE CRAP BUT MANY PEOPLE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY ANYTHING BETTER. BACK IN THE LATE 1980's THE NIKI WAS EXPORTED TO AUSTRALIA, AND PEOPLE DIDNT BUY IT- LITERALLY. THEY WERE THE MOST BASIC CAR ON THE MARKET BY A LONG WAY. BUT THEY PRICED THE BUGGER AT $7995! YOU COULD GET A SUZUKI MIGHTYBOY FOR ONLY $6995! THE MIGHTYBOY WAS A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH; IT HAD A 3 CYLINDER ENGINE WHICH PRODUCES 19-29kw OF RAW POWER. THE NIKI ONLY MAKES A MEASLY 18kw WITH ITS CRAPPY LITTLE 2 CYLINDER 650cc MOTOR. PLUS THE MIGHTYBOY LOOKS MAD-SICK TOO! YOU CAN FIND INFO ABOUT THE MIGHTYBOY HERE -

AS EXPECTED THE NIKI DID NOT SELL WELL AND EVENTUALLY WAS TAKEN OFF THE AUSSIE MARKET.

THE FOLLOWING YEAR TO TRY AND GAIN INTEREST IN THE MICROCAR, THEY RELEASED A CONVERTIBLE NIKI AT AN AUSTRALIAN MOTORSHOW. STILL, NO-ONE TOOK ANY INTEREST, AND ALL THE NIKI IS NOW, IS A SMALL BIT OF HISTORY.

WHEN THE LAST MODEL WAS RELEASED EARLY THIS YEAR, IT WAS NAMED THE 126 HAPPY END. THE POLISH PRESIDENT DESCRIBED IT AS "UNIQUE, THE BEST CAR EVER BUILT". HEY PREZ, HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF A LITTLE THING CALLED A VW BEETLE? OR MAYBE EVEN SOMETHING SMALLER CALLED A MORRIS MINOR? HEHE... PREZ YOU ARE A DUMBASS.
