The perfect car for #frenchfriday in a #noboringcarcolors 🩵🩵🩵 is this Citroën C4 Cactus. The blackheads on its side are “airbumps” that are meant to make it tougher for city life. It is awkward but I love it. #hatchbackweek #citroen #citroenc4 #citroenc4cactus #citroën #citroënc4 #citroënc4...

Out of focus but still a cool shot - 💛 Cinquecento and ♥️ Seicento from the era when Fiat thought everyone ought to know how to spell 500 and 600 in words in Italian for @milannicolo #lamacchinadelmercoledi and @costipredoiu #hatchbackweek

A lovely grand finale to #hatchbackweek by @costipredoiu is a 1971-4 BMW 2000 tii Touring Alpina. Before Touring meant station wagon in BMW-speak, they were hatchback versions of their compact execs. ~5,800 of the 2000/2002 tii Tourings were built and only few of those must have gotten the Alpin...
