Cars on the River Tundzha in Yambol

 For the life of me, I don't understand why they have put cars in the River Tundzha in Yambol. I know they are fun things, but cars? Give me a paddle boat anytime!

Oooops! Smashed up Car Parked up in Yambol

Seemingly this car is now just scrapped metal after being smashed up and parked on a Yambol road. A carpet replaces the window to keep the rain out for some reason.

Typical Yambol Car Seen Drive Past Without Rear Wing

this car was seen driving past me without a right rear wing. with its inners revealed it looks as if this has been the state of the car for quite some time with the internal weathering.

A Moskvitch Car in Excellent Condition in Yambol

The Moskvitch is a Russian designed car but was produced in Bulgaria between 1966 and 1990. This is probably one of them which is in very good condition. I see many of these cars around but rarely in prime condition. This one was found in Kaufland Supermarket car park

A Yambol Car Hibernating in Summer

Hibernation usually takes place in Winter, but for one car in Yambol it happens in the Summer. With the natural cover of low tree branches and a nylon cover, that car sure looks cosy. and of course protected from the searing heat of the summer sun. I did wonder whether the owner owns that garage behind it though!?

A Classic Trabant 601 in Yambol

Always a pleasure to see a trabant on the road even though the 2 stroke engine is bad for the environment. This East German made car still runs well as I see the owner quite often drive off and return. Pity it is not garaged as it is a sought after model and worth preserving.

Wheelchair Access in Yambol

There are many provisions made for wheeled vehicle access in Yambol. Mainly for buggies, prams and wheelchairs. That's great, unless of course a car blocks the access which I often see in this particular place. 

A Car With Clashing Colours Parked Up in Yambol

Not quite sure of the taste of this car parked up in Yambol, but it caught my eye with the clashing of colours. Not standard colours by any means. Someone loves it!

Typical Bad Car Driver in Yambol

Well what's wrong with this car approaching this road junction? Most wouldn't bat an eyelid in Yambol with this scene of a car driving the wrong direction up a one way street. It is typical of many car drivers who have no regard to road signs - and they get away with it. However, if I did it I'd get fined! That is the way of Bulgaria and Yambol is no exception. At this this driver is letting the pedestrian cross, or are they waiting to pounce once in the road? I know what happened next anyway.

A Simple Homemade Car Port In Yambol

All you need to make a car port is an exsisting wall, a bit of corregated iron and an piece of material to make up a wall. This is exactly what this is made up of and a car would fit snuggly in there overnight. Planning permission? lol - Don't you just love it?

Beware Of Craters On Yambol Roads

Beware of craters in Yambol roads should be the warning in bold letters before this approach into the City. I myself drove and broke my wheel on this particular section with an expensive repair job in its wake. Many others I'm sure have had the same experience. Oh well, all part of the adventure of Bulgaria which you have to accept.

A Car With No Handbrake In Yambol

I'm not too sure what the make, model or year of this car is but I do know that the handbrake doesn't work. It probably passed its MOT this year anyhow on condition that it take a little rock to place under the wheel when parked up.

A Tarted Up Trabant In Yambol

I caught sight of this tarted up Trabant car in Yambol and must admit was quite impressed. I didn't see it drive off but am sure it would still whir and purr away leaving a trail of 2-stroke smoke in its wake.The owner must have spent quite some time doing this up.

Old Abandonded Car On Yambol Wasteground

There are thousands of old cars tucked away in garages in Yambol, most out of sight from public view, but one I saw today was abandoned on a bit of wasteland. It looks like it had been there for quite a few years. I’m not sure of the make or how old it is, but and sure it will remain there for a few years to come.

A Yambol Cat In The Shade

I am not a fan of cats, whether they are from Yambol or not, but cats are fans of cars here, especially during hot weather. It is common to see cats under cars where the shade is a bit of a relief, they often fall asleep there. The soon wake up and move when the car is started up though.

An Abandoned Car in Yambol

Abandoned cars in Yambol are a common sight, but even though this one seemingly has no use to anyone it does. It is used as a store for a a shop adjacent the postion. You can see the boxes of clothing inside the car. I assume the locking system work ont he doors, certainly no one can make a getaway in this vehicle, not that this sort of thing goes on here anyway. This picture does sum up some parts of a Yambol that is being modernised very fast. There will be no more sights like this anymore as laws will come in for abandoned vehicles.

Operation Lada in Yambol

A normal sight on a cold morning in Yambol where a Lada owner is performing operations. We have to recognise the person by either the car he is lent over or by the trousers and boots. Like I say this is a very common sight myself included in this group of Lada operations. Notice the door wide open on the road side, this is common as well.

Lada Rear Indicator Lights

This just caught the eye in Yambol this morning. A well worn Lada emblem and rear indicator lights. This Lada car is at least 20 years old and still retains the charactor.

Very Old Mint Condition Car

As I walked out into the street this morning, I saw parked outside the house on the cobblestone road a very old car. It was in mint condition. On the front it had the name Moskvits (мoскьич). I have no idea how old it is. Perhaps some viewer can give some info here on the year of this particular Russian model?

Dumped Car

This old car has been parked here for as long as I have lived here. I see it day in day our year after year. It hasn't budged with it's obsolete number plate and vegetation growing around. It is strange no on does anything about it, especially so as it is parked just outside the Yambol police station!
