Welcome to Craigslist Crapshoot, our weekly search for the most bizarre, awesome, and/or terrible vehicles that the online classifieds has to offer.
I’m not sure what went down last week, but it appears that everything from our contest after the jump disappeared into the cornfield. That’s too bad because there was some really pithy feedback and of course the previous week’s winner. Hopefully this week we’ll be able to see the coolest diesel mini truck deal and get thing back to the normals.
This week we’re going to let it ride – not with the diesels but with the theme of mini. I don’t know about you but for me at least, spring is in the air, and that means getting out and shaking off the morass of winter’s long confinement. Maybe I’m a bear? Regardless, let’s prep for that eventual wanderlust and look this week to find the best and worst of mini-motorhomes for sale. Cab-overs, Mini-Winnies, what have you. And like last week, price is no object.
As always, we want your finds to go down in infamy and not in the site’s spam filter. Follow any of the following advice and you’re crap will be known far and wide.
- Easiest way to not get caught in the spam filters is to create an IntenseDebate account. If you do so and your posts aren’t appearing, let us know at tips@hooniverse.info and we can put you on the whitelist
- If you don’t want an IDC account, you can create a wordpress.com account and do the same thing.
- If you’re the Ted Kaczynski type and don’t want any kind of account, then try to place only a single link in a comment and just drop any outgoing link in via its raw URL and not as a text link.
Got that? Good, now fingers crossed, lets look at last week’s winner.
The diesel mini pickup is a category of vehicle that is just not well represented in the new car market here in the States any more. That wasn’t always the case, and in Europe it seems to be the rule not the exception. Because of that, I’d like to give special acknowledgement to Sjalabias for contributing a smörgåsbord of weird and wonderful smokers from the Continent.
The winner however is this 1982 Datsun Diesel pickup, because honestly when was the last time you say one of these, and because Datsun diesel is just so darn much fun to say. This beauty was found by both Mike R. and my good buddy Tomsk, so you both share in the glory. Congrats to you both, and thank you to all for your contributions!
