Just came back home after a great weekend in Finland. Went out in the woods outside Mäntsälä to see some nice Volkswagen on the icy roads.

Coolest thing I've seen in a while!

Way cool. Especially the black wide five notch.

All three cars shown have hoods that are not body colored. Is that a thing in Finland?

It's a thing in Europe and Japan I've noticed. I think it's a good look.

it seems to be a signifier that it is a rally car in the vw world. i think it dates back to at least the early 60's and the scania vabis rally cars. a lot of the time flat black is used to cut the glare off the bonnet at night (or when driving into the sun).

great pics, it looks like a lot of fun.
