Rust? Shhhh. You cant call it that! (even if it is that)
That, in car collector speak, is Patina.

Nice.

I really want to drive some super early stuff. A technical challenge. Not like that at all, but I had a ‘30s Austin 7 for a bit. Fun to nip to the shops in.

Love it.

And the Dodge Bus. Needs to get out and about.

Cant believe the Italians made the Montreal and Fulvia Zagato in RHD! OK for the Nuova 500 but the others are rare? Cant say if the Buick is a Special, Super Eight or Roadmaster tho… They look similar to me.

Its a Goodwood spec car Gérard! It has a turbo fitted so I guess maybe an intercooler.

Actually it has a 75 twin spark engine fitted.

Is it not a c 2000 Gen. 4 Chev. Camaro?

Re the space in an Elise, I think it is a Lotus thing. I had a Europa back c 1975 which was so compact inside even trying to lean across and kiss a date goodnight was a challenge. Anything more adventurous totally out of the question. And that was when I was young and flexible! Happy Days.

Yup, the bloated pig of a mistake Camaro that almost killed it completely. Ran from 93-02 with 8 years needed for us to forget it. BUT there are some great tuned ones out there that are great street stock road course and drag cars.

Think she's a 2000 SS but JHammy would know the years better probably

One of my (younger) workmates has an Elise. He is also a keen competitive cyclist and has some very strong rubber sucker attachments to hold his racing bike on the roof! It looks really cool to see his racing bike fixed to the top of his sports car.

I'm surprised it could fit on top of the roof without falling off

I believe we referenced Brodozer earlier, this is it. F350 with the $15k 6.7L diesel and the most ridiculous RC car wheels not likely rated for the load the truck SHOULD be carrying

I am firmly of the opinion that these people can do what they want, that it is all part of the rich tapestry of life and isn’t it great everyone likes different things.

But this really tests my resolve when it comes to this life view.
