Could easily be just pushed around. I see a roll cage and good mods. Does he race it?

Hill climb / time trial? Are they timing beam struts. Although odd there are two and they look kind of think. Can’t tell.

That is spectacular. I love how trucks of that era can have visible rust that is strong. While cars if the 80's and 90's get rust that flakes off. That truck just looks rusty and solid

A selection from the local airfield this weekend - including a rather stunning Datsun, a classic Volvo (my son had to go and check the badge - he didn't believe it was a Volvo), a beige TR7 and assorted Fords.

Surprisingly it hasn’t moved.

Strange parking space. I know that’s an odd take. Seems very long and has a yellow line suggesting you can’t enter.

[S griffin]

Question is, who painted the yellow line?

[fieldodreams79]

I'd say it's Louisiana and it's best not to ask too many questions as you may end up in the swamp.

Or it's just a trashy (or normal for LA) long term stay hotel parking lot that allows fan boat parking.

This is a private apartment lot that used to have a tennis court on it (decades ago) Have no clue on the stripping, but that lot used to have all sorts of interesting cars dumped in it. Rare early 90's Infinity's some strange Mitsubishi sedans from early 2000's and some other random stuff. Eventually the complex got sick of it and made people clean it up or be towed. Many of the residents are international students, so at times things can be left as the kids graduate and return to their countries.

Sounds classy.

Speaking of classy, how about a camo GTR?!! Spotted at the local big box hardware store.

[Adam43]

That blends in.

[joeb]

I need to see it leaving with a 10ft long 2x4 sticking out the window!

[Adam43]

Never Ben sure what I think about the slatted rear window.

Still, cool dude, and we exchanged cheery horn beeps.

I'm for slatted rears on some vehicles; not that one.

[broadrun96]

Nope, and not this one either

[Adam43]

Are those aftermarket slats?

[broadrun96]

I seriously hope so, there were other things on the car that weren't great so I would guess yes.

[broadrun96]

Street parked around the corner of the flat this afternoon

[Adam43]

Shiny.

I do think the Fiat 500 is a fun little car. Even in modern form.

[S griffin]

Perfect place to park a Ferrari there

[broadrun96]

And then felt at home this morning walking to the flat after a nice full English.

He was in the disabled bay, seems quite spry so..... But he didn't leave it in gear and walked away until we all pointed out, uh dude your car

[Adam43]

Nice. Would look better with higher profile tyres.

[broadrun96]

I'm not sure if it was a kit or actual. Very exposed underside but didn't see coils so assume transverse spring real chassis, dash was minimal to say the least, sounded proper.

FAR too many 911s here, that flat 6 noise and extreme dbag drivers, the Ferrari passed me this morning and made a proper noise as well.
