I'd hit that for sure. That demo though. God. LOL!

Needs bigger rear wheels, obviously.

There's no tub job like a fat tub job, Darce.

C&C would be cool if it weren't for idiots doing burnouts/peelouts and slamming into parked cars and pedestrians.

That Plymouth is a thing of beauty, though the rear suspension to maintain tire/paint job equality would have to be so fucking tight the car would be a backache to drive.

Anyone interested in buying $2500 worth of shit off me? I need another band van:

Dude that thing is boss.

Regardless of how you feel about pin up girls, this is a pretty rad machine.
And it's purple.
Bonus points.

I'm starting to realise every bike I really love has had the guards removed/chopped down, which is illegal in my state.
Fucking lame QLD and it's lame laws.

But, Flakester....naming success.

That is a sweet bike.

Also, apparently, these dudes build fuzz pedals into VW Beetle taillight assemblies:

Don't know how they sound, but I figured this's as good as anywhere else on the forum to post that info.

Hella Fuzz is a good pun. I can imagine there are droves of purist VW enthusiasts who would foam at the mouth at good condition or NOS Hella lenses being put through this. I approve!

It also bears mentioning that 211 is a microbus family build code, so either this run amount is an example of the VW bus versus bug family split, or the run would have been more appropriate to be held to 153 units (4 seater Convertible LHD (US Model)) or 166 (Schwimmwagen).

In addition to my earlier expressed bewilderment at the obsession with muscle cars, I also feel the need to admit that I am also apparently the only guy on earth who doesn't understand the obsession with either choppers or 70s-style cafe bikes. I literally don't get the appeal of either.

I am seriously the most out-of-touch asshole in automotive history, apparently.

You probably like the Pontiac Fiero too?

Good idea, poor execution
