Fourth and seventh from the top are beautiful. What's up with the rear wheel of the Alpine?

Re: Cool old cars
What's up with the West Virginia Special (Euro Spec)? By which I mean the tan Citroen (I think) with the headlights tied on and the suburban gangsta at the wheel.

Re: Cool old cars
What everyone yearns for when a bird craps on their car:
A true Australian classic, several tonnes of glorious Leyland build quality:
That One Car every guy secretly wants:
John Z Delorean's baby, which incidentally shows why polished metal is a bad choice for a car's bodywork when combined with bright sunlight:
The coolest firetruck, like, ever:
Two rare cars nobody's heard of, one an Israeli attempt to market a British sports car, the other a Dutch monstrosity:
And speaking of Dutch handiwork...

I hope so, the interior was... not really there.

Re: Cool old cars
My guess is someone stuffed wider wheels & tires in the car and didn't want to redo the bodywork, so he had to put an extreme camber on the wheel to tuck it in under the fender.Phantasee wrote:Fourth and seventh from the top are beautiful. What's up with the rear wheel of the Alpine?
Lusankya: Deal!
Say, do you want it to be a threesome with your wife? Or a foursome with your wife and sister-in-law? I'm up for either.

Re: Cool old cars
The wheels looked stock. Apparently setting extreme camber wasn't uncommon when these cars were new.

Re: Cool old cars
They are stock. A110 was a lightweight racing car. Extreme camber was there for a purpose. Every A110 I saw had extreme camber on the rear axle wheels.Bounty wrote:The wheels looked stock. Apparently setting extreme camber wasn't uncommon when these cars were new.
