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

I hadn't noticed. Extreme camber?

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.

Lowrider 2CV on hydraulics. It drew a small crowd.

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...

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?

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

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.
