Not like they’re going to be left outside under a tarp.

I’ve opened 40 year old containers of oil which still looks, smells and feels as fresh as it did when it was made.

Would be different if it was subject to moisture and sat full of nasty sludgy old oil.

Aye, I’d expect a modern engine with synthetic oil will sit for years without much bother. The worst thing would be fuel with ethanol in it sitting anywhere.

That company gets lots of really interesting cars in all the time and the photography is usually really good, they’re worth a follow if only to cry about what you can’t afford

By the time I get around to buying another Lotus it’ll probably be an Emira, but right now that is perfection.

I think it’s horrid but if I had sultan of Brunei money one would definitely be in my collection as a curiosity

Think I’ve posted these body kits before, but I think this looks brilliant. Not sure I’d want to live with a 30mph car- people say they’re perfect for cities, where cars don’t really work

There's a chap with an Ami who I follow on Youtube (Modern Heroes) who lived close to my old house and I saw a couple of times out and about in it. He's just given it back to Citroen after 2 years for a full refund because it broke so comprehensively, repairing it would have involved replacing all of the battery, motor and drivetrain at a cost more than the car is worth. And this is apparently quite common. So I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. Cute though.

Yes, I know it’s stoopid and impractical and impossible to park but I’ve always fancied something like this.

I’m not buying it. Just sharing.

I’d have one if I had a field to park it in.

The fifth wheel hitch makes me think the owner may rob you

A mate’s dad had a Ford F350 Duramax with a fifth wheel. Used it to pull his three car trailer around shows.

I’m helping someone get their 7.3 Powerstroke running and ready for an MOt so just anything with that engine will do.

Dave!

Oh wait, it was a powerstroke he had. The duramax is the Chevy/GMC diesel.

I just really want a Cummins.

i don’t like the colour, but damn that’s a pretty car. 355s are looking better and better as the years go on.

Timeless. The 355 is one of the best looking cars ever made. A lot of supercars produced today will look shit in 30 years, but the 355 will still look magnificent in another 30 years. And yes, hard to believe it's over 30 years old now as a design.

I prefer the 348 aesthetically but aye, timeless is the word for it.

It’s not been bettered since anyway.

Adore that colour, I think it was seeing what I think was a 512BB in that colour when I was five that stirred my first love of cars. Remember trying to decipher the swirly chrome badge down the side.

It made it as a single picture on their stories and that’s it. Thought it would go quick
