Driving your 1910 Fiat S76 through London like it’s a new 500. Even the steering wheel is on the right side.
Last Call indicates the end of Hooniverse’s broadcast day. It’s meant to be an open forum for anyone and anything. Thread jacking is not only accepted, it’s encouraged.

All but 30 liters of Fire, Brimstone and I’ll have the right-of-way, thanks.
Also, the title of this article should be a Warren Zevon song.
He’ll rip your lungs out, Jim.

Like to take that old fire breathing dragon for a ride.
I would absolutely daily drive this thing.
How is it that I can log in, pass the reCaptcha test, and yet my comments are still ‘detected as spam’? Is Hooniverse really getting that much spam? Isn’t that what reCaptcha is supposed to stop?

Thumbing your nose at the congestion charge in style.
I’ve watched about 35 hours of documentary film from England during the 1960s. As usual, I’m always looking at the cars. Around hour 33 it occurred to me that I had not seen any Volkswagen Beetles. In America the Bug is identified with the ’60s as much as Woodstock and overdosing. When I watch Jacques Tati films from the same period in France the roads are full of Axis and Allies products alike. (“Trafic” is a carspotters dream.) Research tells me England began importing VWs in 1953, but you wouldn’t know it to look at street footage shot in 1967.
Then there’s this from VW Heritage, “The first order of 200 cars arrived by ship at Harwich in batches of 20, along with a crate of spare parts to keep them going for a while. There was still a large amount of prejudice against German products in the early days and on arrival at the docks, incredibly around 75% were damaged by vandalism.” I guess some guys were still sore about the Blitz?
