Yes, it's better if you post them on imgur.com since they are not VW (unless your Bus was in them?)
I did that with the orange Fiat above.

Usually those sort of pics get left in place when it's part of an overall thread, like people doing some big road trip report where they posted a ton of pics and a few are not VW.

1-off non-VW pics, especially when they are not in use here, look like someone using the site for personal hosting.
I checked a couple of the pics you posted and they were not in use.

Feel free to repost them and I'll leave them in place

Today at Anytime Fitness, a white Bentley Convertible parked next to my 1988 Mazda B2200 truck.

This was a couple of weeks ago, but we always seem to get an out of the ordinary car at out Saturday morning Cars and Coffee. A 1957 Rolls and this nice 1963 bug with 17k original miles.

I found a parking spot just behind this pretty little 912 this morning.

Apparently you get extra internet cred for shitty looking welds like that, it's a badge of honor amongst the dumbass crowd. Confused

Those fans will eventually cook the engine.

Today, I saw a black new Nissan Z Nismo. Not many on the road.

Here is the B.A.T. listing for the BMW 700 Mike posted.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1961-bmw-700-sport-coupe/

There other pics of the axles from different angles. The welds look pretty sound.
It appears that the axles were welded at a drive shaft shop.
Ever looked at drive shaft welds?

John, can you explain how the squirrel fans are gonna cook an engine in a race car?

Interesting that you can glean enough info from one photo to make that judgement. Something tells me it is much better than you think it is.

My judging is much better than my welding. Go with your strengths


Very Happy

Not too out of the ordinary but for a dreary early March day, a little colour.

Saw this beautiful RHD Mini yesterday out in Mission. A rare sunroof edition as it always rains in England.
