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 _________________ How to Post Photos

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.

Those fans will eventually cook the engine.

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?

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. _________________ nothing |

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

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