Yes, that is weird, given that the car behind it is also a Renault... a Fuego! :D

That was taken from a group I'm in Skaters Over 50, so maybe the manners were not in the forefront of his cortex at that moment, instead it was rad backside nosegrabs, etc.

I went for a swim at a town beach, and as I bobbed around all these old cars started to arrive. I was wet and freezing, but I had a good time.

This was an Iso Rivolta, an Italian coachbuilt car by Bertone, with a Corvette 327 and FOUR Webers (not sure that’s the way they came). Odd Ferrari wheels added. I’ve only seen one in a magazine. Fast tourer.
