Here in Belgium, you can insure (not sure if it's the right word)) a car in "Collection" category. That means you have to pass the technical inspection only once, not every year, or two years like a common car.
With this Collection insurance, you can drive about 15-20 miles around your home, or drive to meetings. You cannot drive by night, that's a bad point. But be sure we won't respect the 15-20 miles limit. Police'll just warn us, here the policemen are very kind with old & nice cars. They will first ask us to blip the throttle than to show the papers of the car.
So I don't need wipers, etc. It only has to start, turn and stop, it doesn't matter how loud is the car, how looks the car, etc.
to reply to tcrist, on the 4 first pictures, it's the field that is leaning, that's why it looks so bad... But indeed, the tires were flat.
If you want to help me, I've created a topic (here:
Which tyres and wheels size? ) to choose the right wheels and tires.
Cheers!
