Gents, I present you a full service gas station in Yuri, Niger:







Note the fast food section in the back.

Ummm, octane is the last thing one would worry about.

Totally serious reply:

This reminds me of an auto shop that my uncle and visited many years ago, in the rural hills of Puerto Rico. He was picking up an automatic transmission which was being rebuilt. The shop consisted of a few canvas tarps erected over some folding tables on a patch of grass. Even at a young age, I kinda knew that the internal workings of an automatic transmission were fundamentally incompatible with bugs, dirt, grass, etc.

 

filler up with red label!

Sorry for crappy pics, best I could do at the time.

 

looks like a shithole.

 

I've been lurking the FS section about 6 months on this and other sites for a miata.

Search is over. FV autocrosser found. owing another miata delayed, again.

 

^ That is awesome.

When I lived in SoCal, I really wanted to buy an FV and convert it into a street car. Never found the time.

 

this is what i sold the Miata to get and is basically a 2 seat FV. There is a FS on this site somewhere for it



It was not a good move. Let race cars be race cars and street cars be street cars man.

I wish I had more pics of my old Vee. I learned a valuable lesson about backing up HDDs...

 

 

So very pretty.

 

Not quite as bad, but a couple of years ago while staying in Canta, Peru we drove around looking for a gas station before heading back to Lima. We finally stopped at the Police Station to ask and they directed us across the street to a house. The attendant opened his door when we knocked and dragged a hose out of the house and filled our tank.

That's mostly impressive
