there was an old Talbot in a mechanics workshop in rural France, we saw it when one of the lads binned his bike, and" Le Garagiste" made a brilliant temporary repair, The "Talbow" as they pronounce it over here was thought to be quality car-mind you it probably was in those years-it was from England -Talbots were built in England from French kit??? anyway, it definitely had patina under 6 inches of dust.

Today I've been to Liverpool to pick up an eBay purchase so fitted in a visit to the U Boat http://www.u-boatstory.co.uk
Being under the sea for 50 years is how you get proper patina ! It is huge and my impression of them from films made me expect something half the size. If any machine could be described as evil then it's a U Boat.

from the oxford dictionary
A green or brown film on the surface of bronze or similar metals, produced by oxidation over a long period: many bronzes have been overcleaned, their original patina removed and artificially replaced
gloss or sheen on wooden furniture produced by age and polishing: the dining table will acquire a warm patina with age figurative plankton added a golden patina to the shallow, slowly moving water
so, patina is not rust on cars, cars were not designed to have a rust finish and look terrible rusty

This is Patina 64 yrs in the making, anyone who disagrees is welcome to tell me face to face
I would say it to your face but Yorkshire's a bit of a long drive and I think this will suffice.from the oxford dictionary

It was the fact that it was bronze that I was talking about.

nope not patina it states bronze or similar metals (non ferrous) so steel is out, hence it has its own name rust
the white pick up doesn't look right and the sill under the door is bent exhaust looks terrible I reckon that is a complete bodge up done with hardly any budget

Didn't we establish earlier that that's what rat means?

I suppose we may have done, guess its down to personal definition of the terms. The pick up is not finished-its in primer to cover the bodywork until more work can be done in the winter when he has the money-not everyone has the money -or the inclination- to a top dollar job on their projects. I was suprised myself that the exhaust did not fracture-its got virtually no support.
The sportser rat has some bodges as the lad has been out of work for some time due to a slipped disc and has two nippers at school-its unlikely to get anymore work done on it now as he has just been diagnosed with lung cancer, so Sunday was probably his last run on it, it will be getting laid up for his son when he comes of age.
