I’m generally against AI (obviously) but someone on IG has conjured a Ford 021C RS and I’m OK with that.

The next car along from this was a 992 Turbo but that’s Arundel for you.

Took this photo at 6.30 this morning. Sadly this wonderfully patinated Lotus-Ferrari 19 is no longer this shape.

Society lost something when carparks starting asking for your car registration. Yes it was technically fraud, but passing on your non expired ticket to a grateful stranger as you left the car park was one of life's simple joys.

Too early to be thinking about Christmas really but I like the baubles in Lakeside.

The trusty Mondeo being support vehicle for a very different red K-reg car.

Pretty much identical to the car I learned to drive in. Can’t remember the last time I saw one.

It’s been ages since I took an appropriate car to a show so it was good to take my very unexceptional base Mondeo to FOTU.

First proper road trip under its belt. Used it as a van to take a stand a mags to the Jim Clark event in Duns. Not bad for a car that stood for six years until January, and which has averages below 2000 miles per year over its lifetime.

Three of the four single-seaters Jim Clark drove in 1968, the year he won the F1 World Championship, the Indy 500 and the Tasman Series. It’s a record that will never be beaten. The backdrop is Duns Castle.

Adam Wilkins @adamwilkins.bsky.social · 20/06/2025

I’ve covered 1000 miles in the Mondeo now. To mark the milestone I’m going to clean off the algae (in this heat). A polish might have to wait until the weather cools down.

Little clip from Saturday’s Classic Team Lotus Garden Party. They’d assembled the biggest ever collection of ex-Jim Clark cars, including this Type 49. Volume up!

Nick Clegg's new book is £25, but I'm sure he's okay with us stealing it.

Shooting an GS Europa today, an opportunity arose for a size comparison. I assure you the Europa is 1:1 scale.

Been saying this about the word "absolute" for years. There's a magazine called Absolute Lotus and it always makes me smirk when I see it on the newsstand.

Meta have stolen the work of 1000s of writers to train their AI. All of my books were included in their illegal action. Today UK authors are protesting against this theft. Copyright law is clear: to use a creator’s copyrighted work, you need to get permission and agree payment. #DoTheWriteThing

Little outing in my unexceptional Mondeo took me past Grimsthorpe Castle, venue for FOTU. Seemed apt to stop for a pic.

For many years I’ve said I’ll one day own a Suzuki Whizzkid. I’ll probably continue to say that for many more years, but this one looks wonderful.

Did you even snow foam if you didn’t take a photo? Finally made time to clean off the mud from a breakfast run in November.

OK, it cost more than a third of what I paid for the car, but it’s worth every penny. Has freshened up the whole appearance.

If you’re not from Manitoba, you may not have ever seen one of these before. This is a bombardier. Designed in 1937 in Quebec, these were originally used as rural ambulances and school buses. Adopted by commercial fisherman in Manitoba’s Interlake, you still see them regularly in winter. 1/2

A large machine that looks like a cross between a VW beetle, a snowmobile and a tank sits in the snow along the edge of an enormous frozen lake. This particular machine is painted white and has two large auger’s off the back near the treads. The windows look like port holes along the side and there’s a rack on its rounded roof for carrying extra gear. It’s a cloudy day and the white paint job blends into the snow.

Beside you of a machine that looks like a cross between a VW beetle, a snowmobile, and a tank sits in the middle of a giant frozen lake. It’s painted bright yellow, and has the smokestack of a woodstove coming out from the middle of the roof. Four port hole windows line the side, and there is a passenger side door in the front. Where the front wheels should be our skis and the back is powered by a four wheel tractor tread.

First roof-down drive of the year. Only a matter of time now before the weather is good enough to clean it.

Adam Wilkins @adamwilkins.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

It didn’t fail that hard, so it’ll probably back on the road soon. As long as there are no curveballs.
