Phil @boringcardriver.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Drove to Italy, furthest we’ve ever been on a road trip. Journey stats for @boosplodge.bsky.social, a picture of the view for the rest of you. 270
Phil @boringcardriver.bsky.social · 19/11/2025Saturday night, got a puncture in the A4, repaired it in time to get a puncture in the Mii tonight. Same wheel both times. 000
Phil @boringcardriver.bsky.social · 08/11/2025This lil beauty has been punching above its weight for the last 3 weeks, as our only roadworthy car. Even fitted in a Costco shop. 070
Phil @boringcardriver.bsky.social · 18/09/2025Been getting small flies appearing whenever I drove the car, hadn’t had time to investigate. The kids got in yesterday, first time in a while, and moaned there were ‘loads of flies’ in the back. Turns out the boy had left a half eaten wrap in the door pocket, since 24th August. 🤢 200
Phil @boringcardriver.bsky.social · 31/08/2025Trying to install old versions of Windows on a couple of old laptops, in order to sell them. Takes me back, and not in a good way. This is what made me a Mac user. 020

Phil @boringcardriver.bsky.social · 14/08/2025I’ve passed one of these a few times outside the local Renault dealer, the Mobilize Duo, basically the replacement for the Twizy. Apparently the higher power version will be coming to the UK. 000
Phil @boringcardriver.bsky.social · 06/08/2025Best guess is, this is a Moroccan number plate. Unless anyone knows otherwise? 120
Phil @boringcardriver.bsky.social · 01/08/2025Checking into tonight’s hotel, the receptionist didn’t switch to English the moment he heard my French. Marginal gains an all that. 010
Phil @boringcardriver.bsky.social · 26/07/2025Saw a guy in a Polestar 4, the one with no rear window, trying to reverse out onto a main road. Needless to say, he was there ages. 020
Phil @boringcardriver.bsky.social · 25/07/2025You ever see an imported car, and wonder why they went to the effort and expense to bring it here? It’s no Crown Vic. 161
Phil @boringcardriver.bsky.social · 17/07/2025There’s a quite surprising number of old CRVs on the the Isle of Man, I’ve seen loads of them. 010
Phil @boringcardriver.bsky.social · 16/07/2025Slow internet might well be worse than no internet. 000
Phil @boringcardriver.bsky.social · 14/07/2025I’ve long mocked w3w, and my wife for believing it’s a great solution. Trying to tell her a location on the phone proved this. “First word is sillier” “How do you spell that?” “Like silly, but sillier” … “Sleeping” “Sleepy?” “No. Sleeping.” And so on. It’s too easy to misinterpret when spoken. 361
Phil @boringcardriver.bsky.social · 13/07/2025Cummins and spiced potato? I think I’ll give that a miss. Imagine the emissions. 100
Phil @boringcardriver.bsky.social · 08/07/2025First Microlino I’ve seen, in the queue for the Isle of Man ferry. 281

Phil @boringcardriver.bsky.social · 28/06/2025Personally, I don’t like brown cars, but I’m willing to bet this is right up someone’s Straße www.ebay.co.uk/itm/23617158... 191

Phil @boringcardriver.bsky.social · 17/06/2025Getting an extension built, feels like the most grown up thing I’ve ever done. Also second most expensive. 020
Phil @boringcardriver.bsky.social · 02/06/2025I’m useless at anything pre 1980s. What did we spot on the Autoroute? 130
Phil @boringcardriver.bsky.social · 24/05/2025Just caught the end of Wheeler Dealers en Français, there must be a Gallic equivalent of ‘old out yer ‘and. 120
Phil @boringcardriver.bsky.social · 14/05/2025Mr Zuckerberg has reminded me it’s 10 years since I sold this, still the only car I sold for more than I paid. 040
Phil @boringcardriver.bsky.social · 12/05/202536 quid a corner cheaper than CrossClimates. We’ll see how we get on. 180
Phil @boringcardriver.bsky.social · 06/05/2025I use the NATO alphabet when spelling stuff out on the phone, because it works. At the same time I feel like a complete wazzock doing so. It can’t just be me? 880
Phil @boringcardriver.bsky.social · 01/03/2025Cars I have a want for, but no need for: this up-spec LHD 106, complete with air con. That interior is almost plush. www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/... 030
Phil @boringcardriver.bsky.social · 11/02/2025I’ve got the inexplicable urge to drive another 42 miles. 020
Phil @boringcardriver.bsky.social · 10/02/2025Incredible condition Paseo, a month off 30 years old, 32k miles at last MOT. 251
Phil @boringcardriver.bsky.social · 07/02/2025Anyone else noticed, with the rise of EV/PHEV drivetrains, the number of mundane looking cars with astonishing performance? A Mazda SUV in front of me the other day, set off like a stabbed rat, it apparently has 323 horsepower. Took me by surprise. 510
