It’s certainly one of the better styled cars of the moment

Someone did a rendering of it with a Rolls Royce grille and I have to say it looked a whole heap better. This should’ve been a roller

Saw the new 3-series in the metal for the first on Sunday. Looks better in person than in a photo but still looks like it’s been punched in the face

If you squinted a bit, and had a few G&Ts, it could almost be a scene from the 80s! A Duff up front, and a rake of blue and grey air conditioned mark 2s in tow. The sound of a big Sulzer and the whirring of those motor alternators… #Class47 #BritishRail #York

Just watched the last 10 seconds or so of the WRC title decider again, and it's just as dramatic as watching it live. Highly recommend watching it, the link should take you to 1 minute 28 seconds. 🤯 youtu.be/hzdpA_K-og8?...

I would suggest @indecisiveauto.bsky.social @5pot4pot.bsky.social and @vhschloe.bsky.social might be able to offer advice on parts for your C70 - which looks great by the way!

A £1K Volvo on a forum. A for sale thread with a sudden, dramatic drop in price because of a load of warning lights. "Could it be a module? Wiring issue? Either way, I'm done!" price. So I said "let me have a look" - and as no-one else jumped on it, I took it away ready to diagnose, disassemble...
A 2007 Volvo C70 D5 automatic, side view. This is a folding hardtop car with the roof open and side windows raised, the windows form the impressive large glazed area of the original C70. The picture makes the car look blue-black and a bit scruffier than it is because the road dust sticks to scratches and dents.The rear nearside quarter has some damage, which looks a little worse due to the black paint.The Volvo's interior has survived well, thanks to the simple, minimalist design and good build quality. This era of Volvo has a floating centre console, finished in brushed aluminium.

I've been giving the Boxster a tickle with a machine polisher and a quick ceramic coating. It's come up pretty nicely for a car I bought for £200 in 2018

Livie is the daily driver round here. That means she gets a tad neglected in the washing and polishing departnent. I put that to rights on Tuesday and now I feel guilty as she scrubs up really quite well.

The tooling of the heritage stuff is ancient now. I’ve heard many issues of poor quality shells being produced but until now it’s all that can be done. I’m all for the Chinese produced shells, after all, it’s not like anyone in the UK or Europe is going to stump up funds to retool BMH’s factory

Chris Mountford @chrisfm52e.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Haha! Same chassis but the 90 was the upmarket version of facelifted Audi 80 B2, with Audi 90’s having different trim (the heckblende for instance) and featuring five cylinder petrol engines. Just to add confusion, they could also be specced with a four cylinder diesel engine.
