Don’t you hate when you get stuck behind a big cargo vehicle during your morning commute?
A photo of a brick street in the Netherlands, with a green traffic light facing the viewer and many people on bikes crossing the road. In the center of the photo is a man on a bakfiets with a young child standing on the luggage carrier behind the seat. Next to him is a young girl on a pink bike. On the ground underneath them is a large icon of a bike on a grey stone diamond, indicating that they are in a bike left turn lane.

A variety of brutalism on show at the Viking Ship museum in Roskilde today. @brutalismbot.com
A photo of the exterior of a brutalist museum building. There are heavy concrete structures punctuated by triangular window frames that echo the wooden beams in a Viking shop. There is a rocky garden and grass below the windows. A brutalist concrete building housing multiple reconstructed Viking ships sitting on a stony bed. There are huge crossing beams in exposed concrete and a long series of windows making the space very bright. A photo of a real Viking helmet. It is in an exhibit in a museum. The helmet is a simple conical shape with a metal mask and nosepiece, rather than a stereotypical viking helmet with fur and horns.

Went karting at an amazing track today. Any guesses as to what country I’m in?

Looking back through the photos from today’s visit to Egeskov Slot, I’m in love with these old motorcycle logos.

The main museum is also really cool, with an eclectic mix of RBNC and really unusual stuff, like a F104 Starfighter 😳

So many obscure cars sitting in various stages of disrepair. Also spare parts galore.

Another amazing hidden gem of a car museum, this time in Denmark. Egeskov castle has multiple museums (and a castle) on the grounds. The real treasure is the attic of the motorcycle museum, full of old cars, car parts, and just random stuff. So many fascinating things to discover!

Highly recommend the Automuseum Prototyp in Hamburg if you’re in the area. Lots of cool early German prototypes, race cars, and memorabilia in a restored harbor building.

Spotted this lovely Citroën Cactus overlander in Hamburg today. With steel wheels it would be perfect.
A photo of a dark grey Citroën Cactus car on a cobblestone street in Hamburg. The car looks fairly standard, but has a roof rack with extra tire on it, bull bars with rally lights at the front, abd chunky off-road tires. In the background are brick buildings and raised walkways typical of Hamburg’s harbor neighborhood.

@smithandsniff.bsky.social I’m sure you’ve already had countless responses on this, but Pininfarina also designed the Daewoo Tacuma, which is very much in the Matrix vibe of the early 2000s. I was an intern at I.De.A Institute in the late 90s and Korean cars filled the Italian studios at that time.
A photo of the Pininfarina Daewoo Tacuma concept car. It is a strange monovolume car with an odd DRG containing vertical headlamps. The car is metallic brown and is in a studio composite with a light brown gradient background and a brown floor. A photo of a Daewoo Tacuma production minivan. It has a very Nubira-esque DRG and a large DLO with a distinctive sweeping curve. The car is photographed on a wooden terrace by what appears to be an Italian beach, for some reason.

Saturday morning traffic headed to the market.
A photo of a line of casually-dressed people on bikes at a traffic light. They are oma. Clearly marked brick-paved cycling path. Next to the line of bikes is a green and grey city bus waiting at the same traffic light.

In case @creatinglightly.art is looking for some subtle upgrades for his TT, I’ve found some inspiration here in Leiden.

Feel like Stephan Winkelmann is the pinnacle of “European man”. But is the FT stage inspired by Jason Plato’s ladies jacket? @sniffpetrol.com
A journalist speaking to Chairman and CEO of Lamborghini, Stephan Winkelmann. He is wearing an impeccably tailored double-breasted suit with slim-fit trousers and has a scruffy beard and streamlined longer grey hair that is typical of older European men. Behind them is a large screen with a purple glow and FTLive FUTURE OF THE CAR written on it.

In case you were curious how things look in Northern Europe. I filled up the tank yesterday at a “cheap” gast station outside the major cities and this was the result. Total converts to $132 and that comes to $10.32/gallon. Down the street it was close to $11,50/g.

I’m wondering how often people fall down the stairs in Dutch soap operas. In my experience, no western country gets close to NL in terms of hard-to-negotiate staircases.

If you cover it in the winter then it will last quite a long time. If not, then you’ll need to sand and treat it every year or two (in Dutch weather). But that’s common to pretty much all acacia outdoor furniture. Even the more expensive one I’m sitting on needs a good cleaning/treating!

I have officially set two times on a skeleton at Lillehammer’s luge track. If I can, anyone can.
A paper that says “certificate” at the top in a fancy font and below has a photo of a person on a skeleton with the text:

I think that Bertone wedges are often best photographed at detail level. The interactions of the surfaces and cuts are even more dramatic that way!

Some fun snow car spotting this morning. What does #weirdcarbs think is under the cover in pic 3?

Update: It hasn’t stopped all day. It’s like an actual snow day here!
A night time photo of a traffic circle in Leiden, Netherlands with heavy snow falling and on the ground, with bike paths and streets just wet.

Barely did anything creative last year, so decided to start 2026 with a quick sketch of a Ecurie Ecosse D-Type. Not great, but not as bad as I expected after months away from drawing.
