Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 3hGreetings from my Corolla’s trunk. The tailgate won’t open, so I’m trying to access the latch. Pulling from the cable or operating it manually from the inside doesn’t pop it open, so the cable has probably come undone from the latch. Central locking actuator seems to block access. 030
Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 5hBig fan of this shape of Corolla liftback. My dad used to have one when I was a kid, so it goes without saying! This one seems to be in really neat condition. 060
Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 27/09/2026These used to top the sales charts here for a few years and now you’d be lucky to spot one once in a blue moon. Happy to see this one still going! 1265

Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I did a quick hit and run piece on the ID.Polo yesterday as there was a pop-up demo event in town. I came back impressed, but what I’d really like to sample is the 37kWh 115hp base car that’s available for the price that’s stickered on the door of this 52kWh, 210hp car. 2110
Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I'm usually not huge on replicas but this is a less rusty red Polo with bolt-on parts from a real Harlekin. Since 6N Polos rust severely, re-creating the car with a less rusty basis makes complete sense. It's something between not-real and real. www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/po...kleinanzeigen.dePOLO 6N HARLEKIN NACHBAU/WENIG KMHiermit verkaufe ich meinen Polo 6N Harlekin Nachbau aus dem Jahr 1999.

Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Got a call during my workday and my supervising teacher told me I had completed all necessary courses and amassed enough study credits to graduate this month, meaning my forestry studies are done. I celebrated by going to a yurt sauna and swimming in a freezing lake. One with the nature, you know. 2170

Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Since I returned my orange Peugeot last month, another orange Peugeot has caught my eye. It’s a 100,000km 206 CC for sale locally, and initially it was advertised with the roof occasionally acting up, for 2650. Guy blamed a microswitch, but he seems to have fixed it as he soon doubled the price. 1213
Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Imagine what life's like when you have a Lada Samara with blank switches on the dashboard. This is the Finnish-built Eurosamara/Samara Baltic, from the Valmet factory, with a swoopy dash top glued over the regular VAZ-2108 dash. 7446
Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 08/09/2026You might remember I returned my leased EV a month ago 280

Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Listened to New Gold Dream by Simple Minds today and noted how much like a Chinese EV the song name sounds like, especially since I was being followed by a BYD right at that moment. New Gold Dream (81 kWh, 82kWh, 83kWh, 84kWh) 020

Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 30/08/2026I think this Lada 1200 embodies what I consider "good patina". It's been with the same owner from 1972 to 2025, it shows surface rust absolutely everywhere, but it's also well oiled and solid. Any restoration work on it would completely ruin the look and provenance. www.nettiauto.com/en/lada/1200... 2221
Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Today’s second hand record haul. I’ve started buying CDs again. 120
Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Tiidas in metallic bronze really are my forbidden pleasure. I could absolutely see myself driving one, despite its less than stellar powertrain, but it would have to be a sedan. 140
Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Gotta say the dent on this doesn’t really jump at you in the auction pics, compared to bright daylight. I audibly blurted out ”Voi vittu” when I saw the car in person huutokaupat.com/en/kohde/650... 090
Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Surely one of the rarest cars I’ve seen in town, a Mazda 929 wagon. 5574

Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 16/08/2026As I returned our Peugeot e-2008 earlier this month, our five-year stint of driving around in leased EVs came to an end. The first one was the Hyundai Ioniq 38kWh I brought home in Sep ’21. It’s been easy! There’s something to be said about driving new, warrantied cars that don’t need fuel to run. 030

Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Ray of Light remains one of my absolute favorite albums and it just sounds so super 1999.

Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 06/08/2026This is fascinating: look at this very early, two-owner, 100k km Lada Samara 1300 five-speed from 1987. Very well kept, it's likely to be as old as surviving Samaras can be. Everything about it is launch spec, and to me it looks great, including the beige cabin. www.nettiauto.com/en/lada/sama... 1192
Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Cool CX, perhaps not in best possible shape, but a Turbo all the same 0101
Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Back at work after our big tour of Estonia. Lake Peipus (the largest trans-boundary lake in Europe), Tartu university town, Võrumaa, Setomaa, the Valga/Valka Estonian/Latvian border town, and finally a few days at the beach in Pärnu. Great country, good roads, really nice food, excellent weather. 280
Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 02/08/2026I won’t bore you with the old spiel about driving a thirsty car forever vs replacing it with an EV, but these cars parked next to each other really stopped me in my tracks. Despite its freshness, tech and packaging, the EX30 can never match the old V70 in integrity, longevity, ergonomics or style. 3170
