The way the paragraphs are spaced out, the one-word sentences, the contrived contrast (it wasn’t this. It was that), so on. It basically just needs a ”Honestly? That’s brave” tacked on at the end to read like a machine written LinkedIn post.

Why did they have ChatGPT write the blurb for the Impossible Panel? Was it impossible to have a writer do it?

It is. Jag builds a heavy looking EV sedan that does 0-60mph in three seconds and charges at 350kW Comments: is it because of woke

The plates are correct for Finland 1989/1990, so it’s more likely to have been self-facelifted with imported parts and eBay tail lights!

Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Could be the latest model 505 I’ve seen in Finnish plates. Registered new in early 1990 but French sedan production ended already in 1989.

They once showed it on TV here and I sat through it for the same reason

Oh yeah, good call. Great movie!

Would the circa 1992 Jurassic Park touchscreens have been the same or movie magic?

I got out of the trunk by removing the actuator so there’s enough room to manually pop it open from the latch. Maybe the cable has stretched.

Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Greetings 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.

No, they still make them (EVs, that is)

Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Big 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.

A friend in Germany has a 106 Kid with the 45.5 PS one-liter engine. It’s got the denim seats and it cost under a thousand earlier in the summer.

These 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!

Imagine if the second-gen Legend was also Roverized, instead of just the first.

Much like some of the smoother music of the era, haha

I really love the way these look, especially in the orange signature colour. I should daily one.

Haha, I don’t mind that at all!

The same demo car is also here at a home expo, parked next to an Inster for scale. Would love to drive both back to back.

Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I 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.

Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Since our EVs were mileage capped leases, I already learned then to leave out unnecessary driving. Now even more so, and as my current office is near the kindergarten, it makes more sense to stay in town all day instead of coming home to WFH. I still haven’t taken my Miata on the road this summer.

Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I had to scroll very far to find this

Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I'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...

Got 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.

Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

And if you put fuel in it and it has a tailpipe, it’s not an EV.

Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Of course, like a 205, 306 or 405, the 206 will also have the torsion bar rear axle eventually go wrong and a TU engine can have a head gasket as a treat

Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

If you look at this clip, the switches seem really simple and they just tell the control unit whether the roof can be lowered or not. The PSA cars I’ve had from that era only really have had airbag warning lights due to bad wiring, the drivetrains and bodies have been fine. youtu.be/6q4WWnzGuD8?...

Tattiness aside, that custom two-tone leather interior looks really great.

I didn't know Gandini did the Subaru Legacy too www.nettiauto.com/en/subaru/le...

It has a bunch of micro switches that can be a bit of a faff, including the ones for the boot divider.

Guy’s probably just fed up with trying to shift it, especially as it was already ”reserved” once and the sale fell through according to the latest ad.

110

Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Yeah! It’s now priced like a nice, 100,000km regular 206 would be, dent or no dent, but what I’d much rather get would be the 206 SW wagon, especially in a similar colour with orange seats and lower dash… Would be interesting to see if a PDR job would save that door, though

010

Antti Kautonen @julkinen.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

But that’s not all! I spotted it from afar last week and thought ”Is that a huge dent on the door or just a weird shadow?” It’s a huge dent on the door and as a result, the seller has now dropped the price to 1650. Volatile prices on these…
