The 2CV concept is getting lots of fuss, but the Fiat Multiplay looks much more fun! Cues from the OG 600 Multipla and (in the front light bar) the new one, its a flexible MPV and SUV/pick up thanks to its changable interior and Metamorfosi moving C pillar Will they make it? No. Should they? Yes!

When the Hyundai Ioniq 5 appeared, it looked like it had landed direct from an 80s scifi version of 2021. 5 years on it still looks incredible, and now it could be the EV bargain of the year Link in the comments

Id forgotten this moment when I drove into the Matrix on the way home from 6D Diesels with the Crown Vic, when I passed 'my' W163 Merc ML. Does anyone else get unnessesarily excited when they see a car twin of theirs on the road, that you dont see so much anymore?

The ML had been being useul again. This weekend was a Scout camp so Mrs F took it loaded it up with all the Scout troops tents, food, games and everything thing else. And on the way home all the bin bags of rubbish and recyling. Its a handy old thing!

Masive thanks to the very kind viewers who kindly donated an unwanted battery & bucket jetwasher at Rustival after mine literally fell apart. This badly needed some Diamondbrite Ceramic Snow Foam as it was filthy, & Hippo the Freelander visited and you wont belive how the wheel gime we cleaned off!

While the MX5 is regarded as the spiritual successor to the Elan, and the M100 was the actual replacement, there was a car with an evern greater claim to the crown of the New Elan - the Evante Link in the comments

After 4 1/2 years with me, my C Class is still about the best equipt and all round car Ive had (ignoring the auto box) and Id no plans to change it. BUT with diesel at over £10 a gallon Im seriously looking at options for an EV work car. 1/2

As is often the case, Im browsing ebay looking for that elusive sub £500 Austin 7, and to my mild surprise, someone thought ebay was the ideal place to list their 1936 Bugatti Type 57 Atalante, a snip at £1.8 million. I guess he had no joy on Marketplace? Also only 5 photos and none of the interior

With the raffle draw for the Escort less than an hour away, heres how my good willed attempt to put a fresh MOT on the car for the new owner went... Dont forget, Im donating to Alzheimer's research from the prize fund so every entry is doing good We'll go live at 6 to see the draw

Its the last day of the Escort raffle, this wont be a double Ford drive for much longer, so join me at 6 for a live chat to see who will be the next custodian, and at about 5.30 for a video of some unexpected last minute work!

ML to the rescue! A neighbour's XC90 gearbox went boing in a very terminal way, leaving their large caravan stranded. These old tanks can tow over two and a half tonnes so I loaned him the W163, and it he was able to take the caravan back to storage. Good Merc!

This thing has tried my patience once to often. I think its time to give up and let someone else solve it. Runs perfectly for 30 minutes, then cuts out till its cooled down. I think fuel related

What does a Crown Vic look like with the front wing off? Like a spaghetti nightmare! It was the last rear wheel drive, body on frame car in produciton in Europe or America, and the outer wing is also the inner wing. Why is mine in bits? check out the video!

There are recreations of famous cars, continuation models and tributes, but this pair of 1968 Minis are something more, as both were built at the time by the same people who built the genuine cars, using the same parts! It doesnt make them the real cars, but it comes closer than anything else!

20 years ago London streets were littered with slightly ratty old Mercs, now its a rare sight, so this well used diesel but Petrol Blue Metallic S123 (W123 estate) deserved a stop and smile. I cant tell if its better than mine, but Im cautious enough not to have left a note!

Combined shopping and still trying-to-see-if-its-actually-fixed trip (yes I should have taken the Escort for photos but this is sooo comfy) Anyway, the 75 ran fine, so now I know it’s not broken at *this* moment. 2 miles more and it might have gone, so who knows!
