Less than a week until my little weird car social in a lovely Norfolk country pub. It's going to be a nice group of people, interesting cars and great food so why not come along? #WeirdCarBS

It's #Arachtober so nobody is allowed to be upset about spider pics this month. A very majestic female giant house spider seen today in a hedgehog house. There was a small male in there with her so we quickly left the two lovebirds to it. #Spiders @britishspiders.bsky.social

@5pot4pot.bsky.social cheers again for the apples, pal - I can confirm they have gone to a good cause. Made a batch of 24 apple and cinnamon pies and still have enough filling left frozen for another dozen!

been hesitant to say so lest I jinx it, but we are so back. With a new clutch and 5 fully-functional forward gears, the Mi16 is running better than ever. Daresay it absolutely rips. This is what putting months of blood, sweat and tears into a nearly-worthless 37 year old car is all about.

Something a little different for my Rustival 5 video. I've tried to capture the spirit of the show, the people and the cars in just a few minutes. Allot of me went into this, I hope you enjoy. Thanks and can't wait for the next one. 🥰 youtu.be/OFoCFsug37A

The 106 is Pikachu and the 306 is Raichu. I had to get that thought out of my brain.

More general #Rustival thread with some of my favourite exhibitors: First of all, the absolute JDM oddity "Mitsubishi Debonair Exceed Contega" on the Trans Cars UK stand. Hell yes. #WeirdCarBS

Managed to have a proper poke around, and it's so nice! New alternator and 4 new tyres from the dealer (and she knocked him down to £1700) Those seats are SO plush

If you bring a Jag to #Rustival and you want the seemingly unknown-even-to-experts Jaguar CD collection I found in a charity shop (that may or may not be the correct discs who knows) be the first to flag me the fuck down and you can have it. #WeirdCarBS

Goddamn, why has my insurance renewal literally halved?? Not that I'm complaining, I just wasn't expecting that. #WeirdCarBS
A snippet of the renewal email I received for the car insurance on my 306. It reads:

Your renewal offer: £14.38 per month
Initial payment: £14.38
11 monthly instalments of £14.38
Total to pay: £172.56
Last year's total: £345.32

A colleague has just passed her test and was looking for something cheap and automatic for her first car. Naturally, I found something oddball and French and she's viewing it tomorrow 🤣 68k miles and clearly garaged, MOT history is clean as a whistle #WeirdCarBS
