Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 04/10/2026The Bertone Stratos Zero is still one of my favourite shapes. And this model of it is a delight. 0121
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 02/10/2026The very one! I have the black panels, too. Might get some more. 110
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Snakes on a Plane? Here's (a) Smart on a Train. 130
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Looks like a Great Dane on a Spaniel's chassis. 140
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Your occasional update on the legendary Twickenham Renault 5. It's still hanging on in there, gawd bless it. 2283
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Proto-Pacer! I can feel the lurching from here! 010
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Alas, no loco in attendance. I'm at the Chappel and Wakes Colne Beer Festival (East Anglian Railway Museum), and it's tremendous. 011
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Haha, I was there for that very occasion. They open the Mk2 up for additional seating. And it's lovely. 010
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Ride-wise, the Class 720s are ok, but the 745s feel like they've been tuned on the Nurburgring. 000
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 13/09/2026"Eleven minutes late, defective junction box, New Malden." 031
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 13/09/2026If it had at-seat phone charging, the 1960s BR Mk2 coach would be pretty much the perfect rail conveyance even today. 6161
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Why "Guess the car?" Is it not "Identify the car?" Late E83 BMW X3 010
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I can imagine the auto feeling absolutely crippled compared with the manual 010
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I feel bad for everybody born too late to experience this era 2233
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 09/09/2026You're right. It inevitably corrupts the original. 110
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Absolutely. I can only go so far with markers, and putting the ideas down on paper is a higher priority than making it look glossy. 010
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 08/09/2026So, I'm not keen on too much AI, but I just fed a rendering of a fantasy coach I made back in 2002 into Gemini, and I kind of love what it made of it. 141
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Hoped this was a Rover tuning book. Turned out to be about calorie control. 040
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Love that there's a 50 year-old Forward Control Land Rover at the heart of this behemoth 052
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I could never be a car designer these days. I'd want my interiors to have something in them. 310
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Slightly unfortunate slogan for the Astra GTE, given its theft record... 3120
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Yep. Just long enough to disconnect me from the office server. 110
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 04/08/2026I know "because racecar", but could also be "because broken" 120
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Spotted these little guys under the back of an Ineos Grenadier and now they live in my brain 6222
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Very correct opinion. As seen on the C208 CLK in Biggy's Sky's The Limit video. 010
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 24/07/2026It is unlawful to not post an Audi A2 when you see one 6917
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Does seem ironic, given the strength of Tesla's driver-assistance tech, that so many are driven by tailgating morons. 130
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Wandering down Old Broad Street, and noticed "oh, that's not there any more" 010
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 15/07/2026It does. Real pity. Also the headlights are too big and the overhang too heavy. Squint, though, and it's alright! 010
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Wouldn't mind betting it was a health and safety decision. 140
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 14/07/2026I finally own a 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz (.... in 1/18 scale, by Maisto). I've actually fancied one of these since I first saw them in the Florida Mall in 1993 (I was 12). The model isn't particularly high fidelity by today's standards, but it still holds up pretty well. 1171
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 14/07/2026It's never too hot to drive a black car with black leather and inop A/C... ... if it has a V8. 0130
Reposted by Chris HainingAntony Ingram @antonyingram.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Don't believe in heaven and all that stuff, but whenever I see a "Christian" being awful I always think how funny it'd be if they get to the pearly gates and St. Peter says "nope, God tells me you were a cunt" and boots them down to hell. 2667
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Forgive me for boasting, but this new corner of my garden is one of my very proudest achievements 1100
Chris Haining @roadworkuk.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Volkswagen Arteon really is / was handsome, isn't / wasn't it. 3210
