Here's a thread of the pictures I took at #Rustival 5. Not so many photos taken this time, mostly because there was so much chatting. #WeirdCarBS

After the wonderful madness of Rustival yesterday, a slightly quieter meet today with the Lincolnshire Rover Club and Rover Sports Register in Grantham. #WeirdCarBS

More brown car spotting in the work car park today. This time, a #Ford Ka+ Active. #WeirdCarBS

I think this #Renault 8 Gordini concept is pretty cool, sadly not destined for production it seems. #WeirdCarBS

Rob Adcock @robadcock.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

The new #Nissan Pixo was revealed today. Very much based on the #Renault Twingo. I'll let you draw your own conclusions!

A brown #Vauxhall Agila deserves a post on Bluesky. #WeirdCarBS

Had a wander around the Italian car show at Grimsthorpe Castle today. Was quite taken by those #Fiat 500 Riva with its wooden interior. #WeirdCarBS

Very much a sign of the times that there is a press release to tell us a car is available with a manual gearbox.

Flight of the Navigator was released in the UK 40 years ago today. So that's our Saturday evening entertainment sorted.

Today we went to On Your Marques, a small Lincolnshire museum that houses an incredible collection of model cars. The museum has a sad story, with the owner now too ill to run it. The family decided to open it this weekend for one final time to raise money for dementia charities. #WeirdCarBS

Whenever I go to the British Motor Museum, there always seems to be a car I've never seen before. This #Daimler XJS is part of the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust. Look at the roof line, C-pillar, and rear window. Very different to a standard XJS. #WeirdCarBS

Take a moment to admire some retro British Telecom goodness. #WeirdCarBS

Another one of MG Rover's "could have beens" currently on display at the British Motor Museum - the #Rover 75 Coupé concept, built to celebrate the company's centenary. It now belongs to a private individual and is on loan to the museum. #WeirdCarBS

Let's end the week with the last of my pictures from last weekend's air-cooled show. This #Fiat 500 was very cute. #WeirdCarBS

Rob Adcock @robadcock.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Continuing our air-cooled adventure, here's a lovely #Chevrolet Corvair. It had Corsa badging on the side, is that a trim level? My American car knowledge is hopeless. #WeirdCarBS

I should have posted this yesterday for a #Tatra Tuesday, but doesn't this 1938 T97 look fantastic. #WeirdCarBS

Rob Adcock @robadcock.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

A sporty #Peugeot 106 getting some TLC at work today.

Rob Adcock @robadcock.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Another air-cooled curiosity. This time an #Olcit. A Citroen design that Peugeot wouldn't let them build, so it somehow ended up in Romania. #WeirdCarBS

Rob Adcock @robadcock.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

A car I did not expect to see at an air-cooled car show, was a #Honda, mostly because I didn't know it existed. The 1300 was the biggest car Honda had made up to that point, and it does indeed have an air-cooled engine. #WeirdCarBS

Rob Adcock @robadcock.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Would you like many photos of air-cooled vehicles from today's show at the British Motor Museum? Of course you would 😊 I'll start with a thread of the VWs, but there are some interesting other cars there. 🧵1/9 #WeirdCarBS #Volkswagen

Went to a lovely wedding reception last night, the bride and groom are clearly people of good taste. #WeirdCarBS

If someone asked me to choose between these two, it would be a very hard choice. Both 2-litre turbos, one Coupé and one Fastback. #Rover #WeirdCarBS

Rob Adcock @robadcock.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Had a lovely time at the Maxey Car Show today. Spent too much time socialising and enjoying the show, so I only took a single photo. But it was of a pair of DAFs, so could be worse. #WeirdCarBS

Rob Adcock @robadcock.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

It's the Maxey Car Show this weekend, if any East Anglia/East Midlands car folk are without plans on Saturday. Quite a nice local show, at least it has been for the last couple of years. www.maxeyclassiccarandbikeshow.com #WeirdCarBS

This is the best I could do, courtesy of a welding mask, so it's still car-related content 😂 #Eclipse #WeirdCarBS

Breakfast with a view and a shop with a Moke full of cushions in #Rutland today.

#Renault Twingo and R4 Plein Sud together in the showroom (which is currently undergoing a renovation and is therefore slightly chaotic).

Rob Adcock @robadcock.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

Time for some #FoTU 2026 photos then. As always, an amazing array of cars. As always, impossible to see and photograph them all. 🧵 1/13 #WeirdCarBS

Rob Adcock @robadcock.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

A wonderful but exhausting day at #FoTU, so obviously we're now driving to Cambridge 💤 I took many photos, I need to decide whether to post them or not, but for now here's the #Rover SD1 Estate courtesy of the British Motor Museum. Great to see it outside in the sunshine. #WeirdCarBS

Rob Adcock @robadcock.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

The #Renault Twingo looks just as good in real life as in the photos. #WeirdCarBS

Rob Adcock @robadcock.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

The Rover's had its pre #FoTU wash, which is less fun when you can't use hoses or pressure washers. #WeirdCarBS

Let's start the weekend with some hot hatches from the Spoiler Alert exhibition at the British Motor Museum. Which would you be taking for a spin? Option 1: #Ford XR3 🧵 1/5

I've finally sorted through my photos from the BMC and Leyland Show last weekend. I hope you're ready for an epic photo dump! No prizes for getting through them all, but there probably should be. 🏆 🧵 1/22 #WeirdCarBS

Rob Adcock @robadcock.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

I forgot to post this on Sunday. Spotted this magnificent #Mercedes 300SEL 6.3 in Stamford on our way back from the British Motor Museum. Not really #WeirdCarBS, but I'm using the hashtag anyway.

Rob Adcock @robadcock.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Spent today at the BMC and Leyland show at the British Motor Museum. I have many photos that I need to sort through! However, this was an exhibit I don't remember seeing before. An MG prototype looking very much like an Alfa Romeo Spider. Probably due to Pinninfarina's influence. #WeirdCarBS

Rob Adcock @robadcock.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

Not at all surprising considering how hot and dry it is. Dirty cars at car shows for the rest of the summer anyone?

Rob Adcock @robadcock.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

Spotted at work yesterday, this rather nice #Saab 9000. #WeirdCarBS

We had a fantastic day at East Kirkby yesterday. Many many Rovers, but lots of other interesting cars too. Here are some of my favourites. 🧵1/3 #WeirdCarBS

Thanks to some investigations by @thealso.bsky.social, it was discovered at the weekend that the boot light on this Chinese #MG 6 does in fact feature the Austin Rover logo. The last vestiges of British Leyland et al. really did refuse to die. #WeirdCarBS

Rob Adcock @robadcock.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

Just a reminder that if you're in the #Lincolnshire area, or fancy a road trip, the East Kirkby Classic Car Show & #Rover Rally is this Saturday. The weather's looking great, and it's only £15 per classic car to enter. It would be great to see some of you there. Gates open at 9:30am. #WeirdCarBS
