Very cool that the WRC is back on the same island as me next year, shame it’s a trillion miles away!

There’s one about half a mile from my house. It definitely stands out.

Incredible idea from Pizza Hut, spicy and sweet sounds like a match made in heaven. I’m surprised nobody else has thought of ‘hot honey’.

What’s the translation on this?

Pass! My enthusiasm has waned significantly though as can be seen by the embarrassingly low number of miles I’ve done since the last test. Anyone out there looking for a well specced S1? DM me.

Lightly Opening Throttle = Unpleasant Spluttering. Engine Lumpiness Issue Solved Easily.

Like them or don’t, I don’t mind. Either way though, 11 nights at the Etihad is pretty mad. Hopefully this time I can get a ticket.

Cool to see a ‘modern’ drag car rather than the usual 50s/60s/70s fare. (8.8 litre V8!)

Saw this exact bright yellow Silvia Varietta on the way to work today. Definitely not my favourite flavour of S15 but cool to see all the same.

Local Premier shop. They often have weird stuff by the counter, the last thing I bought was a pistachio wafer bar which was excellent.

I can’t read whatever language this is so I didn’t expect white chocolate.

Have you seen the state of this one between the town centre and Sainsbury’s? I’ll grab a picture on the way home if you haven’t.

Bit of a difference between my old broadband connection and the new one!

I also felt like the B8 RS4 was a bit dull. Quick car but a complete non event when you could just mat the throttle off a roundabout and it was immediately at 3 digits. The C7 RS6 from the same era was absolutely mental though.

Mk3 Focus RS. Old place I used to work had one of the first batch in the country in 2009. Reviews had it as a 5 star car, the top of the genre The engine is great but if anything the chassis was too good. It didn’t feel like you’d expect from a 300hp FWD car, it was fast but undramatic.

The second CD I ever bought was this. I’m not admitting to the first.

Apparently, these are ‘good’ watches.

I bought those Brets ones accidentally, expecting normal Piment. It was a bit of a surprise! These are the one for me.

There just seems to be more body above the rear arch where the engine cover/rear glass meet. I guess that’s a consequence of no drip tail and using flush glass maybe? Rear bumper isn’t deep enough either and I really don’t think a smooth front end works either.

Robin Marriott @robinm.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
Is it just me or is this restomod 993 not the right shape? I don’t mean the detail, I mean the top outline of the front wings and the whole rear end is wrong.

This feels like a lot of money for Weezer.

Are you even a car guy if your camera roll isn’t full of pics like this?

Forgot to post this on Saturday but this was the entirety of the car park when I left just after lunch (because I was hungry)

Not sure what’s happened with this event but there’s nobody here and none of the food trucks are open. It’s like a ghost town. This event won’t be on next year.
Parking on the South Bank at Brands Hatch. Normally packed but not today. There’s nobody parked anywhere to the left of the van.All six of the food trucks in shot are closed, only the bar in the main grandstand and the Kentagon are open.

Can someone ask Volvo why they didn’t put this engine in this car?

My flat overlooks a park and there was a guy chanting and clapping his hands for an over hour early this morning. Police were there within 10 minutes. Couldn’t make out what he was shouting about but I think it was something about Jesus, God and scattering fire so that’s cool.

Still this. Over 3 years now which is a record for me. I’ve been considering a change for a while and little faults push me closer to the edge.

Call me a miser but a car show with a dress code puts me reyt off.

Exactly that. Picture of one out of the car for reference

Do I think this is a lot of money for a game because AAA Playstation titles used to be £30-40 when I was younger? Yes. Am I going to buy it at that money regardless? Also yes.

Messaged the seller and that’s what he said. Didn’t want to post pics from a messy yard when ‘track’ ones are more eye catching.

This is a bit of a worry though (M59 RBL looks to be correct)

Ok, that’s me sold. I’ve really got to go one year.
