This may turn out to be one of the most photographed cars on the Internet, like the Roupell Street Citroens, but I don’t think I’ve seen it before. Whoever owns it and presumably daily drives it in Clerkenwell, you, madam or sir, are a hero #weirdcarBS #spotted

What’s your sign?
A national speed limit sign next to a massive tree in the middle of a field with a bike leaning against it - you couldn’t do 6mph there let alone 60

Rach's new-to-us Fiat 500C has an ancient TomTom installation which I'm trying to resurrect. After a few hours of playing about with different cables I've got it talking to the PC and I was amused to see its name. Never change, Fiat, never change 😂

Enjoyable to see @samuelmarclowe.bsky.social at the SMMT. It’s always good when two panellists disagree on pretty much everything 😆 (amicably of course).

I have been lost in an old copy of Autosport from 1956 which my mum dug out from somewhere. I feel it is only proper that @actualnames.bsky.social should be informed of the following:

MR2 mk3. The front boot is taken up with a spare wheel and a load of plastic trim. The rear boot is inconveniently taken up with an engine. The only storage space is behind the seats, and it’s stupidly shaped. So if you want to travel anywhere you need to do this…

I’ve just got a pug puppy and he doesn’t do any analysis like this so far. Does it come with training or did I get a duff one?

Don’t know if this is excluded due to minority Mobil sponsorship, but it’s predominantly sin-free. Because as we know, computers have never led to anything bad

I’m going to say something that would have been unthinkable ten years ago. Hyundai are the brand making the most “want one of those” cars at the moment. They just need a word with their naming team. You can’t go around calling cars “Insteroid” lads. #weirdcarbs

Possibly the nicest E36 I’ve ever seen at Caffeine and Machine. Motorsport LE with striped Vaders. Some legend has driven it over from Ukraine.

Loving this game. I humbly submit 2006 DaimlerChrysler. Yes, a Brabus Unimog counts as a pickup, as long as what you are picking up is a whole tree

Went to see a very rare car today, a Sapphire Blue FN2. It was about 20% worse than advertised. Enough to put me off. All the niggles could be put right, but it would be a £7k FN2 and I don’t know if that is value. #weirdcarbs

We stripped the wallpaper in our new house and found what I presume was the previous decorator celebrating coming out. Good on them. Shame they did such a dreadful job with the wallpaper mind

1. The paintwork 2. The puff of blue on cold startup 3. The fact it’s not an FK2 Civic Type R

Mk2 Honda CRX. Ideally a Japanese import VTEC version. This one belongs to my mate Edd and it is just fantastic.

My beautiful, late model E30 318i Touring was stolen on Christmas Day 2008. Apparently they wanted to use it as a getaway vehicle. It was abandoned after they discovered it had about 75hp and overheated. Police impounded it. Wanted £500 fee to return it, I couldn’t afford. Never saw it again. 😞

This is Bert. The pigeons have started to troll him by facing the other way. Then they shit on our decking. Bert doesn’t mind. He’s a moron.
