Nostalgy algae: This 1993 #Rover 214 Si is literally wasting away on the driveway (and has been sat here since I moved into the neighbourhood). I worry its ‘Spec-D’ classification isn’t far off… And feel compelled to tag @sniffpetrol.com about it.
Properly shocked.
Genuinely saddened.
Gone too soon.
RIP Quentin.
Well this is only a humble 2.0 Veloce with a stock 270bhp. Post remap (inc. gearbox) it’s up to about 320bhp which is plenty enough for most days! Feels sharper and a lot more response now and I find myself using dynamic (sport) mode a lot more. Basically, a lot more fun!
Saddle up! My #AlfaRomeo Giulia now has more horses under the hood… Remap (and annual service) courtesy of AHM in Hants.
Brilliant 😏 Dutch automotive site Autoweek displays a #Peugeot 404 for a page is not found 🤓 www.autoweek.nl/error-404/
C’est l’été ! And the #Fiat Topolino brings a smile to everyone’s face (or look of “WTF” – I’ll let you be the judge). Unlike the #Citroen Ami it’s based on, you can buy this without doors – an ‘open air’ version with just rope either side (tho that’s probably another reason not to buy one for most)
Austin-Healey 100M making for a quintessential English scene… But this spot is from the car park of Intermarché in Prayssac, southwestern France… So shame its not a Citroën DS Bossaert instead.
Tell me you’re in France without telling me you’re in Fra… Actually, this is British car (in case you’d not clocked the number plate). Driven all the way from Southampton and en route to Toulouse (where it originally came from). A long way to go in a 1974 #Citroen Ami 8 Break!
Not everything unexceptional managed to make it to #fotu this weekend! This #Rover Metro has been sitting on a forecourt near me for years now…
Loving the highly casual approach to selling a much loved motor 😏 Sadly, I just can’t justify it right now (even with some highly motivated man maths) but that changes any time soon, I’ll be sure to let you know. Out of interest, whereabouts are you based? Just in case I wanted a test drive 🫢
Yeah, otherwise we would be into a full resto for painted metal that’s not on show… Oh, and I love the silver colour!
So much so, that I’d like a 916 in silver too – is yours still for sale?
OMG what am I saying! My missus would go nuts if I showed up with another Alfa 🤪
Just a respray. But glass out, trim off and some rust to sort. Oh, new boot lid and a couple of mods too… Including front bumperettes from Alfaholics 😎
And this is the state it’s in now…!
Had this 10 years…
Thanks @sniffpetrol.com 🤠 Made my morning hearing my letter read out on the latest episode of #SmithandSniff.
Although the Raleigh Strika story still brings tears to my eyes (due more to testicular torsion than any reminiscing) 😣 You can listen to the episode below www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnAP...
Yeah, 704cc unit – I had to look that up but then realised the biggest giveaway was the hatchback I saw the owner open while on the forecourt.
Who said range anxiety is a new thing? Filling up this #Fiat 126 is gonna cost you less than 30 quid but only give you (max) 250 miles out of a full tank. Still, in this little thing, those miles are gonna provide plenty of smiles!
Saw one of those electric I-PACE toda…
OOH A PEUGEOT 205 GTI !
😎
Always check the car park. Something everyone at #Goodwood will be telling you, but it also applies to grotty industrials estates in deepest Surrey… And here’s proof: 1979 #Ferrari GT4. Definitely a design that has got better with age.

Never understood why the second gen #Honda NSX wasn’t more popular – just look at it! Certainly gets my vote, especially since the frontend doesn’t make allowances for a number plate…
How does the reality of owning a luxury car match the dream? A new McKinsey survey sheds light on buyers’ priorities, current experiences, and future expectations. How I wasn’t interviewed for this I don’t know…!

My company 😎 We just rebranded and joined Bluesky 🤠 Give us a follow 🤓 There may even be some car content…
Probably not the last word on the #Jaguar rebrand but agree with the comments made on how right #Renault have got it…

It began with the British Grand Prix at Silverstone on 13 May, watched by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, and won by Italian Giuseppe Farina. The rest as they say, is history #F175 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/extra/...
For sale if ya interested… Altho it’s a facelift model so has the (IMO) less desirable frontend and lights:

OMG A HONDA NSX !!
