Me, too!

Looks quite picturesque. For Thurrock. (My neck of the woods-ish.)

So, the compromised #LinkedIn saga continues. Account hacked in December, reinstated, now possibly hacked again. Persona ID verification needed to reinstate DOES NOT WORK and I don't know how many times I keep telling LinkedIn this, but I keep getting directed to use it. I'm losing the will to live.

And in later forms, as here, with a Mk1 Skoda Fabia dash, Lupo GTI ‘Bathurst’ alloy wheels and a Lupo 3L TDI steering wheel! Nice. #VW #Volkswagen

I did have one! Several moons ago now… #Austin #Princess

Leave him as he is! He’s very smart in his current clothes. #VW #Volkswagen

Don’t see many of those now. Or then. An oddity now, an oddity 25 years ago! #VW #Volkswagen #Golf

Those who know me well will know I love these, and this very Seventies color combination is probably near-perfect. www.broadarrowauctions.com/vehicles/jc2... #Porsche #1970s

1979 Ford Tuareg concept by Ghia

Wasn’t the Tuareg a Ford? Oh, wait… I’ve spelt it wrong, too… 🫢

I need to do similar at some point. Or try and actually *sell* them myself…

I seem to have a problem with buying new cars all the time.

This one can't even be driven on the road 🤣

Nice bit of obscure racing history though.

I rarely ever drive at night, especially on a longer journey such as the office commute, without a dipped rear view mirror now.

Not quite sure what the answer is, but something does need to be done. And quickly.

We’ve all been there!

I never used to use them either, but the weekly (sometimes twice-weekly) commute to Peterborough means I usually leave the house with coffee in hand to help fuel the journey.

But makes no sense in the A290’s case to replace something ‘useful’, with something that already works in other formats.

I saw! I thought, ‘that name looks familiar!’ Good work. Although it shouldn’t be needed in the first place, but heritage and brand style takes precedence over common sense…

I shared the same thought as Cropley when I used to drive EVs regularly. But… they kind of set me up for getting the best out of the BlueGT. The longer you can ease off, the more often the engine shuts down, therefore improving economy. It’s like a game to keep it the two-cylinder zone. #VWPolo #EV

A-ha! I did briefly look and thought it wasn’t! Well-spotted. #Toyota

And that’s what it’s all about, inspiration for someone else. Not had the too much real-car-collecting-can’t-keep-everything thing in 35 years of driving but only because I don’t drive one car enough…

I bet you’re sad to see it go, though. Been associated with you for a long time! #Peugeot

2016 Toyota ProBox at Rustival 2025

#Rustival was the first time I’d seen one, too. And I felt the same. Quite an interesting thing. #Toyota

It'll make it easy. Just might take a bit longer. I took EV02 BEV down to Goodwood from Essex when I had it. Took a few stops to charge, but I wasn't in a rush… (And must have that quick chat about your musings!) #Honda #EV #HondaE

I wouldn’t do business with anyone spelling motor ‘mota’…
