A line in an old Finnish review: ”The 500E is likely to be the most hand-built of any recent German vehicles. Except maybe for the Trabant.”

Corolla made it 500km home and the hubs don’t get hot anymore. Celebrated with an Ikea lunch.

If the Clio Williams wasn’t parked near, this would have been the coolest car on the street. Teardrops, blende, quad headlights.

Honestly quite an incredible sight on a quiet residential street. It’s sat for quite a while, and I hope it won’t be there for the entire coming winter. Yet it’s still so cool. #weirdcarbs

”The Hipster is the 800kg, sub-£15k electric car you will continue waiting for because it’s a concept and not yet production viable” is a bit long for a headline it seems

Today’s weird carbs. Not a Variomatic though.

Took pics of it on a grocery run with the kid. ”It’s a Volvo but made in Holland instead of Sweden and these used to have rubber band gearboxes. If the band snapped the car wouldn’t go. Believe you me”

”… I don’t believe you.”

”Hold on, I don’t think these are glass.” The CLK needed some quick and dirty headlight refurbishment.

I test drove a dealer demo MX-30 in the same colour and the bonnet was already significantly marked. The paint on our Peugeot isn’t what I’d call good but after two years there are no stone chips on the front.

Belloq: Look at this RWD hatchback. It's worthless - a couple hundred from a vendor in the street. But I take it, I put it in storage for 40 years, it becomes priceless... like the Ark. Men will kill for it. Men like you and me.

Indiana Jones: Let’s go buy one together. I got nothing better to do.
