Borrowing a TR7 from Borrow a Classic.

Hot, looks ace.

My wife is on my phone wallpaper and there were words when I replaced her with the TR7.

The middle kid started his 2 week work experience in The British Motor Museum workshop yesterday. His project, stripping an old prototype engine, painting it up and making a stand so it can go out in the collection.

Any ideas of the motor, the museum isn't sure!

“Come and take a picture with me so I can send it to my Mum”

I’m currently in the dog house 😂😆

Nope, double posters need to be called out. Just get off the platform. Platform only works when people use it.

Not car related sadly

My 15 year old just shared his code brown event during his sim race on Nürburgring.

What a save! I'd have been in the barriers in a smoky crumpled heap.

I may or may not have used the fun stick with the TR7 yesterday.

I'm very sad my daily driver now has a stupid switch rather than a fun stick.

The Cavalier was excellent #WeirdCarBS fodder. That's a GLS V6 Automatic and according to the owner the only one still registered, he's the 2nd owner and he bought it for £850 10 years ago from the original selling dealer.

The Fiesta Popular was the guy's 1st car when he was 17, he's restored it

Excellent winter car show today in Banbury. Nice sunny frosty day for it, challenging taking picture conditions, needed more skill or right sun position (probably both)

My wife just caught me looking at a barn find TR7 on ebay and gave me "the look". It isn't a good look, so I've closed the tab.

Strong money for a non-runner, but no sunroof is rare. Seems to have been resprayed at some point, flashes of yellow in engine bay.

Loved the saloon Nova, wheels were perfect. My mate had an auto nova saloon as his first car, which was a rare beast in the late 90s!

I wasn't the only TR7 for a change, nor the only TR Register member.

Lovely TR4a from the TR Register.

Excellent eclectic mix of cars at Brackley classic car show this morning. Plenty of #WeirdCarBS fodder too.

I have a hankering for doing something like this one year. This seems great value for a new car and a season of racing.

I really shouldn't pass judgment based on one headline, but I wasn't hopeful when I saw this review.

But if the rotten tomatoes score is that high, what is this reviewer smoking??

Tractor run time of the year. Tractor of the evening the excellent Unimog!

No pantos in this house of geeks.

For us it’s the Oxford Uni Christmas lectures.

A quantum Christmas to everyone.

Boy2 took this on Saturday, as I had no bloody clue what it was.

Turns out it is a KGM Torres?

I thought it was some special US only Kia or something, and was expecting to be asking @ajpbradley.bsky.social to provide an ID. (We're near a US base)
