The 993 is my favourite Porsche 911. Here’s 3 no name, made in China, examples. The road car and the race number 24 Carrera Cup are the same casting, the race number 36 with interesting sponsorship is a cruder, but characterful rendition.

Full Paolo Nutini spec in the footwear today. First time I’ve had shoes with apple as one of the materials. Let’s see how long they remain new looking…

Well done Citroën on securing the £3,750 UK Govt grant for the eC5 Aircross long range.
Big grey SUVs continue to be the nation’s favourite, so if electric ones can be sold cheaper that’s at least one positive.

One of the best Hotwheels models of recent years; Porsche (904) Carrera GTS, the mid-engined race car of 1964.

Would you be interested in a collection of BL brochures, predominately 1970s? Large box full. Collect from Yorkshire. Let me know if so.
Illustrated a small selection.

Not really in the spirit of debuts, but this was Jack’s first solo release. For me, better albums have followed but it was still good enough to sit next to The White Stripes’ output.

This 1925 Wolseley 11/22 will be at the Classic Motor Show at the NEC this weekend. I have other commitments in Aberdeen so won’t be there. If you are going, please check out the Wolseley Register stand and wish Rupert a happy 100th (although that was in February).

Not seen this shown yet, and whilst it was nothing new, it was the best Oasis album since Heathen Chemistry. A thoroughly enjoyable record.

Lledo VW Type 2 Kombi, circa 1:50 scale, in one of the many liveries produced. This one is part of a series of models with tenuous associations to the Carry On films. Thought I’d feature this week as it’s 37 years since Charles Hawtrey’s passing.

Gu’s news… although my car has been mechanically perfect over the Summer, he has been bodily… well, not entirely complete. Unobtainium part located in San Francisco, kindly delivered to Heathrow for me and now firmly resprayed and fixed in place. Whole again… for now 😃

Haven’t seen this mentioned yet on #5debutalbums8084 It’s an important one to me as it was my sister’s favourite record. Will it scrape my 5? There’s very strong competition, but it’s not impossible.

Two versions of the Corgi Porsche 911SC Targa today. An infinitely better rendition of a Porsche than their previous 911 Carrera (which was mostly offered in police liveries). This has a turbo style tea tray rear spoiler.

Spent a week in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. It has much to offer, but sadly slim pickings on the #weirdcarbs front. I did see a Zaporozhets but it was down a driveway and it was after sunset, so no picture I’m afraid. Here’s a Toyota and a VW, admittedly not that exciting.

You’d love Plovdiv, Bulgaria. I’ve been here the last few days for a friend’s wedding. There are cats everywhere. I’m convinced they run the place. Every museum has at least one kicking about, most shops seem to have one hanging around the front door. Whilst here I was sporting my new T-shirt.

There’s a cheaper Chinese EV hypercar getting the limelight at the moment, but for me the Croatian OG is still the best.

This S-Type is particularly quiet and smooth as it has a Nissan LEAF’s heart.
Not everyone’s cup of tea, but it seems to work really well.
