The interior is quite something! The tampo details are good, too. And all for the price of a standard one, not a Premium… #HotWheels #Porsche

Ooh, the BMWs are lovely. Listening to @motoringpodcast.com this afternoon, I realised that a couple of times I have bought one Hot Wheels to open and one to keep ‘contained’, for now. (I still don’t know why.)

But the most recent was a particularly nice one… #Porsche

MoT and service for the #Polo today. Always nice when the garage calls and said it ‘flew’ through the former. I had my curiosity satisfied and even got a chance to look underneath. Pre-winter cavity wax treatment probably next… #VWPolo #Polo50 #Volkswagen

Would be mine, too! Still love the look of these. Shame I missed it today: sadly another commitment elsewhere.

In May 2009, Sardinia played host to the presentation of the fifth-generation #Polo to the international motoring media. The bright colour palette of the '6R' Polo really popped against the rocky, watery and scenic backdrops. #Polo50 #VWPolo #Volkswagen

Sardinia has proved to be a favourite #Polo press presentation venue. The #Audi 50 set the ball rolling, presented to international journalists on the Italian island in September 1974, just weeks before the car's public launch later that year. #Polo50 #VWPolo

MkIV #Volkswagen Golf lights on a #Ford Escort? 😱 (Actually, kudos.)

With the all recent activity around the forthcoming all-electric #IDPolo and #IDPoloGTI, 44 years ago the MkII Polo enjoyed its debut in September 1981. It was presented to the international press the month before in Sardinia. #Polo (Photos: eBay – www.ebay.co.uk/itm/27732038...)

Saying that, I don’t think the UK actually got the first ‘6N’ model iteration and had to wait for the ‘6N2’. Saw one recently: all the same features as the earlier cars but with unique 15-inch ‘Interlagos’ alloys. Looked very smart. Hard to believe they’re 25 years old now. #Polo #Polo50 #VWPolo

The UK never got the Polo Estate Colour Concept, though, which was quite the statement, especially in green. #Polo #Polo50 #VWPolo

Polos are the only other model I know of. Introduced in the late 1990s, taking cues from the Golf Colour Concept. Solitude 14-inch alloys, choice of five exterior colours with matching leather upholstery, ‘sports’ bumpers from the GLX. polodriver.com/heritage/ser... #Polo #VWPolo #Polo50

I’d highly recommend FreeAgent. Both me and my other half used/use it. It’s easy to understand, use, and just makes all the accounting stuff much easier. We still have an accountant, though.

Trying to source cars for a shoot next Wednesday - it's in Peterborough, for the cover of Practical Classics.

They've asked for a BMW 635CSI or M6 (E24) and a Jaguar XJC.

Can anyone help?

Yes, they were quite hard to spot, but it would have been a bit ahead of the game if you see what’s happening now… #EV #electricvehicle #Renault

PoloDriver @polodrivercom.bsky.social · 19d

On a more modest note, some more random #Paris car spots, including a four-door #Fiat 500e sold in selected lhd markets; a MkI #Audi A1 with bodykit (no Citycarver badge); and an electric #Renault Twingo ZE. Oh, and a not quite so modest #AstonMartin Vanquish.

…or does sir prefer a #Ferrai, #Lamborghini, or #Pagani instead? #supercar #Paris

Supercar-spotting in #Paris: not my usual type of car, but then again, you do very rarely see a clutch of #Bugatti Chirons… #supercar

Ew, lovely. I hope it was dead. Quite an impressive feat! Sometimes having an indoor cat pays… though not when it’s roasting and you can’t fully open any windows or patio doors!

I hope the weather has been nice. Not even an invitation for me this year! Have fun, all.
