#weirdcarbs

Not your average Porsche.

I bet you're sick of seeing it by now but I DON'T CARE (First time it's ever been simultaneously clean and mended 😁)

Had a lovely time at the Maxey Car Show today. Spent too much time socialising and enjoying the show, so I only took a single photo. But it was of a pair of DAFs, so could be worse.

AutoDoc is very aptly named, as much like booking an appointment at your local practice, the lead time is so long that you'll likely fix the issue in the meantime 😁 Ah well, good to have spares ready to go if needed!

When you have a type…

Penelope the Herald had classic company in the Aldi car park earlier.

Brief stop in at Caffeine and Machine today for the #Daikoku event. Some lovely metal as always including this tidy Civic Type-R

Two photos of a lovely little, early model, Suzuki Jimny. First pic is when I saw it near the Keihin Canal, in our neighbourhood. Second pic was when I was out having a walk around Ebaramachi and Hatanodai - a good few kms away from us - and found it in its home.

On my way over to Mallory Park to see Tony going sideways in the Viper at the VSCC race meeting today 😀 "An 111-year-old car with twice its original cylinder count, and (conservatively) 3.5x more power..." 😆 www.classicandsportscar.com/features/vau... (classicandsportscar.com)

#FrenchFriday with a #slidescan all-star. An unknown Woman is getting in or out of her 1958 Simca at a Flying A gas station, circa 1960. The simple color palette and bold shapes make the whole thing look like a Ralph Goings or Robert Cottingham image.

Can’t Camry Dent that which doesn’t exist… smart

Show me your night cockpits I love the warm yellow glow inside the 306, it's very cosy to drive in the dark.

What? ANOTHER completely pointless drive out into the countryside just because I can? It's more likely than you think

#weirdcarbs BEHOLD. Car and Drivers very own Honda CRX^2! The wild two engined project with a front powertrain and rear powertrain!

Charity shop find today! Absolutely no record of this on the internet anywhere - thoughts are that this is a different CD collection shoved into the Jag box. Anyone know? Perhaps some unfortunate soul at #Rustival with a Jag will be getting a tatty gift from me!

Weird Car of the Day #475: 1992 Mazda Suitcase Car – Commuter baggage www.weirdcaroftheday.com/mazda-suitca...

Renault Safrane - CAR magazine 1999 #OldCarGBU Despite the facelift, Renault's big car remains ignored. A capable set of pseudo-exec wheels, but most can't square £20k for a big Renault, if it's not an Espace Our choice: 20V at a pinch, but we wouldn't bother pinching one

Renault Laguna - CAR magazine 1999 #OldCarGBU Renault's impressive 1994 stab at the Mondeo market, and it's done well. Fun to drive, a break from the norm, and new engines have injected sparkle Our choice: RTi 16V is a sleeping sportster. RTi V6 is the cheapest V6 repmobile

The peak of my Ibizan chod spotting this year… a nice and varied selection at least!

Renault Mégane Scénic - CAR magazine 1999 #OldCarGBU Like a scaled-down Espace. Full of clever tricks except under the bonnet. Other makers are avidly copying Our choice: 2.0 RXE nicest. All brilliant. An MPV you don't have to make excuses for. No wonder they're so popular
