Coming soon...

The XC90 behaved well enough at the weekend to record a POV drive. It shall be up for sale soon.

I was fortunate enough to be stablemates with Sweet, Sweet Mr Pink at last years FOTU, and the attention this Yugo garnered was unbelievable. A worthy investment. (Thanks to @indecisiveauto.bsky.social for the screenshot from his video, as I neglected to take many of my own pictures at the event!)

Today just gets weirder...it's only gone and passed 🤔🙈

Off to a good start this morning - MOT test place has lost the keys to the XC90....

So it seems I forgot to post my latest video up on here. The £500 XC90 is broken again...there's a shock. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJQA...

Legally, I never have to do this ever again. Elly's last MOT? I'm telling myself no, because £54 for a professional car inspection is a bargain. Just a sanity check of the underside and brake test make it a bargain.

A little milestone achieved today

New video out today where I fix the XC90...well... briefly anyway 🤣 youtu.be/0k0MrW_dnTg

Tea reverberation is absolutely a method to detect a misfire right? 🤣☕

Dropped an injector on the way back from Cambridge - I'm done, it's going up spares and repairs shortly.

I think it's lying 🤣🙈🤔

Sorry for the radio silence folks - I deliberately switched off a little in the run up to Christmas. It's not my favourite time of year. XC90 is 'fixed' (video on the way for that soon), and I'm about to start a series where I peel crusty paint off a set of Citroen BX alloys I'm hoping to salvage.

And tonight's new headache is....a code that doesn't look up for a D5 Volvo anywhere on the internet and is persistent - marvelous.

For me it was this godawful, harsh, twitchy, noisy, rattling, rusty (yes at 3 months old) pile of absolute automotive dogshite. Was an ex Ford UK car & I suspect it may have been pranged by one of blue oval's suits before I made the unfortunate decision to buy it. My ZX Volcane was a far superior.

Anyone need any P2 Volvo 16" steel wheels? Sumitomo BC100 tyres with loads of tread left. Took off my old V70 2.5T - so will fit P2 Volvo's upto a 305mm brake size. Might be a good basis for a winter set. FREE but would need collecting (Derbyshire).

One man and his towel (!) off on their adventure. Who is coming for the #Saabmarine? Who is going to win the #hubnuttreasurehunt?? A free Saab and a bundle of fun in the finding thereof..stay tuned to @hubnut.bsky.social for more information

Me - So you need to focus on socials for the #saabmarine #hubnuttreasurehunt *What @hubnut.bsky.social actually hears* Ian - ADVENTURE - GO!! Who is joining in the fun tomorrow to become the proud owner of the Saabmarine?

You are definitely going to want to watch tonight's video on HubNut. Find out how you could end up with a Saab! No, this isn't a raffle.

If you haven't already go watch the BBC breakfast clip where the chancellor is questioned on how miles for EVs is to be accounted for "well your mileage is recorded every year at your MOT...." She seemed genuinely dumbfounded when the presenter pointed out new cars don't get MOT'd for three years 🫣

Look at this tempting beauty sparkling in the sunshine. She has a few quirks..BUT she will be (one of) yours on Saturday. Keep the diaries clear and join in on a little Hubnuttery - More information on 'how to own the Saabmarine' tonight at 6pm on @hubnut.bsky.social channel.

What a difference a wheel bearing makes! 👀🙈

It's only taken me over a year but....

Oh what's the bloody point?...

I'll admit, I'd honestly hoped that this video would of done better, not least because I really enjoyed making it. It's not going to dissuade me though from pursuing a lighter tone and more collabs in the future.

I think I need to be realistic and find the Saab a new home. Perfect winter beater? Hell no! It is interesting though. And leaky... £700ono.

Video on last weekend’s charity challenge with @thealso.bsky.social has just gone live on YouTube. I’m very proud of how this one turned out, and of what we and the plucky little Fiat managed to achieve. youtu.be/GPL0Aatml_M?si… Would highly appreciate a watch, and a donation if you enjoy ☺️

LEGO posted this cute video for the launch of their first official #StarTrek set today #LEGO

At the risk of igniting a debate I might regret about the proposed EV road charging per mile - I do have one legitimate question. The plan is to estimate your mileage and pay in advance. What if you put a load of miles on your car in Europe? Why should you pay the UK a tax on that mileage?

The road to Turin and @sionhudson.bsky.social youtu.be/TYNmzRX-_YQ?...

Comments have been positive on this one so far! 😁

Paging @hubnut.bsky.social 😂

If you've entered the raffle to win my Citroen C4 VTS 180, you currently have a 1 in 676 chance of winning. * Unless you've bought two tickets, in which case it's 1 in 338. ** Or four tickets, in which case it's 1 in 169. *** Or 25 tickets, in which case it's only 1 in 27!

Anyone in the market for a reasonably priced car? Very clean, drives really well, ULEZ exempt, MOT until February - £750 in Mid-Devon.

A very different video out for me today - with the help of @sionhudson.bsky.social & @thealso.bsky.social we recently changed the cambelt on the £500 XC90. Suffice to say things got a little chaotic 🤣❤️🙈 youtu.be/EAxtD4OxlrE

A good day out that! Filmed this immediately after the Cresta. Worlds apart. youtu.be/JV-MXlxbZZE

Here’s a little video introducing the charity ‘Cannoli-Ball Run’ that @thealso.bsky.social and I are going to do, and why we are doing it for Mind. youtu.be/6sv8lZG3k9Q?... Just Giving link is here: www.justgiving.com/page/cannoli...

That nut will be mocking me in my sleep tonight...

BIG news for this little hero. youtu.be/e4J5mOh6rsA

I went for the brave option today, the brave option didn't work out 😔

Fire up the parts cannon! 👀 XC60s codes are finally manifesting as some strange on road behaviour. Still...content so..um...yay? 🤔

Wales ❤️

Little bit of the drive last night - Standard Wales 🤣👀 - explains the frantic flashing off a pick-up truck about 5 minutes earlier 🙈

My god tier Aberystwyth parking space 🤣

I didn't in the end, and I regret not doing so. I got it out, got it ready, even took it for a local run and hit the rusty bits with some Dynax because of the weather for the week ahead - but my head absolutely got in the way as I was ready to drop my bags in 😔

I'd ask which car you lot think I should take to Wales for my week off but you'd all say the BX anyway 🤣

Fascinating take on early navigation attempts www.facebook.com/share/v/1Cuj...

It's time for more XC90 stuff - we'll file this one under category Grim! 🤢 youtu.be/MF0UBIQGKHk
