If Keir Starmer had any backbone, he’d put his illegal war on Iran to a parliamentary vote. The British public are done being America’s poodle.

I'm powerless to not post a tidy early MG ZT 190 in Monogram Typhoon when I see one.

Ioniq 6?

Factoid: Motorshow North was the title for Manchester’s motor show that in 1986 was in the new G-Mex (Greater Manchester Exhibition Centre) facility. Like many such regional UK motor shows it was a dealer supported show, but included UK market debuts like the E30 BMW 325i Convertible… (📸: Autocar)

Remember kids when we used to be a decent country?

Neat. Off-topic, but is there one for spineless heads of state too? #politics

*except Palestinian, Iranian and Lebanese Muslims whose suffering you’re directly complicit in

37 years ago today, March 19, 1989, #TheSimpsons short "Bathtime" first aired on The Tracey Ullman Show on Fox. This short was featured in "The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular."

From Gaza and Iran to Cuba and Venezuela, US gangster imperialism continues to fuel genocide, war, destabilisation and mass suffering. And unlike Keir Starmer, the British public has learnt the lessons of Iraq. They oppose the illegal US-Israeli war on Iran and the use of UK bases to wage it.

good morning - brown wagon, y’all www.autoscout24.it/annunci/merc...

Saw a Fluence after ages. Never drove one but I do remember taking 'scoop' photos/videos of these when Renault India were doing pre-launch testing 15 years ago. How time flies and all that...

We will never experience this again

Aka The Lady With The Mystic Smile.

There were an unbelievable amount of variants of that platform sold worldwide. I think they're pretty similar under the skin to the Pontiac Firefly, Geo Metro etc that the US got too.

After initially struggling to establish itself in India with the Escort, Ford scored a hit with the Ikon, a booted Fiesta, marketed as 'the josh machine'. It was designed originally with the Indian market in mind, but later built in a few other markets too. #weirdcarbs

Andy made a great post about the brochure for the Ford Ikon the other day which lit me up about hatchloons again. The Clio Symbol/Thalia always comes to my mind when I think about hatchloons. bsky.app/profile/carb...

Look at this wacky little thing! #carsky #weirdcarBS Canon EOS R 24-105mm f/4-7.1

They said it would take 193 years to clean London’s air. We did it in nine. 💨 London has now met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide air pollution.

Yeah great entry Mac for those that must buy new, and shown to be far better than expected for an iPhone/iPad chip. I still think proper ports even on an M1 Air even with a slight performance disadvantage makes them a better longer term buy

Reject AI. There’s so much weird stuff out there for you to take real pictures of.

I often wonder if we'll be nicer towards cars that were once quite unashamedly synonymous with their creators. Especially once Musk and other RW-ers are gone. I genuinely quite like the older Teslas (Model S?), the Grenadier, and even some local ones...

"Trying to compete with Reform not only feels inauthentic... but a betrayal of what Labour is supposed to represent. We must address the concerns and fears of voters, not play on them." Damning stuff from Sadiq Khan www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bloke.

Contemplating moving to Singapore. Superb country I'm told, plus solid Tamil presence (culture, food, language -- that'll ensure I don't miss home), and Tony Hatter's finest work:

The all-new Range Rover. Nought to 62 mph quicker than you sweat*. *doesn't apply to people who don't sweat. They get pinned. Sometimes to the seat, sometimes by the walls of the tiny little prison castle they ought to have been put inside ages ago.

No, no, it's not racist if I say it. 😁

Hi all, todays drawing in my all new drawing series 60 Years Of The Ford Transit is the LWB new shape Custom. #fordcars #fordtransit #fordtransitcustomlwb #fordtransitcustom #fordtransitcustommk2 #fordcarsuk

As the saying goes, the penis mightier than the sword...

This is getting out of hand! Now there are TWO of them.

Love this. A bit ironic that it comes from a country that's trying its level best (mediocre) to make its mark the AI race...

Still getting distracted by Bornite 124s www.carandclassic.com/auctions/199...

After witnessing Israel’s genocide against Palestinians, the least we can do is speak plainly: Zionism is racism and it has been since its foundation. We must be proudly anti-Zionist. That means fighting for a single democratic Palestinian state from the river to the sea, with equal rights for all.

The Nikon Df has really made me confront my knob-and-dial fetish. My 🧠 knows that modern dual control wheel setups are superior and my ❤️ doesn’t care. (And I know that I can use the Df that way but the ergos are so shite. So I pretend it’s an F3 with a digital back.)

Top-tier PR lols from Autoglym. Actual-sized bottle, and the ‘bottle’ it came in 😆

Latest commissioned piece is sliding into view! 3x Mk1 Escort rally cars. A picture you can hear.. #Ford #Rally #WRC #Classic #art

Wheels. #Porsche #AMG #MG

Just realised that those illuminated VW badges on the ID.7 are a cost option. People are actually choosing to make their car look like that.

Factoid: A year on from its launch & the Scimitar GTE got a useful automatic option (the well-known Borg-Warner 35 transmission), a safety steering wheel plus the ‘novelty’ a rear wash wipe (two-speed at that)…

i would pay actual money to hear Eric Trump try explaining how cryptocurrencies work

So you’re gonna want to be in 3 for this corner, it’ll set you up better for the next straight

These two women are suing Andrew Tate, alleging he raped them. Here they visit the social media companies that created Tate. Please share. *one voice altered to disguise identity

This GOOD BOY ran onto the course during the Women’s Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint event, crossing the finish line and being automatically recorded by OMEGA’s photofinish camera 😆

That's very... nice!

Just letting those interested know I am now posting on Substack from time to time.
