Jesus, it's miserable out there tonight

3 days from now I'll be back in Liverpool on this with my new car!

There has been wine and bad ideas 🤣

Right, @sionhudson.bsky.social is meeting me in Liverpool tomorrow How can I sell this Taj to Taj idea to him in the Nano? I need ideas folks!

So I'm looking at ideas for our next road trip and want to take the Tata Nano to the Taj Mahal! No not that one... This one Anyway @sionhudson.bsky.social is not convinced, what do you all say?

Fun fact: it’s actually a contraction. In full, it should be Llanfair*Y*pwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantisiliogogogoch. That first y has been dropped for convenience. (I’m not making this up)

Yeah... There

This made me cry....

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 ☺️

Well actually it was Jason Torchinsky at @theautopian.bsky.social but I'm not one to hold a grudge

We all grow up in the end

Looks like @sionhudson.bsky.social has given up on the 500 and is making his own way back Remember to donate to Mind UK justgiving.com/page/cannoli...

Met up with Matteo on the roof of Lingotto, went food shopping like something out of Challenge Anneka, and now driving through Switzerland on the way to our stop-off in northern France. A pretty standard day then! All in aid of Mind, of course justgiving.com/page/cannoli...

Shopping for food in Italy is so sophisticated! justgiving.com/page/cannoli...

We're on the road home baby!!!

We had so many adventures in that car....

You know when the sun, the moon and the stars align and coincidence explodes with shrapnel of serendipity? I randomly came across this Panda for sale thinking that looks familiar Should I buy it back??

It's rare but nobody cares

Was watching Italian Wheel Of Fortune last night and the star prize was....

Wow... Just wow Thank you everyone

Most of you good folk have donated to MIND but sharing this would really help ❤️ youtu.be/6sv8lZG3k9Q

That was an experience

The Fiat Panda isn’t just a car,it’s the definition of the Italian Peoples Car. From city streets to mountain roads, it’s been moving Italy for generations with simplicity, reliability, and charm. It is an everyday part of Italian life as pasta
