I spotted one of the rarest cars that I'd be amazed if anyone cared about. A Mk2 Ford Maverick V6. A thinly disguised Mazda Tribute which is also vanishingly rare here.

for anyone seeking just a spark of joy today anywhere on planet earth, Rocket Bunny just debuted an Choro-Q R32 kit for a Suzuki Twin for TAS 2026 and, well, it’s sort of incredible and literally perfect www.instagram.com/p/DTO1z7rgXS...

One of those cars that I would really love to own but have no idea why.

‘What’s the last car you stopped to take a picture of?’

Today has been taken up with this Mini that won't illuminate the speedo or indicator/headlamp tell tales. Endless tracing wiring has found no faults other than a blown bulb in the cigarette lighter illumination so far. All connectors with no corrosion, bcm and fusebox look perfect. A real puzzle.

This is like seeing a beautiful, listed but ultimately useless building falling into disrepair. Extremely sad but you wouldn't want to be the one to take it on. And that's coming from someone who's owned one of these amazing, hopeless lumps.

Spotted in Aotearoa New Zealand....🇳🇿 Mazda.

Riding as a passenger in the Renault Espace F1 is like going through an MRI with your jewellery still on. #weirdcarbs

now, even my non-homologation dork amigos might remember the DoA 926R De Tomaso concept - along with the FIA registration here, this is a heck of a What Could Have Been situation historicdb.fia.com/model/charad...

Make sure you always protect those that are most precious to you. Even if those things are an incredibly battered Xsara Picasso.

S4 wheels on A2 = strong fitment

funky C2 VTR had team dynamics wheels, a bit of lowering and a saddle tan leather seats, unsure of CD player status

😭 "Her name is cringe wagon and she was the best car to ever do it...I had the best two summers of my life in her, and the worst fall and winter, too. PC: tinyurl.com/n5d2ydz8

More Autocar archive. Always liked this 2001 test of all the stuff you could get under £10k. Fairly diverse - city cars, superminis, MPVs, baby hot hatches, quite a spread of manufacturers. Just went through price lists and lemme tell you, it's difficult to assemble that many cars today...

RIP to Martin Parr, who photographed this classic

I'm definitely not cool enough for Harajuku.

Pajero Junior alert!

Anyone else remember when every scrap yard had one of these in this colour sat in it, only a few years after they were brand new? A rare survivor of a car you could drive out of the showroom for £1.

For sale in Auckland

Obscure group B car alert

This is very important knowledge. It should be in the driving test.

This little Fiesta, owned since I was 17 and only sold it in 2023 when money got very tight for a short while. It still exists but is now sat in a shed with a blown engine and the interior all dog chewed since it left my hands.

QOTD: What car have you owned the longest? I had the TSX wagon for seven years.

Either this Toyota Corona or Toyota Starlet Carat, both of which I had for mere hours before shifting them on for a profit simply because their air con worked and i bought them both on very hot days.

I figured out the exact problem with your car. Check out the image below for more info

Today, I learned that Chrysler sold a van version of the PT Cruiser in The Netherlands. It was a classic case of exploiting tax loopholes. The rear hatch was redesigned to increase the interior volume to meet the van regulations. #ItsVanTime www.flickr.com/photos/81821...

Arguably the oddest-looking Suzuki of its era was the short-lived, Japan-only 3rd-generation Cervo kei car. The 1988 brochure featured sections of rather bizarre English text: 'Wow, look at this rear styling! Don't you just want to hug it... Suzuki sure knows what every girl wants'. #weirdcarbs

Autumn chores and autumn fun

Start your Sunday off with some top tier factory shots. Look at all those V12s! #weirdcarbs

The 1966 FNM Onça coupe was a variant of the FNM 2000 sedan - an Alfa Romeo 2000 built under licence in Brazil - built for several years until Alfa bought FNM in 1968. The coupe was FNM’s own work, however, albeit heavily influenced by the Ford Mustang.

Dustbuster!

Found the only creative thing I ever made during Covid (the rest was just me gradually losing my marbles and aging myself several decades).

Genesis just surprised us with a wagon concept called the G90 Wingback

Big thanks to Wickes. Without them I'd never know how to load my early Volkswagen Passat B5 carefully, evenly and safely.

Got these new trainers today but I can't get it out of my head that they look like fuckin DC Tosh Lines from The Bill

GT2 dream car unlocked!!!!!!!

This little Autozam is really cool, almost as cool as the building that was built specially for Mazda's short lived M2 customisation and performance division.

Goat with a threatening aura. You are not going to be stealing the H from those Hondas.

When did people stop aspiring to own big squishy saloon cars? Nothing quite beats a proper luxo-barge.

Very few cars I've driven have been as mind numbingly crap as the Vectra B, which is a real shame as they can look amazing. Great details on a fantastically well balanced shape.

it’s a beautiful fall day here so here are some BTCC vibes www.carandclassic.com/auctions/199...

This is reliably the best thing about Halloween every year

Nothing says 'a quality used car' like a nearly 20 year old Astra van with a mirror held on with gaffer tape.

The best looking of the Chevy Volt/ Vauxhall Ampera bloodline. Want
