The couple that started this 96 V4 up looked like they had bought it new.

Have a tatty but useful looking MV6 Omega!

Coolest truck I’ve seen today

These are conceptually the same car

Here’s something I’ve been wanting to write about for a while: the weird Finnish Camarominos and plywood backseat Caprices!

The other day I wrote about the so-cheap-it-was-banned 1976 Toyota 1000 ”Timangi” and used this advertisement photo in the article. I didn’t realize I had photographed the same exact car at a show nearly ten years ago!

Probably the nicest old HiAce I’ve seen in ages. Even before the jetwash it severely needs.

Our man @julkinen.bsky.social took his daily driver on a rally to the edge of Russia and, well, didn't win... www.theautopian.com/i-took-my-da...

Anybody else got that thing where you tap on an image to see it in full size and when you close it you’re taken all the way to the top of your feed

”Vem ska du ringa? Spökligan!”

Name the movie!

Greetings from sunny Estonia! We’re on our way to the 2026 Press Rally, held in Lithuania this weekend. This year I’m bringing my rally blue 4WD sportswagon. It’s been a while since I took part in the autojourno rally with the Polo, 205 and Panda in 2017-19, so let’s give it at least one more go.

Remember there was an Alfa Romeo 164 in Oz?

Old cars at the dairy market today!

Crescendolls!

A brown Skoda Fabia sedan is absolutely one of my Sickos Yes/Hear me out cars, especially one with this little rust. Granted, it's got all the warning lights on for storage related reasons according to the ad, but this is exactly kind of flat cap car I'd love to daily huutokaupat.com/kohde/628476...

I haven’t updated my Twitter app for so long that it’s still called Twitter and has the bird. Looks like I cannot post with it anymore. This is an improvement

"Geo storm may refer to: Geo Storm, an automobile Geostorm, a 2017 American disaster film GunForce II, a 1994 Irem arcade game called Geo Storm in Japan"

I found this drawing of a Peugeot 405 Break based turbo diesel hybrid in a 1991 magazine. Does anyone remember seeing anything like it, or more photos of it? It was a series hybrid with a XUD turbodiesel charging the batteries, with two electric motors driving the rear wheels.

Around the time when I was a student, about to fully lock my taste in music so that it would never expand much further, I used to listen to White Ladder by David Gray quite a lot. I dug it up yesterday from Spotify and it still sounds so genius, so fresh, so poignant. Such a brilliant album.

Someone is hopefully fixing up this Allanté. #weirdcarbs

They put a Hongqiblende on this V8

It’s the same car.

Ad aspera ad Astra

The Clio-Colt is wearing summer rubber. I considered painting the steelies white, but my sloppy attempt at plastidipping them was luckily easily reverted. If they rust I’ll have them powdercoated white

An interesting thing is that while the base model, manual Skoda Fabia Explore has been priced just under 20,000 euros in Finland with the 95hp 1.0 TSI, you can spec it with a Sport suspension package for an extra 160 eur without having to add any other pack. It's a 15mm drop and likely little else.

Pour one out for the factory that built the Talbot Tagora www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Productive Sunday: As well as selling some old wheels and tires, I helped sell an old Citroën Berlingo Multispace today. It was a former beekeeper’s car they no longer had use for and were willing to let it go cheaply.

Never mind how bad the optics look on this 5600 mile Perodua (not the spec, the scrapes and respray attempts), the mileage accumulation up to 2023 in the MOT data is a treat. www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/...

Excellent job

Springtime means American iron on our roads! Plus I’ve seen a handful of (Dodge) Rams this week.

Hey remember Voltswagen

I love a Fancy Small Car, so I was pleased to discover the Peugeot 106 Griffe existed. It continued the style of the 205 Griffe and Gentry, offering leather seats, metallic paint, and excellent looking wheels. That also looks like a wooden shift knob 🪵

It’s my lucky day

Two completely different cars by completely different manufacturers

One of the rarest cars in Finland: a Prius NHW11 from the original batch that were registered here new. Cannot be more than a handful here. This needs to be saved and historic registered and not driven into the ground. www.nettiauto.com/en/toyota/pr...

I'm still thinking whoever bought a new Jimny back in 2018-2019 and got it rustproofed got a great deal. You haven't been able to buy a new one in Europe for a while and the last ones were all two-seaters. Used ones cost far more than the first ones did new, plus you have to factor in inflation.

The Clio-Colt comfortably swallows four 215/65R16 SUV tires without folding the seats. And I found the button that opens the trunk (in addition to the one on the key fob)

A Mk1 Mondeo! Predictably rotten, but a very rare car by now.

My thesis that yellow makes every car funkier continues unchallenged. This one needs a little love, though.

Excellent wheel choice on this Jag.

When have you last seen a Mk1 Seat Toledo?

We built it with the kid! One piece missing though, but that doesn’t matter.

Announcement: the Peugeot is finally rolling on steelies

Mulder and Scully seem to be in town

Hey everybody, I bought a house

New car day! One of the cheapest if not the cheapest car you can buy or lease new: the outgoing Mitsubishi Colt with the 999cc non turbo three. Have already procured a Ralliart badge because it’s a white Mitsu (and totally not a Turkish-built Renault Clio with Mitsu badging) #weirdcarbs

Disturbed to find out the wheel offset for the Fiat Ritmo/Strada Abarth 130TC is ET60
