I keep forgetting about this app. From a couple of weeks ago. What are the odds of TWO 1998 Citroën Xsara 1.4i X poverty spec models being in Cornwall? Let alone the blue one living about 25 minutes away from me. It's used as a takeaway delivery car.

2001 Toyota Yaris Verso 1.3 Auto 1999 Skoda Felicia 1.3 L

Panda 100HP spotted yesterday. #weirdcarbs

The Goodwood Revival’s Summer of Love theme is the message the world needs right now 🫶🏼☮️💞

A brilliant piece of music youtu.be/SAmuSOcVk1A?...

N10 Datsun Cherry at a local car show - Lizard Point car show. Yes, that is a Crayford Allegro next to it, and it's also owned by Richie who seems to own Cornwall's entire population of Datsuns. More on the Allegro in another post.

A dear friend of mine (and Craig Cheetham) has teamed up with Tom Barnard and Mike Askew to bring you a new podcast talking about normal, forgettable everyday cars from the 1990s and early 2000s. Expect tales from the industry and from when they were all working for Auto Express. Links in the reply.

Fiat Uno - CAR magazine 1983 #OldCarGBU verdict: Interesting👍 For: Likeable, bang-up-to-date supermini, excellent aerodynamics, cabin room Against: Ride on the firm side Sum-up: First rate effort #CarBluesky #WeirdCarBS

My good friend Mat and I have done an thing again. We've finally done the next episode of the Lightning Seeds Podcast. This time we take a long look at the album Tales Told, Ian's solo album. Get it on Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/5zxG... Get it on YouTube: youtu.be/USIq_q6eU4c?...

Skoda Favorits of #fotu2025 The car that won the event, a 1992 Favorit Forum and a 1994 Favorit 1.3 LXi

Pair of 205s from #fotu2025. 1989 205 1.4 XS and a very early 205 1.1 GL registered in 1983!

Fabulous Lancia Betas from #fotu2025. 1979 Beta Berlina 2000 Automatic and a 1977 Beta Berlina 1600

British Leyland Filth from #fotu2025. I love an Allegro, especially an Allegro 3. The sheer desperation of trying to make it modern I find so appealing. 1981 Austin Allegro 3 1.3 L 1977 Austin Allegro 1300.

Pure Austin Rover filth from ##fotu2025. A fantastic Maestro Vanden Plas from 1985, a Ledbury Maestro from 1998 and a fabulous 1984 Montego 1.6L from the Concours.

Datsuns of #fotu2025 1/3 1976 100A Cherry

Talbot Alpine and Solara from #fotu2025. The Solara came all the way from Poland.

- Mates and Unexceptional Motors - Some lovely people in Citroën Xantias who invited me to park the Xsara alongside them. - A pair of right F-ing CVHs modelling for Festival of The Undressable in the middle of recording their brilliant podcast of absolute bobbins. Must be TIME FOR A SERVICE!

Fiats of FOTU 2025, Part 1.

Also, kudos to whoever turned up at Goodwood Festival of Speed in a really tidy Fiat Ulysse.

Been prepping this for the Concours de L’Ordinaire at this year's Festival of the Unexceptional. Typically, the machine polisher broke half way through and it started raining whilst trying to treat the bumper plastics. Hey ho.

It's been online a wee while, but the Tilt episode of the Lightning Seeds podcast hosted by Mat Read and I is in the usual places. Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/5M4v... Youtube: youtu.be/GYF5krpSM3k?... Show Notes: lightningseedsarchives.co.uk/2024/10/13/t...

Said goodbye to this old timer over the weekend after 7 and a half years of ownership. It was a hard decision to make but one that needed making. It was too far gone for me to do, but from what I can gather it is getting done up by the next owner 🙂

Oh I love this little Fiorino www.facebook.com/share/19G1Mj...

1998 called, wants its driveway back.

Thanks for that Leo. My son's gift to me for Father's Day...

12 hours left.

Happy 83rd birthday Macca. Here's some photos from when I saw him at Anfield in 2008. That was a very, very good night. #paulmccartney

I wrote a thing. It's about my Skoda. And Scotland. But mostly about my Skoda.

Here's my Rover 216 for sale, Has been off the road for the last two years and has deteriorated significantly in those two years, beyond my limited talent, know how and finances. Needs a new home to bring it back or at least provide parts. £99 start, no reserve. FIND ANOTHER on that side of things

That orange twat can go fuck himself. I'll take my cues from this guy, thanks. This album is one of my absolute favourites.

2007 Citroën C6 Lignage 2.8 HDi Auto 📸 21st April 2025, Liverpool.

Today was spent giving it a good rub down and a full blown polish. Then a bit of a touch up. Then I started on the Citroën. #weirdcarBS

😥

Local cars for local people and it's a prime slice of rare but nobody cares. A 1998 Nissan Almera 1.4 still wearing the original selling dealer number plates and rear windscreen sticker. 📸 4th April 2025. #weirdcarbs

Obligatory frosty morning photo. The Cornish Car Spots fleet, proving we've been doing our bit to lower property values wherever we live.

I can't stand bullies. President Zelensky is now trying to stand up against two of them. We should have his back. #SlavaUkraïni

A desirable car known for its entertaining chassis with spirited handling and good performance, with a low, sleek body and fine aerodynamics. And some Aston Martin thing.

Yknow what, this is my @hoonofthe.day (sorry Stef!) First pic alone is the sales pitch🫡 What say you #weirdcarBS link.mobile.de/qUcqRCXJekty...

Some label somewhere needs to release this brilliant album on vinyl. Needle Mythology perhaps?
