When I was at school, maybe 12, one of the other boys turned up with this particular #Tamiya Ranger. I've had to watch the Sand Scorcher and others released while we waited 40 odd years for this one. At last, I have fulfilled the dream.

After £2500 plus bill for a gearbox, clutch and dual mass flywheel wheel. A new battery and new wipers, my Z4 is finally driving like it should and my word, it's fabulous. Today I sorted the leather seats and cleaned, polished the exterior. Looks fab, drives great and ready for a european road trip.

Well that's Bicester screwed. Have a good day everyone.

The journey so far, the best figures yet, car must have run in properly at 120k miles. I'd just filled up with very, very expensive diesel but the range had read 125 miles left on arrival.

Meet my friend pain.

Lincolnshire Wolds.

Did a start up and running to temperature on the 48 Riley today. Once petrol was in the chambers it ran really strongly. Very pleased.

Bod returns briefly so gets the washed treatment that Hercule had been patiently waiting for too. Remember, a clean white car is a very good car indeed.

Answer to a French test question. "Thomas thinks his job is creative but dangerous." Thomas is a pilot.

Had a lovely day off work yesterday to celebrate Thing 1's graduation. We are so proud of his attitude to his work, both in uni and in the wider world. His work ethic is amazing. Really thankful that so many of his family and friends could join us too.

@chrisfm52e.bsky.social Up your alley.

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 ☺️

Meet my friend pain! Sucker!

Boat.

Well, this is a doozy of an hour! Morning all.

@norwichgiant.bsky.social likes a critter.

Well then. Purchase of a new daily has been agreed. Seller is going to MOT it before I collect. Should be ready within 2 weeks. So next week I’ll get a fresh MOT on Ruby before listing her for sale. If anyone is genuinely interested in taking on one of the UK’s rarest cars, drop me a DM.

You'll either love it, or loathe it.

Stowbridge, the river next to The Heron, the scene of another great gathering of the Weird Car Twitter Eastern Division as organised by the incomparable @norwichgiant.bsky.social

Saw this, papped it, thought @ajpbradley.bsky.social.

Been out in this tonight, I've always been a coupé man but finally, I get the convertible thing. Roof down, music on, empty roads, heated seats, it's genuinely liberating.

Awesomeness at the car show this morning.

I would if I could, there, that's my grief laid bare. Buy this car so I don't have to wonder how I could.

Ad for the Rallye is live, if anyone knows someone who might be interested www.carandclassic.com/l/C1944976

I know it's going to rain hard tonight, but it just got caught in a downpour so I washed it anyway. Expect monumental beading. Car meet in the morning too.

I did a buy. For resale too. Maybe @benjacksontp.bsky.social might want these given his new whip.

Garlic bread and mushroom and chicken pasta bake. And I can't smell any of it. Luckily they taste amazing.

Red car in "TR7 in the garage" shocker.

Birthday tee, my actual 7V8 on the front. Thanks to Thing 2.

Happy birthday to me today. I have a cold, and Ofsted is helping me celebrate the occasion for a whole 2 days. Yay!

Damned reliability issues on my Skoda! I've had to replace my key battery!

In car samosa holder, can reheat if so desired.

Me - Shut up and take my money. Him - Thank you.

Satisfying. #Beading.

Arguably a design icon.

A delightful surprise gift from Thing 2 this morning.

Really happy to be reminded at #Rustival of how sharp the XR3i looked and looks. I'd forgive its dynamics just for the looks. Wow.

UK Gov cuts red tape for restorations and modifications. Still need to inform DVLA but likelihood is you keep registration and VIN numbers. Hear that and more. To 👂 via streaming click 👉 www.motoringpodcast.com/episodes/202... To 👂 via other services click 👉 mpnewsshow.captivate.fm/listen

So in typical me style, I've found a car i want to buy without first selling something to make room for it. The Alfa it turns out is staying. I love it too much. So the Sprite needs to go. It's a lovely thing, with ZERO rust, loads of charm but average paint. Anyone interested?

Meet my friend niaq???

Does anyone have pics of Radwood UK 2025 I could look through, please? Local firework molesters ruined any chance of me coming today and from what I've seen it looked great.

The journey in numbers, the first time I've done the one way trip without filling up en route. And despite a very full car, the best ever one way figures. We left on the 26th July. Apologies for the dusty screen.

Passing a primary school en route this morning named after Jules Berry, a famous French actor who was described as "Bombastic, extravagant amd whimsical" and now I want to be this too. Sounds magnificent.
