Been in a mental pit for a while now. Haven’t worked in ages, few days here & there. Money is tight. Feeling kind of worthless and having lots of old thoughts. Today I got up, did some exercises, took my vitamins and now I’m out for a walk. Everything still sucks but I’m not letting it win.

Every day I open the device that makes me sad most of the time to see more & more stories about the baddies succeeding, people supporting & agreeing with them or giving them money. I know that I could stop looking but it wouldn’t change the fact that the baddies seem to be winning. I’m tired.

Under orders from @nickoctopus.bsky.social who is a real octopus 🐙 I watched Redux Redux (2025) and found it to be quite good indeed. Go in without knowing anything is my advice. A great little revenge drama. a greAt little revenge drama. a great little revenge dramA.

Scrolling on Instagram and saw a familiar ride. From Tatton Park on Saturday. Nice to get spotted. 👍🏻

🎊Happy 50th birthday to the awesome @breninstu.bsky.social who is currently in a field at Le Mans hopefully having a brilliant time. 🎁🎉🎈🤘🏻 One of the most lovely humans I’ve met via the online car community and now have the privilege to call my friend.

Painting a thing: This part will be buried and never seen by human eyes. This is the most beautiful work of art ever created. I should be an artist. This part will be seen by everyone. This is the single worst example of “painting” ever witnessed and is a crime against all art in history.

That feeling when you empty your pockets after the car show and realise you still have mini pork pies from your packed lunch left over.

What follows is mostly estate cars, wagons, shooting brakes from Tatton Park Classic car show today. There will be a few special mentions for non wagons later.

Ok. We’ve got plenty of bad robots out there. I’m offering this thread as a safe haven for good robots. Starting with The Iron Giant, Johnny 5, TARS from Interstellar and Paulie’s robot from Rocky IV. These robots are safe from the uprising.

Booked ✅

Job interviewer: “And how are you in a crisis?” Me: (Gesturing around) “We’re in the middle of multiple crises right now!” Job interviewer: (Screaming) Me: (Screaming) (Whole building, city, country, planet screaming) Job interviewer: “And what about hobbies?…”

Adam Wingard in full THE GUEST mode. Finally some good food.

Wondering where all my shiny tools keep going as I change the coolant on the 940.

Anyone going to Tatton Park this weekend?

Trapped in my house by the new road surface being laid on my road. Watching over the workers like a benevolent Forman. “Yes lads. Just like that. Make it a nice smooth surface for daddy, I mean me! Rich! Make a nice new road for me.”

The only Data Centre I like is the bridge of the Enterprise D.

I call this piece: “Me trying to identify the other end of a fastener using my phone camera to look because I can’t see it any other way.” I have so many pictures of awkwardly located things under cars in my camera roll.

Just putting it out there blue sky classic car kids...if anyone knows of a cheap cheap classic they're looking to sell, let me know. I'm booked into FOTU but now Genevieve has gone, I have nowt to bring. We're talking sub £1000 here. Thanks all As you were.

Ok. The fleet has acquired a car. IT IS NOT A VOLVO! (Pause for audience to calm down) We needed a grocery getter / teaching youth to drive / cheap to run nugget. It is not anything interesting at all. That is the point. And it was free. So here you go car guessing fans. 2016. 1.0L. 5 doors.

I have just found my CD 💿 copy of Appetite For Destruction in an old head unit. Rookie move not checking it when I removed it from the 480 Turbo. Installed it flawlessly in the 850 to do a speaker test. Disc now safely rehomed in the boot based multichanger. 👍🏻

I’ll give you two guesses which one of my earbuds fell into the toilet.

Petrol? Sure. Diesel? Ok. Electric? If that’s your thing, fine. With fuel prices this high, there’s another option. Steam power baby! Can’t wait to see this progress. Choo choo!

Jude the steam car is in storage next door. Life is about to get very hectic, but please stay tuned for this very unconventional project, as I learn the dark art of steam power, and attempt to penetrate the steam community for much needed advice. Monotube boilers, anyone??

The sky is angry. I can only assume that scientists have unearthed some ancient evil that has been buried for centuries.

Estate car doing estate car things. 12 wheels to the storage unit and then an engine hoist to Stu’s. Volvo wagons. 👍🏻

Popped along to a new car show not far from me. Already seen the best car here.

While fans are craving that Indy 500 magic, the Brickyard traded its Indy 500 racers for six huge wieners on wheels, which raced twice around the famous track.

"What's that dish for, mate?"

So you mean to tell me that people don’t *have* to dress in formal wear to post online? I could’ve been in casual attire this whole time? All that wasted time changing into my posting tuxedo.

Post a photo of a car with driving lights.

Retro live stream of me playing Goldeneye on the N64 back in the day. Hours of silence and frustrated facial expressions as I try to kill Baron Samedi occasionally swearing. Repeat for hours. Filmed on mini dv.

I didn’t think I’d enjoy a documentary about repurposed Pizza Hut buildings but here we are. Slice of Life: The American Dream. In Former Pizza Huts. I rented it on prime. It was a great doc. Also a little history of Pizza Hut if that interests you at all. But mostly cool folks in funky huts.

Get yourself an art. Or multi art.

Everyone pushing A.Ï. Talking about it, putting it in stuff that doesn’t need it, building massive data centres that consume millions of gallons of water to power it. I don’t get what problem it is solving. Just do something else. It’s boring. Use all that money to do something useful. A.Ǐ. = bad

I have struggled with my mental health for my entire 36 years of life so far. Bipolar 2, OCD/GAD, and depression. Together, they are forces to be reckoned with. But, what I’ve come to learn is that *I* am as well. ❤️ Don’t give up. You’re worth fighting for. @mentalhealthcaucus.bsky.social

@chopperfireball.bsky.social Can confirm 1 x 🚁💥 In Mortal Kombat 2 (2026) In the Johnny Cage Uncaged Fury movie within the movie. Upon watching MK2 I’d have rather watched the fake film. Still better than the previous instalment though.

Abandoned(?) Saabs in front of an old car showroom in North Yorkshire.

Two films about travelling across America with an annoying passenger. Both feature scenes of helicopters being taken out with handguns too. The other thing they have in common is that I own them on special edition Blu-ray now. Physical media baby!

Left the house at 04:30. Started work at 08:00. Finished work at 12:00. Can’t even check into my digs yet I’ve finished so early.

Post a meme made by you.

I’m uncharacteristically drunk. AMA.

Terrorvision > Eurovision

So Cammy's made it all of the 3 miles to her first show today 😂 Currently at Buckley Show representing Brenin Automotive and Steel Kustoms 😊

Just watched Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die and I thought it was fun as hell. Really well shot, quirky & a fun cast. Some commentary on modern life and technology and Sam Rockwell set to maximum Rockwell. I enjoyed it.

“Hear me out: A Vampire James Bond that drives a monster truck.” The 007 executives cowering in a corner: “Please release us. The hostage negotiator quit in tears days ago. We’re sorry. We were wrong to dismiss your ideas…” Me: “Ok. Now we’re getting somewhere. Anyway, he’s got this puppet…”
