I didn't go to Switzerland but l did drive a car on Swiss plates for fun. youtu.be/VORhSNU3yv4?...

Just started watching this. Group.B to synthwave music. It's quite therapeutic. youtu.be/SyJww91MWuo?...

The Citroën Visa was quietly posh. But typical of the French, they didn't need to add fancy Ghia or VDP badges. The rear seat was more luxurious than an VDP Allegro. youtu.be/I2ImBUfgNUM?...

Today I have not been to Switzerland. lnstead I have mostly been playing with BRAAN CARS on Swiss plates. Meet the Mazda6e pronounced Mazda-Sexy.

Am l the only excited to think that this is it, what terrified us in Transformers the Movie is real. And also thinking they should have called this Unicron?

X1/9's. Not good at the garden centre. And it looks like l killed a tiny turkey.

J turns to the extreme. If you love old Japanese cars, you'll love this. youtu.be/6oP6BCUGO30?...

There is a lot of beige in this upload. If you like beige and stylish T-shirts, this might appeal to you. youtu.be/D-eHukPoITA?...

Why? This might answer it for you. *Allegedly youtu.be/qQ7w3rCJVjg?...

Copacetic On-Tour has begun. If you're at Scramble today, come and see Daniel.

Comment taken from the latest upload. Can't disagree.. youtu.be/rZF7RZ7Wxb0?...

My time with it was brief. And that was all that was needed. youtu.be/Wwu4LJgWlaI?...

Anyone going to Bicester Scramble on Sunday? Come and say hello. His Lordship Barry will be on the Copacetic stand with @denialvibes.bsky.social Bit bitter sweet because it should have been Misery-Bug. But he's decided to throw an inlet valve and rocker.

Citroën's Visa was sold as a bargain basher of the high street. You could get it cheaper if you bought the Special but Citroën didn't want you to know about that one here. youtu.be/JtAzEllsJ_0?...

French designer Christopher Giroux has reimagined the Lancia Beta Montecarlo. So it was only right that l reimagined (or ruined it) it as Giselle from Herbie Goes to Montecarlo. share.google/UoCJIec1mDwc...

When did MASSIVE external intercoolers become a thing because I'm loving the "fuck it" look.

Taken at "Oh So Retro" and if you can,you should. I'm so for this level of stuff because: 1) Why be ordinary. 2) The owner can. 3) It pisses off the purists.

Oh So Retro in Margate still can't fathom out carparking. If you're coming, bring lunch for the queue.

Popped out for dinner. Discovered Kent was at war.

Barry's brake hose held a nasty secret.... youtu.be/GpmbccW2EBQ?...

A friend shared this on Fb. And l disagreed with him. I'm all for this kind of motorised bravery. If you can, YOU SHOULD!! ebay.us/m/1SGZXU

The car wasn't actually that bad.....but the UK advert......Owwwwww that advert! Filmed at Toyota's MEC. Because. youtu.be/AKxIBZ9LbCA?...

Love the guilt from DPD. I could but it's not going to happen. They are over: An hour on the train, an hour on bike or 4 hours of walking from me. So as their van is out and about, they might as well deliver it. Or use a planet saving EV van.

So that'll be you out of action then Douglas...... I thought he started sounding more rattly.

New car day. Always exciting. youtube.com/shorts/u8JEN...

Ok, which one of you car exsquirts keeps coming up with nonsense like this?

Like Super Man, the Ford Transit had a single weakness. It would appear the Transit super power could be broken by a single traffic cone. If only the police force had known about this when trying to apprehend those bad men with tights over their heads and the contents of a Barclays bank in the back

Whoever DM'd me earlier, sorry, l can't access messages on this app because I'm not verifying my age. Instagram is probably best.

I sometimes hate old cars. Bobby's window regulator gave up. Barry might need new discs. Toby still has a ton of stuff to be done on the rear panel. And it's the painting that takes ages to do.

Spent the day with Toyota and drank a lot of coffee (they have good coffee) in-between filming. Think l got away with it..............

Having a hard day today at Toyota's MEP....Media Experience PALACE. And doing something I've been wanting to do for a looonnngggg time. Drive the 60's Corona. So thanks Toyota GB for allowing me to doss around today getting up to all sorts of shenanigans.

It's a long one but count your chickens...... It has taken me over 16 hours to get to where l am in the Jpeg. And a lot of learning was learnt. youtu.be/t-u0pHQ-__w?...

Hats off to the people of Birmingham. Their bin strike still ongoing. And if you have followed the story, you'll have seen sofas and fridges dumped at the road side. But now (it looks like) people have started flying tiping old cars.

I sometimes think making these people sit facing a wall with "Live, Love, Laugh" and asking them to work it out would be a far harsher torture.

My Paranoid phone has recently updated its picture software. Asked it to restore Toby. Hmmmm I think even my welding skills aren't that bad. I particularly like the use of wood on the wing. Smoooooth. Then asked it to make a Visa of the future. Who knew Cyberpunk WAS the future?

Added some more sparkles to Visa. Give or take another day to clean, seal and paint, that's one panel now in.

Productive but slow. We are 12 hours into this. For those who think welding is easy and quick, it's not. And l ended up considerably dirtier as the day went by. Filming however was ruined by a crashing Go-Pro. Don't buy them! They are shite.

Can you guess who is having a long bath and facial tonight? 4 hours in and yeeeessssssssss. Erm.

I've done the chop chop. It was fun. But there is still a load of work to do with making 5 intricate pieces. More on that later. In the meantime, this was the chop chop moment. youtu.be/-3Z_sCqBXMc?...

The weekend plan of sitting on the sofa drinking vodka and eating M&M's in my underwear has been thwarted with the arrival of a series 2 Visa rear panel.

It's ironic that l own 6 cars but if l has to shrink the fleet........ youtu.be/K3RAzl4NqvM?...

Appearing in issue 2 of Copacetic magazine Garagistes: The Birdy Fleet of Broken Dreams Here l introduce @denialvibes.bsky.social to my driveway masters I'm a servant to. (The Depeche Mode song is definitely a garage anthem for this lot) copaceticmagazine.co.uk/shop/

Been a bit busy on Toby today. First time I've ever chopped out a panel and to say I'm rather proud of myself is an understatement. And to add to the joy, the surrounding metal is pretty solid.

It has started. Project Toby has BEGUN. youtu.be/KlHvwrggDNI?...

Playing GTA4 last night and l found a dilapidated Talbot Express van in the rundown building over at West Dyke.

Oh shut the FUCK up you silly cunts!! *Sorry about that. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Went out with professional Driver Magazine. I opted for the estate cars. Having watched this, l will make a better format for this. Anyway, here is my first attempt. youtu.be/cK5ib41-jn8?...

True story: "Nice car mate" "Thank you" "Don't see many of those around" "No. Funny enough Fiat's didn't tend to last back then" "Is it not a TR7?" "No. It's a Fiat X1/9" "TR9?" ........ ........ ........ ........ "Yes. Yes it is." Sometimes it's just best to go with the ignorant.

Buy a Suzuki Swift. Go places. youtu.be/yzNhJ-JT0Bo?...
