MoT pass for the TT today, so top-down motoring can commence for springtime 😀

Spring must have sprung, @sionhudson.bsky.social turned up in March with the top down on the TT

Attention to every detail? Nuggets of rare and accurate information? Please check out @sionhudson.bsky.social 's really excellent back-to-back-to-back between the three generations of 5 #WeirdCarBS

It's @sionhudson.bsky.social looking amazed at the big yellow glowy thing in the sky giving off warmth It's been a long time

Pulled PGH out of hibernation and took him on a 200 mile round trip to hang out with the Gay Classic Car Group for Christmas Dinner Fantastic night and I wasn't the only one who braved the awful weather with an old car Someone even came in a chrome bumper MGB!

190 miles done in Eco the Sahara Panda today; what a fuss-free little car. Just gets on with it, and the 1.1 FIRE engine enjoys being worked hard like a proper Italian. Lovely views at Rutland Water, and also v pleased with the almost OEM Blaupunkt Bluetooth radio.

What's it like to drive the world's cheapest car? Thanks to @thealso.bsky.social and @sionhudson.bsky.social, I've been able to write about it www.hagerty.co.uk/articles/dri...

Out about in the Sahara Panda today

Focus is back and better than ever! Replaced the lower arms with quality ones, and also new track rods and ends, 4 new tyres and tracking. Drives like a new car in a lot of ways now, feels responsive and sharp in a way it never did with its old knackered balljoints. MOT pass today means a drive out

Sometimes in marketing, you just have to go for the jugular.

We got back at 4am... Fooking knackered today 🤣

Yeah... There

This is pretty fascinating.

This made me cry....

If you're looking for something to watch today, why not take a look at @sionhudson.bsky.social and @thealso.bsky.social's Cannoli Ball Run from Turin to Cambridge in aid of Mind. @tobywakeford.bsky.social, and I may make a small cameo appearance 🙈 youtu.be/GPL0Aatml_M?... #WeirdCarBS

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 ☺️

Today was amazing.... justgiving.com/page/cannoli...

The road to Turin and @sionhudson.bsky.social youtu.be/TYNmzRX-_YQ?...

I think @thealso.bsky.social is a little tired

Good morning from Reims

The 500 and us have arrived safely at the B&B Hotel in Reims, after an epic 11 hour, 500-mile journey from Turin. It was hard work at times with some tricky Swiss mountain roads! We can all have a few hours rest before pressing ever more onwards to Cambridge tomorrow! @thealso.bsky.social

Time to hit the road on the Cannoli-ball Run!

Ok Cannoli-ball run update time! We met Matteo on the roof of Lingotto, and he handed over our Piedmontese meal challenge! Then it was time to get shopping for all the fabulous Italian ingredients in a very chic supermarket

Apologies for the delay - finally edited some photos from my ancient dust-in-the-lens camera. Great to see you & @andrewelan.bsky.social @v8mt.bsky.social @robadcock.bsky.social @sionhudson.bsky.social @thealso.bsky.social @boosplodge.bsky.social plus many more - looking forward to next time 👍

A very different video out for me today - with the help of @sionhudson.bsky.social & @thealso.bsky.social we recently changed the cambelt on the £500 XC90. Suffice to say things got a little chaotic 🤣❤️🙈 youtu.be/EAxtD4OxlrE

So Jim @thealso.bsky.social has ordered some stickers for the Fiat 500 for me to bring with me. In my Ryanair hand luggage. … Thanks Jim!!!!

Here’s a little video introducing the charity ‘Cannoli-Ball Run’ that @thealso.bsky.social and I are going to do, and why we are doing it for Mind. youtu.be/6sv8lZG3k9Q?... Just Giving link is here: www.justgiving.com/page/cannoli...

My French superminis parked together at the moment

Volvo variomatic woes

The only road legal Tata Nano in the UK! @sionhudson.bsky.social just popped the plates on and it's all ready for its first road trip when I get back after www.justgiving.com/page/cannoli...

The Fiat 500 in Italy is to see more than a car, it is a mobile monument to la dolce vita, a tiny, rolling piece of national DNA. This is not a vehicle that intrudes upon the landscape, but one that grew from it, a character in the daily opera of Italy, not just transport, but right at home...

My two little dark blue mini superminis 🥰

Today we are Metroing

Watching the latest Throttle House video on the Esprit V8 #GoNorfolk and what do we see flash on the screen? The little red Fiesta of @sionhudson.bsky.social

Spending the afternoon in Norwich, first stop lunch!

Had to go to the big Swedish shop, so only one car was appropriate

Got my 106 out of the shed, washed and bumpers restored

My dad Alwyn suffered devastatingly from Alzheimer's for 10 years before he died this year. On Saturday, we are doing a Memory Walk in his honour. More challenging given the impending storm and 46mph winds forecast for the day 🤣! Please donate if you can: www.justgiving.com/fundraising/...

Busy day replacing the broken speedometer cable on my Renault 5, before tackling the reverse light switch too. Full complement of lights at last! But as a reward, it’s decided to shit its driver’s window regulator again. Thanks so much

Reflectiing on the 80s with @sionhudson.bsky.social

Today’s subject in my mechanic’s bay (ok, gravel driveway) was a coolant flush and oil change on the Renault SuperCinq. All went smoothly, so treated myself to some Asian inspired steak for dinner (with Italian wine naturally)

Busy day working on the 500 yesterday, getting the aircon regassed, replacing the coil pack and battery. Ready for its trip to southern Italy next month with @thealso.bsky.social

Also spotted this very smart looking mk4 Golf. They are such classy things still, and hard to believe this one is 26 years old. Shame about the mismatched wheel trims

Spotted this Vectra estate in the back streets of Cambridge. A very unusual sight these days

I’ve been away over the summer and not very good at posting on here. But today I am back in the automotive saddle! New bumpers and grille fitted to the Super 5

Glad to help, always enjoy tagging along on the automotive adventures, especially when it's for a good cause. If you're wondering what this is about, Jim and Sion are doing a Canolli-ball run to raise money for UK mental health charity MIND. You can read more here:

@thealso.bsky.social (along with @sionhudson.bsky.social) is up to his standard tricks of raising funds for a very worth cause via Fiat-based adventures! Throw a few bucks/quid his way www.justgiving.com/page/cannoli...
