It’s wild. I have personal memories of basically the entire transition from analog to digital everything. I’ve dropped off my film to a booth in a parking lot for it to be developed all the way to some guy’s toilet needing a software update because it’s been taken over by a Russian bitcoin botnet.

Sometimes the Internet just gets you

The cockies are back to nibble on the tree! I thought there was someone crashing about in the backyard but it was just these jerks doing some aggressive gardening.

Just had a run up the freeway and back this evening, got some surprisingly great fuel economy out of the Majesta. 11.6km/l which is 8.6l / 100km, 27mpg US, or 32.7mpg UK. Now if only the price hadn’t just jumped 20c per litre in the last couple of days…

good morning and happy Monday, here’s something absurd for us to begin the week collectingcars.com/for-sale/199...

One of the more interesting Escort engine swaps I have ever seen - this gentleman in South Africa put a Barra in a mk2. Sounds pretty sweet. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ9K...

If you've recently updated Firefox there's an AI kill switch (for FF AI) Options->AI Control

Excellent dyno video for all the Triumph enthusiasts out there. @upndown.bsky.social damn there were some muppets in the comments though. youtu.be/JAl6Wr1qYF4?...

Falcon(s).

Just seen a kid almost get bowled over by a grown ass man on an electric scooter caning it along the footpath. 😤🤬 Someone else tried to stop him but he just zoomed off. Fuck these pricks he would have been going 40kmh plus.

Dad just sent me this pic of him in 1976 sitting on the boot of his 2.5PI outside a winery looking suave af. #weirdcarbs

I bought my Dad a Canon EL-10 flash for his birthday and now the shop I bought it from is sending me marketing emails with awesome retro styled mirrorless cameras and I don’t need another hobby but…

Been listening to some old cds recently and I’m just going to say it: The Violent Femmes were not that good and most of their songs were pretty rapey. They never sounded that good live either.

Dear god it’s pristine! www.carsales.com.au/cars/details... AE93 SX Seca Liftback 5dr Man 5sp 1.6i

Yes. Next question.

The Steam Machine has been delayed because stupid little babies can't stop using AI to write their emails: aftermath.site/steam-machine-...

I guess we're back to the #CreatingLightlyWIP then. Haters will say it's a school runner, a grocery getter and a tools transporter. Reshare if you like it, are excited for it or would like other people to find this! 💛

I want a van with enough room in the back to pace and smoke a pipe and think over my next newspaper article. #Kei #KeiVan #Atrai #JDM

hell yeah I have a Copen strategy

Aussie stuff. Second one of these I've seen this weekend.

22. Earlier I promised that I'd post the most iconic of the atypical Alfas. But now I see that I failed to take any photographs of the car in question. Fortunately, I did snap a quick shot with my cell phone. So, for what it's worth: If Alfa came back to this design, I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

It’s about time I introduced myself again. I’m James, an illustrator, designer and writer from the UK. My obsessions are cars, my dog Winnie and sci-fi. I’m currently working on a long-gestating new sci-fi IP. You can buy prints and merch of my work at mrjalco.myshopify.com Cheers!

This is what peak physical Media looks like.

Mmmmm, headlight polishing. My favourite (forgot to take before pics ffs).

QOTD: what's your favorite version of a car you didn't get in your home market? Altezza RS200 is near the top of my list #weirdcarBS #carbluesky

Was driving behind this blacked out abduction-spec Mercedes V class earlier today, with a suitably strange rego plate. Was it previously on a spurned engagement present? Formerly a wedding rental car? Does the owner partake in human trafficking? I have to know. #weirdcarbs

It’s turning 35 this year.

Mmmm, new dash mat. Has now spent enough time in the sun to have smoothed out to the surface contours. Keeping my dash nice and safe from the deadly laser in the sky.

In this thread I will share all the "Did you know? 🚗🖌️" mini-threads I've done, so you can bookmark this and have it all in one place. These are part of the research I am doing for my upcoming "Homologation Specials" book. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did researching! 🤩 Re-share if you do ❤️

Did you know? 🚗🖌️ When Ford was failing in motorsport, they turned to long-time partner Cosworth for help on building an engine. This would power the Ford Sierra RS Cosworth. A 3-door XR4i body was used for wind tunnel and on-track testing. The shape of the Sierra was somewhat unstable at speed.

Caught in traffic again!

Got my new daily driver headphones (Moondrop Old Fashioned)! Lovely clear highs and mids, but with less of a brassy punch than my zx110s. Lighter and more comfortable than the Sonys as well; the foam pads are better than the plastic leather. Great headphones for the price.

Just picked the Crown up from its first service in Aus. There was nothing wrong, no preventative maintenance required or large jobs looming in the near future. Just paid for the standard service and was on my way. Is… is this what owning a Toyota is like? I keep waiting for the catch.

There’s a bunch of units being built over the road, and last thing Friday arvo they decided to dig a trench. They wrecked something important and took out a large chunk of the neighborhood… Western power techs now all up the street having to fix someone else’s fuck up.

If, like me, anybody has been wondering whether you can wear a Fiat Cinquecento as a coat, this lady confirms you can.

Vintage wheel catalogues are disappointingly not a category on pornhub. #weirdcarbs #justweird

I’m begging you, begging you to be as negative to AI as humanly possible.

Woke up this morning to an email congratulating me on hitting 25k subs. To help with scale, I think in football stadium terms. I visited Stade du Hainaut a few weeks back...25,000 capacity. 24,000 more than I thought I'd ever have! Thank you to all who support me.

Any of the below. Would be impossible to get parts for, insurance would be crazy, and I struggle to fit in the A110. Still would.

Fetishize inconvenience

Admiral Ackbar is absolute filth.

Yeah. Gotta love a fridge that will only open by talking to a LLM and serves you ads at the same time. youtu.be/cxZgILm95BU?...

Got a set of custom labels printed by a legend on Etsy known as LessEfforts, and the results are awesome! Going to get all my favorite albums printed with these from now on.

Public service announcement / reminder to clean your computers! Mine was overheating like crazy with the fans going flat chat, so I pulled everything out to check and found the huge pile of dust pictured. Parts aren’t cheap anymore got to make this one last for a couple more years at least…
