Why are we spunking billions on GenAI, the digital equivalent of a bint from HR replying with 'Sorry you feel that way?' GenAI tells people to jump off bridges; to use glue for sticking cheese back on pizzas. Algorithmic AI: detects cancer quicker Investors: [...] Clown world.

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

How it should look. Colour matched wheels are always the correct answer

www.facebook.com/share/1GrpSM... I don't do Yank Tanks often, but this Cutlass 350 Rallye is one of my favourite specs. An overlooked model as it was technically all show and no go, but that's a bit of a relative term really

The BMW Z3 is now thirty years old, and while values still remain rather low, 1995 is feeling very classic indeed. Amid a sports car renaissance, BMW built their first roadster in decades, complete with dynamism in its curves, fire in its heart, and a very lively rear end. (1/2)

I just had a read through the budget to search for changes in VED for cars and there is no change regarding the 40 year rolling exemption for classic vehicles. A lot of debate and consequent division was sparked by a rumour by an MP and some Youtubers seized on it. Shame on you!

If we are going to do this whole Lancia's that should have made it thing then I have to bring this to the table. The Fulvia 1600HF Competitzione

What do we need on these dark autumnal nights? A video looking through brightly coloured (and mostly orange) cars of the NEC Classic Car Show courtesy of @grandthriftauto.bsky.social youtu.be/E7fgtRSAEps?... #WeirdCarBS

2nd Exasperation of the Evening: My friend texted me to say that her Vauxhall Adam refused to open the fuel filler flap. As I knew cars I was supposed to know what to do. She came round and I discovered to my disdain that the fuel flap was a "push-to-open" job, which now didn't open when pushed

Seriously how hard is it to find a decent protective phone case that doesn't pretentiously advertise that I have an iPhone, and is made decently and isn't made of cheap plastic. Have settled on this Aztec pattern "wood" case, which is very 1988. Will see if it can last...

Not only is this an excellent film, it features mine and @popup-breakdown.bsky.social cars. Go see it.

Might revisit once I have a career

You know, I am really not in the mood this week for obstinate French engined Dutch built Volvos, especially at 60mph on the A36

WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED OF THIS BEFORE

Exactly this. It was simply a rumour started by the Shadow Transport Secretary who just might have a vested interest in making us all panic. Yes, it is a risk, but I have seen nothing to suggest it is at any more risk of happening now than in the past 10 years.

This was after I had discovered someone at my uni daily drives a 2015 Daihatsu Copen

Legendary spots I happened across in Winchester yesterday!

Heroic efforts by @vhschloe.bsky.social today trying to get my Panasonic VZ200 to kick into life ahead of fitment to the Starion. We tried but could not get the cassette mechanism to work nor any sound.. Still, it looks like the car in question needs a new slave cyl now, so bigger fish it would seem

www.ebay.com/itm/26730120... Oh hello...

One of the only French cars I actually like enough to want to own, these just look so incredibly right. I know I should be all over French cars, but weirdly I have always struggled to out and out adore them, and I just don't know why tbh

Hartge of Darkness Ok it is not a car and its not phonetically the same but just go with me, it is easier for everyone 😉

I so would for just £30k. I am a student though so getting £30k feels like trying to sustain nuclear fusion

Rally car innit

We are all sharing in the jealousy! Only @grandthriftauto.bsky.social knows the real pain behind owning/restoring one. As you can see in this video. 🤣 youtu.be/X87GB4fT6uM?...

Right, I think I ought to have a brief catch up, so that people who have lost contact with me since the Great Twitter Collapse are up to speed on my antics over the past year or so. This thread will be Part 1, August 2024-Jan '25, I will do another one when I have more energy.

Interesting Lidl spot tonight, next time someone makes a joke about Lancias rusting...

Well well guess I finally decided to get my arse into gear and start tracking down the old network. Was lovely to see the old #WeirdCarTwitter bunch at Rustival, so hoping I can re-establish contact with everyone. Do I need another distraction? Probably not, but life could do with a spruce up...
