This vid is worth watching, a BBC report from the 70s about the first Hyundai factory and the chap hired to get things running. youtu.be/cz3zJORvntE

If in doubt, Rallye everything

Those bolt on panels basically make unmarked cars marked, as do the bare steel wheels and the spotlight.

It wouldn't be CES without a vehicle designed to murder its owner

Element with some wheels doing things.

When this 1975 souvenir brochure from the Electric Railroaders Association fan trip on the South Brooklyn Railway arrived in our archive, we had a feeling Jeff might know something about it. For this #WhatsNewInTheArchive, Elise is joined by Jeff Erlitz who remembers that trip like it was yesterday!

Next up, a few from the Yashica (pictured with the Reto), shot at 125 on expired (2006) Fuji 200 film. This camera has a few light leaks though taping the thing up half way through the roll seems to have worked as a temporary fix. This one's nice and sharp too.

When I said that modern BMW steering systems felt dead, this isn't quite how I wanted them to add 'life' to those:

#DidYouKnow that double-decker buses briefly ran on #NYC streets in the 1970s? This #NYTMCollection photo shows a Leyland double-decker bus in Midtown #Manhattan. Though double-decker buses were common in the first half of the 20th century, they were retired from service in 1954.

First time I spotted the new lucid minivan/crossover/thing

Proud mother watching her little one prepare to take flight!

This vid by Syd ( @saab.bsky.social ) is worth taking the time to watch, she talks about creativity from her perspective as a photographer. youtu.be/-HBrtl98nGM

The Opel Signum you have at home. For reference: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opel_Si...

Throwback to the bagged 928 we featured in Issue 2. We’ve still got a few copies left, grab ’em while you can - copaceticmagazine.co.uk/shop/single-...

I saw one of these in Chicago a few years ago, whilst getting a bus between terminals at O'Hare. And I was somewhat exited, as it’s something I’d never expect to see, I had a similar level of interest when seeing Ford Contours. (For context it was my first and likely only time in the US)

I used to watch MTV2, mostly in the middle of the night where the playlist seemed to be eclectic. youtu.be/m0hVxj_2inY

my new (to me) cayman

Unfortunately, I did not get to talk to the owner of this NX2000 with a Pulsar GTI-R front end to find out how much else had been swapped over…

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, pearl jam, soundgarden, or Alice In Chains.

Actually, the first series of the W201 had 2 front wipers, see the tiny secondary one here

I wrote much less this year than I've written in the past five, so there's not a whole lot to revisit. This piece, though, I still think is probably the best article I've ever written, even if it was a dumb professional move to write it [free to read] www.patreon.com/posts/empero...

Here’s something somewhat random, an episode of Top Gear from 1979 dedicated to testing off road vehicles on a tank course. The first car in the lineup is the green Subaru that’s in the thumbnail.

Lord save me from these self-hating fucks

I'm afraid I can offer no explanation for this curious Greek breeze #WeirdCarBS

#carspotting from the grocery run this AM. I haven't seen the second-gen Touareg in a long time, so it was deffo a pleasant surprise. Same re the fairly well-kept Safari Storme 400. It was Tata's best effort with the car and it showed.

it's crazy to use AI in CONCEPT ART bcuz it will never be able to CREATE its own CONCEPTS. so not only are you saying you're too lazy to pay someone or to do the work yourself, you're also saying your okay with building all of your shit on unoriginal ideas and almagamation of existing work.

About an hour or so of Soulwax remixes, might require a vpn or whatnot to listen to outside of the UK.

John Deere didn't deserve that '90s country banger. That company ain't no good. www.instagram.com/reel/DSdlEOc...

Whilst folks in the US are saying goodbye to the ID.Buzz it’s still very much available in the UK. But it’s got a new rival in the form of the significantly cheaper Kia PV5 (pretty much half the price). This little vid is worth a look, more of an overview than an in depth review. #ItsVanTime

Pick ups?

A bagged C5 Corvette with 470whp, 19” BBS E88s and hand controls. Read all about it in Copacetic 4. In shops now, or order direct: copaceticmagazine.co.uk/product-cate...

TRRAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNS

More Autocar archive. Always liked this 2001 test of all the stuff you could get under £10k. Fairly diverse - city cars, superminis, MPVs, baby hot hatches, quite a spread of manufacturers. Just went through price lists and lemme tell you, it's difficult to assemble that many cars today...

For reference, Porsche Smeg is the sticky substance you find under the radiator cap when your 944 has blown a headgasket

ofc this is written by the dude who declared that we'd reached peak human society via... American democracy. man's been cooked since 1992

rewriting a more realistic script for The Lord of the Rings. Frodo just stays home and we watch thirteen hours of him cooking meals and reading books. every hour or so he glances at a newspaper and goes, "Oh shit what's happening in Rohan? That's fucked." Then he goes to the pub to drink with Sam.

Absolutely killer sunset tonight

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...

I once worked alongside UX and UI designers responsible for human interactions with ADAS. They had no licenses and had never driven cars with ADAS. It took me 8 months of political chicanery to get a few cars in for me to *drive them around in* so they could see the systems in action.

slicing a cake at this angle is known as "the beeching cut"

GTA‘s cars were better when they weren’t as inspired from their real world counterparts, and i’ll die on that hill

AHOY THERE! SHOT ACROSS THE BOW

Odd, my muted words list has been cleared on the website version of Bluesky but it’s fine on the app. Also, I can’t add any words via the website. A quick search suggests this is a known issue.
