Guess who learned that Birmingham’s clean air zone resets at midnight and isn’t a 24 hour rolling day. Swear they’ve changed the site wording since we paid for the original clean air travel pass. Guess it’s worth getting this printed and framed as it’s cost £60

Fresh test beanies have arrived 😎

As someone has requested a way to replace their incredibly well worn tee, these will be on the site till the end of the year for anyone wishing to grab one. www.takona.co.uk/products/tlk...

3D printed cup holder designed specifically to the original 93 air vent knobs 👌🏻

Well isn’t that lovely

International Men’s Day. If nothing else it’s a reminder to check in with the men in your life, just a brief chat, a casual catch up, or even letting them know you’ve thought about them. Men often feel isolated, alone, or unthought of, the stigma is changing, but it’s still got a ways to go.

PSA please don’t put your stickers on other people’s cars, especially without asking. This one has left all of its glue behind 🙃

This years RoR was one filled with ups and downs, overcoming challenges, teamwork, and camaraderie. The true spirit of motorsport and something we’re proud to be a part of. Full write up coming soon, catching up on sleep first.

3D printed cup holder for the Saab has arrived 😎

Being overtaken by a pair of LFA’s on a rainy Welsh dual carriageway wasn’t on my bingo sheet for the weekend, but what a treat.

A few quick and dirty pictures of German machinery from this morning’s @takona.co.uk Coffees & #Cars meet in Sawbridgeworth. #classiccars #Audi #BMW #Porsche #Volkswagen

One of these is a smart and stylish way to traverse Europe in comfort. The other is a Bentley

An evening of tinkering and the steam deck is running GT4 to the tv and the Gamester Dual Force wheel is now working with the steam deck. This might be more fun than actually playing the games.

Right car right tee

These have been surprisingly popular this week. So of course the vinyl plotter stopped working and its replacement has required a degree to understand the software / settings. Yet we persevere and stickers are heading out the door.

A quick post for a quick offer. Pre-production fleece and quarter zip are half price till we get our test pieces (likely next Friday) We’re confident in the embroidery and print capabilities, it’s always a stylistic tweak that gets made. On the homepage already if your fancy one.

An unexpected treat on a mooch round London yesterday.

Clothing can say a lot without you having to. Ours says ITS OK TO TLK. Takona was built from car culture. From late nights in garages, weekend meets, and the conversations that happen around cars. The moments where people open up without even realising it. That’s where this all started.

Stickers on race cars 😎

Small gift from a local council van this morning. Fortunately when it bounced out the back it went under the car and didn’t hit it. Some sort of cap for a tube by the looks of it.

Coffees, Cars, Conversation, Convoy, C(k)arts, and Clubsport (motorsport doesn’t work for the alliteration) The mental health day coffees and cars mixed things up a bit with a ride from Gasoline Juice down to Silverstone for a car meet alongside the motorsport.

What a very special treat to receive a hand painted Hot wheels GT86 of our very own car. This one even has 3D printed 3 spoke wheels!

World mental health day, if nothing else it’s a reminder to stop and check in with yourself and those close to you. Life can be pretty busy, we can miss the signs, if you don’t chose when to take a break, the choice gets made for you and it’ll never be at the right time.

Those joining us for the northampton coffees and cars this Sunday, we’ll be having a little drive down to Silverstone for Carnatters Car meet and motorsport for world mental health day. We’ll be at Gasoline juice around 9:30 then heading off at 11, you’ll need a Carnatter Ticket for Silverstone.

Local shopping centre has a photo on the wall of how it used to look. Which car would you take home?

Didn't take many pictures/photos today the @takona.co.uk cars and coffee meet but I thought I'd share this absolute stunner of a Rover with you 😮❤️

We’ve been a bit quiet lately, to be quite honest it’s because there’s a few too many things pulling on the attention span, projects, videos, ideas, they take bandwidth. We did however get to change a light board at spa to say Its Ok To Tlk.

Have been playing with an idea. A little torn between whether this needs to be simpler and bolder prototype camo, or whether to keep it matching the car.

Spotted an Audi A5 avant this morning and can’t help but wonder why it exists?

How’s that for a collab. www.takona.co.uk/products/mar...

Lovely turnout for Sawbridgeworth coffees and cars yesterday.

An box of samples has arrived 😎

Drove a long way to see some old cars go round in circles 👌🏻

Top tier car, top tier plate.

Fresh arrival of stickers to be included with clothing orders going forward.

Making it into the local news for the Cab4Cancer trip 😎

A fine addition to the saaabs 6 CD multi changer.

Things you find in old record / cd shops

Another day, another top tier numberplate

Passed the pinnacle of private plates this morning. AUD1 on a dark grey RS6

traffic seems awful in france today

Went to Bristol today to visit the university for the first of many open days for my eldest. But spotted this sculpture while walking round the city for suicide prevention awareness.

Aha! Le Mans 24hr is on Quest TV in the UK, from 2pm, if you’re looking for a way to watch without giving a kidney to a company to do so.

@takona.co.uk 😉

A lovely way to spend a Sunday, with good mates, watching good racing. Made even better by being invited to have VIP access with one of the teams.

Lovely trip to to Great Northern Classics with JDM Performance UK for @takona.co.uk More photos here photos.app.goo.gl/U4AhE4CR9Jfd... #jdm #carsandcoffee #carmeet #cars ##itsoktotlk

This Aygo and its OEM looking centre exhaust lives rent free in my head.
