Good to see examples of 1980s rivals, Renault 5 Supercinq and Peugeot 205, still in daily use. IMHO the styling of the 205 seems to be somehow fresher than the Renault, but both are very impressive as 40 year-old cars. #weirdcarbs #Carbluesky

#weirdcarBS You’re welcome!

The garage owner says this lovely brown #Alfa 159 Sportwagon is being prepared for its biannual “Contrôle Technique” It’s probably a good thing that the owner chose the “Garage des Anges” (Garage of the Angels) for the job. #weirdcarBS #Carbluesky

Ford Streetka in late winter sunshine. Ventimiglia, Italy. #weirdcarBS #CarBluesky

A very rare sighting: Alfa Romeo SZ taking a highway exit - with matching street furniture. Credit to my wife for the photo. #weirdcarBS #Carbluesky

Out driving on the Mimosa road in Provence, I was pleased to spot this Renault R4 van in a very suitable mimosa yellow. #weirdcarbs #Carbluesky

As royals, businessmen and government officials across Europe are subjected to police investigations because of ties to Epstein, it’s reassuring that the DOJ found that no powerful men in the US were at all involved with him…. #epstein

A rare sight these days: Fiat Uno appropriately parked in front of the Italian consulate in Nice. #weirdcarbs #carbluesky

IYKYK #weirdcarBS

Market day in France. Citroen C15 and Renault Express ready to be loaded. #weirdcarbs #CarBlueSky

Post a banger that isn’t in English. m.youtube.com/watch?v=TMcy...

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that there’s no birdshit on this car. #weirdcarBS

This is the first #Renault 4 E-tech that I have spotted in the wild. I quite like it, although the rear three-quarter view looks a little bit clumsy. #WeirdcarBS #CarBluesky.

One for sorrow, two for joy …! It’s not often that you see one Peugeot 1007 these days, never mind 2! #weirdcarBS #carbluesky

Posting a car picture I took.

Dying model… tobacconist and newsagent in Nice, #France.

I had a New Year’s walk by the sea at Roquebrune, which I loved for the view of Monaco…. but mainly for this Fiat Abarth 500, parked by the Eileen Gray house.🤨 #weirdcarBS #Fiat

Some cards actually found me! Thank you.

Analog Cybertruck. #weirdcarBS #CarBluesky

Spent a happy New Year’s afternoon assembling a VW bus-themed jigsaw puzzle with the family. #WeirdcarBS #CarBluesky

I think this is my rarest and strangest spot of the year. It’s the Cirelli 1, by the storied Italian Carozzeria… err…. Cirelli Motor Company. It seems to be a rebadged Chinese import, available in gasoline or LPG versions. #weirdcarBS #CarBluesky

Normally Series Land Rovers are photographed axle-deep in mud. Given that it is a Santana model here, the palm tree seems quite appropriate! #weirdcarBS #CarBlueSky

I can’t offer a partridge in a pear tree… but here’s a pair of festive Fiats! Happy Christmas to all who celebrate. #weirdcarBS #CarBluesky

I used to be very dismissive of round-robin letters at Christmas but this year I thought I would send one myself. So, anyway, here’s my lookback at 2025!

I think my local tire repair and service shop is the coolest I know. #weirdcarBS #Carbluesky #nice

Should I be enjoying my coffee even more than usual? #italy #coffee

Even in Italy you don’t see so many Italian cars any more, so I thought it was worth recording sightings of a pair of Lancias and 3 other Italians parked together. #weirdcarBS

I expect these old Peugeots are a pig to drive, but I think I’d feel pretty cool cruising through the French countryside in one! #weirdcarsBS #CarBluesky

A cheery Beetle for a winter’s day. You’re welcome! #weirdcarBS #CarBlueSky

I like to go to small town Italian cafés where you can get an excellent cappuccino and a read of the local newspaper, and it rarely costs more than €1.70. Now I’ve found the solution to never having change - I stopped at the local bank and got a roll of coins😊

If you peered into a French farm courtyard a few years ago, you used to be sure to find a practical but quirky 2CV or R4 quietly rusting in the corner. Looks like the series 1 Renault Twingo has taken over the job. #weirdcarBS #CarBluesky

1950’s Oldsmobile slowly reverting to nature far from home! #weirdcarsbs #carbluesky

Siblings from another mother! An unlikely pairing of a Chevrolet Camaro convertible and a Renault Mégane Cabriolet in matching yellow body work with black roof. #WeirdcarBS #carbluesky

Seeing this smart Mondeo (lovely interior) in the autumn sun makes me nostalgic for the 1990s, when I lived in Milan and drove around in a Mondeo station wagon with 3 kids on the back seat. #weirdcarBS #Carbluesky

Sad day! After 55 years & 15 million cars, Ford are stopping production of cars at their Saarlouis factory in Germany. 1,700 of 2,700 jobs to go. Tip of the iceberg for the German auto industry? #CarBluesky

It being November, it seems a good excuse to get out some photos of cars in autumn tints. #weirdcarbs #Carbluesky

In a mad moment, decided to buy a rundown house in my neighborhood, so unexpectedly packing up my old auto books. It’ll be a few months and a shed load of money before I can get them back on the bookshelves. It’s a good reminder that I should actually read them from time to time! #WeirdcarBS

They’re both 60’s icons & they’re both blue and white…. but they couldn’t be more different🤷‍♀️ #weirdcarBS #CarBluesky

My neighbor who daily-drives an MGB has finally cracked now that November is here and put the hood up. I added a couple of top-down photos from summer. #weirdcarbs #Carbluesky

Some Bauhaus loveliness: a Porsche 914 in front of a 1960’s apartment block. #WeirdcarBS #CarBluesky

They’re spring colors really…. but even in autumn the Renault 8S and Austin-Healey Sprite look fabulous. Bonus points for the hub caps (or nave plates) on the A-H. #weirdcarBS #CarBluesky

Spotted these two lovely Alfa Romeos today. I managed to get a photo of the column gear change on the Sprint. #weirdcarBS #CarBluesky

Very pleasing to see a Méhari being used as a proper workhorse. Though the load seems big enough to test even #Citroën legendary suspension. #weirdCarBS #CarBlueSky

Not so many north European tourists bring their classic cars to the Mediterranean by the second half of October, so it was nice to see this Swiss-registered Mercedes 350SL in Italy. #weirdcarBS #CarBlueSky

Lovely Toyota LiteAce street parked in Perpignan, France. Chrome and whitewalls!! #weirdcarBS #CarBluesky

Albert - owner of the Aiguës-Mortes Auto museum - proudly showed us each of his cars in turn, opening the doors, lifting the hoods. A self-taught mechanic, he did all the restoration work himself. He also claimed to be 90. Quite a character! Mainly older cars, but some moderns too. #weirdcarBS

Calling #weirdcarBS!

I can’t think when I last saw a Fiat Coupé. Chris Bangle’s controversial design still looks quite fresh. #weirdcarBS #CarBluesky #FIAT

Today on the blog, the year is 847 and the Frankish world is in turmoil. Can three Carolingian brothers stop plotting against each other for long enough to do some much needed firefighting? Find out as they have a little family get together. #medievalsky salutemmundo.wordpress.com/2025/10/02/f...
