Dear Alfa Romeo, what the fuck is this?! I mean, I understand that it’s the graphic from the badge, but WHAT THE FUCK.

Absolutely appalling. Imagine having to explain it to everyone who sees your new car.

Someone seriously needs to buy this ST170. I had one 12yrs ago, absolutely brilliant to drive, enough power for fun and a sweet sweet gearbox. This is the best colour, 87k, loads of history and work and is only £1,745!

And then today they bring out the Focus ST Edition as (I’m guessing) a swan song to the Focus ST. If the previous blue ST Edition is anything to go by, this is going to be absolutely spectacular to drive.

Have to say, Toyota are absolutely killing it these days. New 4Runner looks ace, Landcruiser is cool af, new Prius may be one of the best looking family cars on sale today and the GR86 is the perfect small sports car. 👏

Finally got round to trying the ‘world famous’ Bruce from get-baked.co.uk

This is a quarter of one slice, it’s huge. And….. meh. Honestly it was massively disappointing for me. The cake was super dense and the ganache, though delicious, was just way too much. It was…

I don’t think Ford Motor Company gets enough appreciation for the fact that it’s the only company still not just selling, but actively developing a manual, RWD coupe with a naturally aspirated V8. And all for under £60k.

Quick weekend project, building a DIY platform next to the shed. Will be great to have space to build stuff, nice and level, easy to clean etc. Need to build some steps and finishing etc, but pretty chuffed with that for 14hrs work!

Two days, two fucking wasps lying in wait for me when I get up in the morning. Thankfully on day one I didn’t need to sit on the loo, and I noticed on day two before pumping out some face wash!

Lots of responses to the previous Tesla tweet saying it’s outrageous to replace three windscreens in 300,000 miles. Is it really so unusual to replace a windscreen in 100,000 miles?

I didn’t think it was, but plenty, seemingly in the US thinks it’s weird.

This is a real world experience that spanners like the Daily Fail and Express can’t deny. EVs aren’t perfect, but this is absolutely outstanding. I had a rental Model3 for two weeks/1000miles with 57k on it and it felt like brand new inside. People really need to throw their…

Latest FB Marketplace find - sideboard given to the mum of the person selling as a wedding gift, 76yrs ago! Absolute bargain at £50.

I’ll gently sand it back and lovingly restore it to its former glory and will live on in our house 😁👍

No chintzy up cycling here.
