I'm positive this is Sadiq Khan's way of getting our old shitas off the road.

Buy them up for obscene amounts and make people who own slightly lesser models too scared to use them.

*This might not be true. But it's a possibility if you think about it.

The Build Your Dreams Yangwang U7.

You know and l know that it'll be labeled a YankWank in the UK.

Anyway, congratulations to BYD. I didn't think anyone could make a car sound more like a dildo than the VW ID. Buzz.

Go easy. ThIs PeRsOn Is SaViNg ThE pLaNeT oNe MiLe At A tImE.

Tried to make Oliver a dog. Looks more like a cat.......

Therefore l made Oliver a cat from scrap in the garage.

Bought a pair of those ramp extensions.

Not cheap considering a set of 2 ton ramps are available for £40. That said, these ramps, about 30 years old, cost me nothing.

My X1/9 is the only one on the Birdy Fleet of Broken Dreams that doesn't require them.

I still chuckle at this story in 3 pictures on the UK Seat Tarraco launch.

And I'm still not sorry for what happened next xx

IT IS HERE. NOTHING WILL NOW GET DONE.

The Eurovision CD has arrived. I now start the ritual of listening without knowing who is singing. That way, unlike most of Europe, l can base my judgement on the song and not the country.

#ESC2024

No Halfords you really don't.

That said, speaking of pairs, always uses 1 L.

Well that was a first. Decided to have a go at resealing a seized caliper on the X1/9. Easier than l thought.

And now I can't use it. Need a set of pads.

Ready Motor, 18th April 56.

The highlighted paragraph did make me laugh. It is true in some ways.

In the reviews the Beetle feel in and out of favour 5 years later. Yet it still continued to sell and sell and sell.

Devastated.

After 32 years, I've managed to use up this pack of rivets. Bought from I.W. Griffiths Ltd in Selsdon Rd, Croydon. It was the motorists shop of shops. At the time l had a Visa 10E and Alfasud GCL.

I wonder how much rivets cost now?

1938 and the arrival of the Cal-Look.

Herbie Goes SHOPPING.

Bit of a pants Wilt Dysentery reboot but its follow up; Herbie Gets Fuel is even more dire.

Many things still to sort.

This evening l am now broken. 5 hours fitting interior trim.

That said, very happy with the choice of burgundy seatbelts.

Also went mud plugging with Alex.

Impressive off-road ability from Subaru. You can see why farmers love em.

Spent the day with the new PR team for Subaru UK and looking at their current range in Harrogate. Home of Eurovision 1982. Nicole of Germany won.

Packed day. Only got to spend time with the Outback both on and off road.

We were told there would be something 'special' at the venue and Brian did not lie.

Sometimes it's good to meet your hero especially when they are BETTER than factory fresh.

I was dirty after seeing this and it wasn't from laying on the floor!
