Pointing out bad special effects in old TV and film just means your imagination has failed. It's not a clever observation.

Anyone on #WeirdCarTwitter interested in a 40k mile Tigra with a not quite broken roof mechanism? It is actually far from tat and presents well. 1400 quid, asking for a friend. autotrader.co.uk/car-details/20…

jim Rustival The Dodo is famous, but you never see it. Hiluxes of this era may be indestructible but there aren't exactly many left in this country, and there's probably only one guy who could be bothered to restore it and he was rightly recognised for his efforts where no other place would

Ok #WeirdCarTwitter. Classic cars and collections: what do you want from your insurance, and how would you be wanting to find out about it? Stepping things up now at Park Insurance Classic Cars and looking for some inspiration. Ofc if you have something that needs insuring, drop me a line

I checked in with my Bangladeshi neighbours. They gave me food. We make them cakes and biscuits, they make us curry. This is neighbourly. This is community. This is how we build safe places for our children to live. This is what it means to be British ❤️
