Is that a car or a house?

I wonder if anyone has ever retro-fitted a flat four over the years? VW, Alfa, Subaru, could all be contenders πŸ™‚

I never understood why people argue about whether old or new music is better. Amazingly (to some) it's actually possible to love both.
Just stop getting hung up on what others tell you to like, choose the music that makes you happy and enjoy it. Sod labels and sod the pigeonholes! ❀️

I think it's time.

I've been bikeless for far too long, I need something beer-money cheap and moped licence-friendly fifty to hoon about on and do silly things with. Something like my old Honda Vision "Army Bike" would be spot on.

Anyone got or know of anything?

I'm usually pretty up on my Japanese metal but this is throwing me a bit. Is it a Stagea?
Unfortunately the link doesn't work here in the UK. Thanks.

I find it a pretty good indicator actually. If they say they're still on X, or more likely they'll say twitter, then chances are they're a wrong 'un and I can avoid 'em 😊

Subaru - "Let's be friends"

I see what you did there..... 😊

I'm not sure if these proposals are Soviet or Reich-like, but either way they are Draconian - "If you say anything against Our Dear Leader you will be refused entry or locked up!"
Looks like my dreams of visiting the USA for Bonneville Speed Week or to drive the PCH have gone away forever. Gutted 😒

A quick question for all you lovely car types out there:

What would you say is the best jump starter pack for diesel engines?

My Dad had a V4 95 when we were little 'uns and I'd have one myself now. Unfortunately they appear to be constructed of 100% unobtanium...

No, they are crazy money aren't they? I love the concept, too. I think what planted the seed was seeing a bit about a Wood & Pickett Mini on Blue Peter when I was a kid.

This whole series is bringing back memories of walking past a metallic blue one on the way to school every morning & thinking to myself, "Ooh, there's a me-sized car!" 😁

That window line looks almost 911-ish but that's so not HubNut! The trim fabric looks Ford-esque though....

This makes me smile. I'm not personally able to get an EV (only 6 chargers in the whole town and I live in a rented flat) but my brother has one & loves it.
I could do a hybrid for commuting though, and save my petrol for some weekend backlanes fun.

US defaultism strikes again 🀦 That and a heel-digging refusal to listen to new information.

As far as I remember they had the 60/40 split seats from day one on all but the cheap models. If it had the flush glass headlights, it had the split bench. If it had the LUB434 sealed beams, it had a one piece backrest.
Mind, I was just a hyper nerdy 10 yr old when it launched, so...

Ooh, do I spy a Nissan Prairie right at the back there? Much slidey-door goodness ❀️

That would be almost as crazy as me pulling my finger out and actually getting myself a moped! 😜

We got there about 0930h and we're there 'til about 1600. My Good Lady's first day watching live racing and to my surprise, she loved it!
Quarry was pretty packed today, wasn't it? Must remember to bring a chair & some shade next time! 😁
