I like that bravura and shall have me summadatt!
Courtesy of the Moulsdale Foundation, Glasgow, whose braided-piped embrace welcomed me on Sunday, jubilee-clipping me firmly in place for two hours of gawping and grinning as my inner 10 year old leapt out and ran giddily round the shiny things. Sigh.

Recommended. The collection is housed in a former e-sure call centre and there’s 2/3 more that they rotate. I’d no idea it was there until I stumbled over it in a Google search last week. Interesting foundation.

Just 4 to tease you with for now. Recommend a visit to see this collection for yourself. Superb variety on show, with a healthy lean into 70s-90s rally legends today. Open days last Sunday of each month. Approx 1/3 of collection on display at a time. My wee 10 year old’s brain is reeling tonight🀩

Nascels and spotlights are one of the additions i have always loved most about rally cars. Stunning array of wonders today at the Moulson Foundation outside Glasgow. Think @creatinglightly.art might need a wee trip for research-many homologation specials to pour over. @thealso.bsky.social ever been?

How to turn a big room full of half century cynics back into teenage hopefuls. Friends Again at Old Fruitmarket, Glasgow enjoyed with lifelong friends in a 1980s glow. What a night. Thank you Messers Thomson, Grant, McIntyre, McGeechan et al xxx

Justice re-listening to this and musing as to how awsome it would sound as a James Grant & Fraser Spiers cover. Beautiful stuff from Darden Smith

When the β€˜B’ in BMW stood for beautiful. 635CSi front 3/4 view from wing-height, double headlamps staring confidently ahead, flanking a slim, understated and, yes, classy double-kidney signature, all sloping backward to draw the leading edge of that swooping bonnet two inches closer to the horizon.

Peugeot 205 2dr β€œGreen” special edition in white in mint condition with all standard wheel trims, body coloured bumpers with green piping, factory fitted sunroof. Pure 1988 on 4 wheels. Where are my kid-on Ray-bans?

Simply, the ultimate expression of French class and effortless style - Citroen SM Decapotable. Shimmering silver this shot is rear offside 3/4 with roof dropped revealing sumptuous black leather that wouldn’t look out of place in Serge Gainsborough’s lounge. Achingly, knucklebitingky cool.

A slice of heaven was served up to me on Saturday with a visit to the Bilmuseum in Berlin. A collection of restorers and dealers in a converted warehouse with pub on site. It’s a 100% recommendation from me, folks🍺🚘🌭🀩

I don't think anyone would want to ask me, sadly, but do know that sharing my knowledge is one of my favourite things ever.

If you ever wanted to ask me anything about my art or advice for yours, take this as your green light to go ahead.

Would love to read and see art from you!

Jim very generously gave me a wee shot of the Lane car as it passed through Edinburgh on its direct (?) route to the museum. Made my Mazda feel ponderous and profligate.
Then chatted with a lovely lady in Osaka who let me snap her S660. She said it made her smile every drive. Gotta agree. I loved it

As if that wasn’t injury enough, it was replaced by an aubergine Ford Escort 1.4LX 5 door hatch that remains to this day the very worst car I have ever run.

Red Mark 3 Volkswagen Golf GTi parked on road and photographed from a low angle, 3/4 view facing right. Pictured on a bright sunny day with trimmed grass and hedges in the far distant background, against a warm haze blue sky.

1994 VW Golf GTi 3door in Red. Finished my 3 month probation in new design job, rewarded with this 2yr old company car. Picked up from dealer. Drive to office and parked. 7.5 tonner driver asks 5 mins later, β€œerm…whose golf is that outside?”
