Japan is the land of the weird car though, it’s no wonder

On the whole it's absolutely filthy, but with a bit of elbow grease, nearly a full complement of new screws and some paint I think this bass will scrub up well

Work has begun on the Hondo! Now it’s mostly stripped down except for the pickups- their screws are too soft with rust so may need a plan B for them πŸ˜…

I think they're Panda Mk2 trims, off an Active base model. And tbh it's been a good while since I saw any Seicento at all

That seems to be the thing, having laws ain't much use if the police can't, won't or don't enforce them

Question (for UK folks)- what’s the legality of a car being this dirty? The plate being obscured by filth seems like it would be a problem to me

Oof, that's gaudy as hell. It's a bit Louis Vuitton and I suspect the person who specced this has a wardrobe full of Louis

I like the black bonnet, but the rest is a bit much

The Strat’s not technically finished yet but it’s being put to the back of the queue, much more ambitious restoration incoming

They didn't get a sunroof for the first couple of years- one would have to go in through the boot

I think Unimogs are just a bit too expensive- and maybe a touch too big?- to really take off in such a scene

Ooh I got a good one. A good few years ago now, went to a garden centre which had a shed opposite the entrance. In the shed, blocked in only by the rotting husk of a 1997 Jeep Cherokee, was the bare shell of a BMW E9 3.0 CSi. They also had a 2001 Nissan Micra and 2000 Ford Transit in there though

I don't imagine the sort of troglodytes left there would be happy with any EV unless it's a Tesla- sorry you have to deal with them. Still, the 5 looks like a fabulous thing

The entire space these two take up would be too small to park anything in to the American mindπŸ˜†

And the year thing I truly don't understand. It happens a lot with imports, people listing the year it was brought to this country instead of the year it was actually built, but otherwise? Just look at the plate. Of course your 14-plate Audi A1 wasn't made in 2023, you must know that?

There's also another one that I question and it seems to be Autotrader-specific- listing either the wrong year or the wrong mileage. If you can't be bothered to proof-read the ad so it doesn't say that 67-plate Golf has done 8 million miles, I'm gonna assume you don't care

It's one of the biggest red flags IMO. Bad photos, no photos, no description at all... with the possible exception of covering the plates up (I always think that could be to hide something dodgy) it's one of the worst things a seller can do

02.03.2026 20:41 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

It tells me the seller either can't be bothered or doesn't have a clue. Either way, not someone I'd want to buy from

I played all the older ones up to 6, don't have anything to play 7 on but I've watched others play it and I can't decide how I feel about it

I do think some drivers overreact. They're the ones who don't want to be responsible though, and see anything that might prod them towards doing things right (be it speed cameras or pedestrianisation) as an attack on their freedom to drive like a moron

A mint Fourtrak? Never have I heard of such a thing, round here you'd think these left the factory in a state of terminal decay πŸ˜†
