Sounds like my local hardware store. Closed on Sundays which is when I always need it… end up going to the big box store instead which I’d always rather not!

Having seen the other guesses I have cheated.. holy moly. Given the history it’s clearly not had an easy life along the way either! Always wanted one - one of the few true “city cars”.

Such an honest car. If you could have one car ever again it would have to be a serious contender. <heads immediately to autotrader>

I think that sort of proves my point about the baseline though - sure, not 25C and sunny - but also no typhoons, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanoes, droughts etc etc. Enjoy the trip - fingers crossed for sunshine!

I have a general theory that because - on a global scale - *most* things are *quite* good in the UK, people don’t realize how good the baseline is. So there’s a general feeling that everything’s a bit rubbish, when really it’s the opposite.

That used to be quite a handsome car… car designers need to understand that more isn’t always more.

Is there another marque that ticks as many boxes as Audi…? Saloons, avants, Q’s, Quattros, RS1 to RS7, R8. Hard to think you couldn’t find what you need somewhere in there. Plus all that motorsport heritage.

A man in a red jacket is leaning into the open rear window of a Buick Roadmaster. The car is pointing away from us and the front left side door is slightly ajar.

Occasionally, if I’ve been very good, Home Depot will send a Buick Roadmaster out with my deliveries. I think I’d genuinely pay a surcharge to see it every time 😬

Modern car designers need to be made to stare at this until they acknowledge that this is good car design and that angry creases and chronic bloat are not!

Not really in any language to be fair… open.spotify.com/track/5JetV9...

Turbo R and the Viper. Quite like the fact that they really do not go together, and so actually make a great pair!

Quite an amusing moment for JLR to make an offer for Jeep, if for no other reason than seeing owners club Facebook pages spontaneously combust.

They won’t have been able to resist the 205, I think. Mazda loses… I’d have the Mini!

Today I saw an L405 RR on steel wheels and snow tyres. I want to have a beer the owner…

I’m kind of fascinated by this. Not sure if I’m stuck in the past but I’d still want an XJ 220 and have no interest in a Ferrari since the 355… Luckily supercar manufacturers don’t need to worry about my tastes!

F1 is ultimately a sport rooted in Europe and so doesn’t fit neatly into the US’s two party divide. But nevertheless hard to square a net zero target with the current red side.

I don’t know… Bob could have explicitly told Saab to not even dream of making one. They’d have nodded and then headed to the shed out the back to carry on making it.

I sincerely hope you’re quoting Mrs Doyle here!

I have both a 2016 and a 2019 car. Both have CarPlay but were designed around physical buttons. Think I’m going to try to keep them as long as I can!

I came across someone on IG the other day that’s done that. The need to charge overnight basically gives him license to camp all sorts of places

Clearest skies I’ve ever seen were out in a desert leaguer in Afghanistan.

I think a lot of the basic things in the world could be improved if we treated both food and money as school topics that are as important as maths and English.

As someone who grew up farming I cant bear food waste either. The sheer time and effort it takes to get food to the point of serving is insane. It always hurts when I drop ingredients and I feel like I’ve let them down at the final hurdle… 😬

Does working with meat like that make you more or less inclined to eat it? That looks like heaven to me, but wonder if having to work with it makes you want to go home and eat minted peas?

Not impossible but I don’t think it’s quite there. Was trying to figure out the door handle to mirror placement!

Actually quite close, I think?

My head went to Rover 2000, for the wheels but body not right for that.

Potentially uphill depending on where your piece of track was situated…?

East wing is particularly lovely.

Don’t you think?
