RIP to Martin Parr, who photographed this classic

I'm definitely not cool enough for Harajuku.

Pajero Junior alert!

Anyone else remember when every scrap yard had one of these in this colour sat in it, only a few years after they were brand new? A rare survivor of a car you could drive out of the showroom for £1.

For sale in Auckland

Obscure group B car alert

This is very important knowledge. It should be in the driving test.

This little Fiesta, owned since I was 17 and only sold it in 2023 when money got very tight for a short while. It still exists but is now sat in a shed with a blown engine and the interior all dog chewed since it left my hands.

QOTD: What car have you owned the longest? I had the TSX wagon for seven years.

Either this Toyota Corona or Toyota Starlet Carat, both of which I had for mere hours before shifting them on for a profit simply because their air con worked and i bought them both on very hot days.

To be fair to them the B5 A4 was an absolutely cracking car.
They have the best door cards in history as the shape at the top is perfect for resting your elbow on while holding the wheel on a long journey. Never driven a better car in that one respect.

Same! I think this is a case of you either know what it is or you really really don't and don't have much hope in guessing.

Post your warning label:

One of those cars I regret selling. It was a New Zealand (Nelson) built car. So much better built than the early Solihull built car I had here a few years back - shown here under a cat piss tarp because it would leak everywhere.

Other than the speedo drive failing and getting pulled over for speeding as a consequence twice, I couldn't think of a better way to spend a couple of months driving around mountains, lakes and rainforests

Post facelift obvs

I drove all over New Zealand in that interior, the views outside the windows were only slightly better. The glorious Rover SD1

I figured out the exact problem with your car. Check out the image below for more info

Chrysler PT Cruiser Van 2.2 CRD 29-11-2004 86-BR-NV Junkyard Pijffers Broekland NL 2012

Today, I learned that Chrysler sold a van version of the PT Cruiser in The Netherlands. It was a classic case of exploiting tax loopholes. The rear hatch was redesigned to increase the interior volume to meet the van regulations.

Arguably the oddest-looking Suzuki of its era was the short-lived, Japan-only 3rd-generation Cervo kei car. The 1988 brochure featured sections of rather bizarre English text: 'Wow, look at this rear styling! Don't you just want to hug it... Suzuki sure knows what every girl wants'. #weirdcarbs

I'm sure this has been hanging around for sale for about 3 years now. That paperwork must be really easy for it to be unregistered for that long.

Autumn chores and autumn fun

Start your Sunday off with some top tier factory shots. Look at all those V12s! #weirdcarbs

The 1966 FNM Onça coupe was a variant of the FNM 2000 sedan - an Alfa Romeo 2000 built under licence in Brazil - built for several years until Alfa bought FNM in 1968. The coupe was FNM’s own work, however, albeit heavily influenced by the Ford Mustang.

Dustbuster!

I have a space, I have the money and the skills to repair it but am currently exceedingly time poor, which is a real shame as I desperately want it.
