70s & 80s music, new wave, classic cars, obscure music,retro stuff....(The irony isn't lost on me that despite my username, the car is a Suzuki Swift GTI)

Part and parcel of owning a car with soul bud. It's a person...character...you forgive their foibles because you know the alternative is owning a soulless modern box.

Always fun. Did that in a Ford Mondeo diesel once and managed to get from Whitby to Scarborough with the needle off empty. Astonishing car.

I had one of these. They are sublime. And nothing grips the road like a Scooby. Fast, 4wd, comfortable and safe. Unicorn of a car.

Fantastic album from the Thompson Twins. Sister of Mercy is outstanding .Summed up 1984. Also Blue Rondo a la Turk's album Chewing the Fat. 1982 album but still brilliant. Klactoveesedstein is some tune.

He is a petrol head like me but we clearly operate at different ends of the spectrum. He swapped a Tesla for a McLaren and his weekend car is a 911. Mine is Genevieve, the Ford Cougar πŸ˜‚

Can't take the credit for this one..my friend called me a while back and said I've got rid of my Tesla and replaced it. I asked what did you buy? Many guesses later, I was very wrong. This is what he bought. Impressive stuff. This was not on my bingo card lol!

That's Ray-Ban down the chute too. How to alienate people 101. Great business model.

I've just written them all down and it turns out in 36 years of driving, I've had 71 cars...that's insane. Oh dear...

Excellent choice of car. That little 1.3 engine is a peach to 8000 rpm. Good effort sir.

Car pictures....washed, valeted, better. The sound is also just lovely. I do love this car very much and hopefully it's coming to meet you all at FOTU.

I had a 95 Probe 24v and it was immense. I currently own a Ford Cougar V6 which is also immense. Love them.

Anyone going to FOTU this year? I'm going and it'll be my 6th in a row, this time showing Genevieve off in the classics section.

Different level shithousery this from the Lib Dems...v funny though. Either genius hoodwinking or genuinely no one has a timekeeping device.
