It'll make it easy. Just might take a bit longer. I took EV02 BEV down to Goodwood from Essex when I had it. Took a few stops to charge, but I wasn't in a rush… (And must have that quick chat about your musings!) #Honda #EV #HondaE

I wouldn’t do business with anyone spelling motor ‘mota’…

I haven’t either. Always good reports from those I know who have. Would like to do Techno Classica one day but I think it’s been rebranded as Retro Classics now…

Have a good show! 50 years of the event and 50 years of the Golf #GTI display, too. One of my work buddies from Classic Cars magazine is off there tomorrow. #Retromobile

Blindly, when did anyone last see a MkI Jetta? #Retromobile trip? #VW #Volkswagen

Hot Wheels MG Metro 6R4 and Matchbox Opel Astra

Found the classic-liveried Metro online earlier this month for a not-extortionate price. (Oh, and a #Matchbox Astra locally.) #HotWheels #diecast

That’s really nice. And the engine is a cracker. More torque than the #GTI… #Volkswagen #VW

And I’m worrying about 106k on my similar-aged #Polo…

I was going to do this one just the other day. But resisted. Might be time, though, for it to join the other politically themed ones.

The #Polo and Fiesta may have been influenced by it, but which one has survived the longest… #VWPolo #Volkswagen

LinkedIn doesn't seem to get that I can't log into my account (hacked in December, and possibly again after a reset) yet keeps sending me ways to log in to my account to solve the issue…

Always check the car park Lidl edition #WeirdCarBS

This is our first ‘civilian’ one. First one was celebrities. But this is better; we thought it wouldn’t be as good. And makes me want to live in/visit the Highlands again!

I think you could see Stephen’s at one point last night… 👀

Compelling show, though. Even better than the celebrity version! #TraitorsUK

It was a VERY strange outfit. But between him and Matt’s short trousers and cardigans combo, it’s all quite odd.

VW's smallest cheapest GTI hot hatch dies soon. Will we miss it? | evo The Polo GTI is now Volkswagen’s smallest hot hatch and one of the last holdouts in its segment. Does it make more sense in a less crowded market?

The flagship Polo carried the Ranger name, and claimed to be 'extraordinarily well-equipped', featuring extra driving lights and roof bars (the latter oddly missing from the main picture). The Polo Ranger had a 1272cc 55bhp engine and fuel-saving 4+E gearbox.

Although superminis had moved on a lot during the '80s, VW still claimed the Polo was a game-changer and the benchmark for rivals to beat. Saloon and 'coupé' bodystyles were also available, but the estate-like hatchback was the staple seller, attracting a loyal repeat clientele.

Volkswagen's ageing Polo mk2 was well behind some competitors by the date of this 1989 UK brochure, but its unusual breadvan style and quality image kept sales buoyant. The new entry-level model was the 1043cc Fox, with distinctive 'starfish' wheel caps. #weirdcarbs

I ran a Honda e (same colour and spec perhaps!) during the summer of 2022 and absolutely loved it, ironically using it for longer journeys. Which it coped with admirably. A very fun thing. #EV #Honda
