Also yellow paint and steelies suggests this was a BT1 police spec. Very nice.

Great colour. All the ones I see here are silver automatics.

Better than an F-type? I dunno…

Hell yeh, it’s a cool design. I’m a big Michèle Mouton fan.

If laptop I would probably suggest a Mac - a secondhand MacBook Pro with any of the M series chips would do the trick, can probably be had for less than 500 quid. I have used davinci to edit a 4k vid on my m2 MacBook Air and it ate it up.

Slight existential crisis as I realize all my avatar / profile pics across all websites are a picture of this car…

By lil Clio, we had some good times together. Hopefully the new owner has as much fun as I did!

My last pic of my beloved Clio, loaded up with spare parts and driving away with its new owner. It’s blue with the white gordini stripes.

Clearly this was a heist masterminded by a genius.

You’ll be surprised when it’s being reliable!

I like the way the sunroof tried to exit the vehicle when traveling at over 150km/h*

For context grays is where shitboxes and ex mining cars go to get turned into parts cars…

What on earth did this poor MGB GT do to deserve this fate? Looks like a pretty straight example albeit dodgy paint in some parts.

Obviously the quad. I have heard they are surprisingly reliable…

Gti only in Aus, with the lackluster 128kw 1.6 prince. They are probably all scrapped now. The 208s are going the same way currently- so few were sold, and no shops want to work on French cars so they end up knackered on the auction sites.

I'm feeling like a TR7 V8 today.

Actual hoverboards would have been cool too.

Yeh, I bought a gen 5 and gen 7 iPods last year for my wife and son, modded them out with bigger batteries and ssd hdd and they love them. My wife can listen to music on the bus without being tempted to doom scroll, and my son can fall asleep to music on a device with no internet.

Apple is missing a trick by not releasing a new iPod with headphone jacks, physical controls and support for hi def audio. Premium DAPs are in vogue again but they are mainly all touchscreen android devices with mega powerful dacs and crap battery life.

Well you made me go looking on carsales. Found an automatic with 42000km on it in pristine condition, complete with 90s sub box in the boot!
