I have two. The first is all white, with Quasar graphics and normal matchbox wheels. The second is this one with a weird colourway, that somehow it still pulls off.

Hmmm... on aggregate, Denmark has a lower cost of living than the UK, and costs for "20 mins from the capital by regular train" and "That's a long way away" aren't so different...
Once my house in Corby has finally sold, another international move is becoming more tempting.

Watching @hubnut.bsky.social’s Ford Ka Mk2 collection vid, and wondering if I should have scrapped one of my black diesel Yaris post ‘Ring trip in 2007.
They might have been slightly cooked and were replaced with EBC Greenstuff (a big deal in 2007) and grooved and dimpled discs.

It’s all boring white German PCP hatchbacks around me, so I’d forgotten how cool it was to see a really unusual street spot. 👍

Err, yeah, my degree and then 6 years of work before I was lured away from it by doubling my salary as a business consultant. 😬

“Flyover” America (away from the coasts) generally has parking spaces at an angle to the street that you drive into and reverse out of.
If you own a truck that size you
Vermillion, South Dakota, is a perfect example.

When my Yaris GRMN was new in 2018, people were all, “£26k? For a Yaris? No way will anyone spend £26k on a Yaris.”
Now that’s middle of the range Yaris money.
