Old BMW and Lotus fan. On the drive: BMWs E28 M5 "Red5" aka “Barn-Stormer”, F11 520d, E46 318ci, VW T6 camper and Elan+2 race car. In the paddock, Ruby the Nuffield 460
Evening Bob. Loving the show as ever.
Diamond or Monkees?
Monkees get my vote for having such a cool ride!

#FOTU fans: anyone in vaguely the east midlands with a FOTU-suitable car able to spare a couple of hours at some point in the next couple of weeks (and don't mind potentially bringing it out while the weather's a bit crap)?

I don't post here much but maybe some of my followers will have seen that Heather - @veedubhev.bsky.social's beloved R32 recently failed its MOT due to corrosion.
Heather does so much for the car community a few of us want to help and have set up a crowdfund - gofund.me/478a743ed

If you're traveling by train, buy some fucking headphones. I don't want to listen to your shitty music, hear a crappy American comedy, or listen to a conversation with your significant other who's a bigger twat than you.

@joehallenbeck.bsky.social spotted at NEC yesterday for you

Took few pics at NEC yesterday and most of what I would have done has been posted by others already.
Except these. Probably my “take home” cars.
I do love a ‘less obvious’ 60s muscle car
‘66 Pontiac Le Mans
Fiat 124 coupe( has to be the BC spec car) one of their prettiest ever

You can get a full-week Monday-Sunday ticket, camping pitch, and train travel to and from London for the 24 Hours of Le Mans for less than the price of a parking permit at the British Grand Prix
Silverstone, I love you. But I cannot justify paying £420 for car parking for the F1 next year across the weekend.

This year, car parking for the 4 days was £170, so a 147% increase year-on-year.

It's extortionate, and it's the first time I've really felt that.

We are fortunate to have a large pond in our garden. About 0.1 of an acre
Doesn’t sound much but it’s about 650,000 litres of water at its usual depth
This summer it has all gone
