2 of my 16 wheels have left the stable 🥲
Bidding farewell to my 1958 Triumph Roadster Cycle. I got it when I was just 13 (back in 2019) and have fond memories bobbing along on it during the Covid era. It’s gone to a great home and will be appreciated more than just being hung up on my garage wall.

Brought my Panda 100HP out of the garage for a well-needed clean. I miss driving this car! I think it’s overdue some attention to the underside 🫣

A lovely weekend away in Berlin comes to a close. What a beautiful city with such a fascinating history ❤️
We had a bicycle tour along the Berlin Wall, went up the famous TV Tower, and enjoyed endless Currywurst mit Pommes. Danke, Berlin 🇩🇪

I haven’t done many miles in my Audi TT yet, mostly due to a split breather pipe causing some issues with the boost. Today though, I drove down the road to TT Spares who instantly knew what the issue was and sorted it out for me. They live and breathe TTs and all things VAG 🇩🇪

New video alert! 🚨 This time, I’m joined by my good friend and mechanic Matthew as we take a closer look at my Audi TT’s 124k mile engine. Is it healthy or should I brace myself for an expensive winter? Let’s find out… 🫣

Remember my old Z4? Well, it started a new life in Ireland back in May and finally has its new registration (blurred for privacy) assigned! The new owner is absolutely chuffed with it 😁

The heavy rain didn’t dampen the spirits at Anglesey Circuit today! An excellent day watching all the Race of Remembrance action. The mighty RacePanda finished 3rd in class too! 👏

Just hearing about the sad death of Quentin Willson. Another motoring legend lost to cancer 😔

Here we go folks, my first Daniel Drives episode with the TT has gone live! I explain my plans with the car, why I spontaneously decided to buy it, and whether I have any concerns regarding the car’s past. I hope you enjoy this one! 😎

Finally managed to clear a car-sized hole in the garage. The Panda is now tucked up nicely for the foreseeable. With the TT’s arrival alongside the 325i, it’s only fair that the Panda is kept dry and away from the incoming salt 👍
Don’t worry, it’s not being dumped! No Panda abuse here.

What a great review, and positively fantastic headline to lead it with. No depressing lead, just really delighted take on what's arguably the best all around EV on sale in western markets. Great work @danielcars05.bsky.social

Evening BlueSky, have you seen my latest YouTube video yet? I get nerdy with the all-new Kia EV3 in the beautiful Peak District. If you’re considering a family EV, then definitely give this a watch 👌

The first of two Daniel Drives episodes with the wonderful Kia EV3 has gone live! I take a drive up to the Lake District to test the car on a mixture of roads, with some stunning scenery along the way. Can it really do 300+ miles on a charge? 🤔
