An artist I used to listen to a lot 20 years ago when I was a student was Cex. It’s great to get back to those tracks and hear them sounding as fresh as they did ages ago. Not everything from the early 2000s has aged terribly.

You’re looking at a freshly inspected Mercedes 240 D ambulance. With a 280 SLC body and drivetrain.
People used to do body/drivetrain swaps all the time in the ’80s due to heavy Finnish import taxation of the time. This is one of the more :chef kiss: examples.

Tell me the #1 red flag with this 2003 Peugeot 106 Pop Art if you can spot it. I didn’t, and @theemitchi.bsky.social needed to point it out. Unless there was a good explanation I’d steer clear of it

I love Caldinas because they are weird and rare, and the Avensis bodyshell is super normal and ordinary

I don’t think these Mazda pickups were ever common and they’re now downright rare. The same trucks were also available as Ford Rangers here, and they’re not the same as US Rangers.

I also drove a Smart. My take is that now that Daimler doesn’t have Jeep anymore, they turned Smart into Jeep with Geely. For … reasons. Anyway, it’s frickin’ fast and has green seats and Netflix.

I drove a new Renault 4 today! I really liked it, except for… the rear seat. Thing is, it’s simply too small to work as a Peugeot e-2008 alternative family car. In the Pug I can easily sit ’behind myself’, but the R4 rear seat is genuinely cramped.
It drives well, though, and trunk size is fine.

Listening to Lucio Dalla’s Automobili album from 1976. On ”Il motore del 2000” he sings how the engines 25 years in the future will be silent and quiet, and ”the exhaust will not smell of pollution. A boy or a girl will be able to breathe it”. 25 years after that imagined future, are we there yet?

Hey @glenn9k.bsky.social, do cars rust a lot around the Helsingborg area? Road salt? Sea air? Looking at an ad of a Mercedes W204 which was imported from there in 2019.
