Thanks! Duly noted. We're off there post-Xmas... I'm trying to pitch this visit to the family

but I don't think they are carcheology fans.
Abandoned Subaru Dealership
This garage is frozen in the late 1990s, full of rare and untouched cars and motorcycles.

The intensity of smoking in this is off the hook... kindergarten scene? Sparks up.

there's just something about the image, there are stories in there... the grubiness of the time, the dishevelled astrakhan coat, very Withnail.

Is there a tale about the car's story to tell do you think? @carpervert.bsky.social

Also correlates with people dropping out of the discourse, so they have to 'Go Big' with the hot takes to get any attention...

...it doesn't end well.

Almost certainly WH Smiths in Sutton Coldfield. As fascinated by the liner notes, photography, gatefold etc. as the music... who knew I'd end up a graphic designer?

Tontine Square, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent. Curious if it is the same reference... Were there speculative investors in the Potteries heyday? Do any historians know, friends of @oddthisday.bsky.social @garius.bsky.social? - asking the internet now just invites AI hallucinations that I don't trust :-(

just trying to imagine who else you'd cast in the Smoky and the Bandit recreation scene?

Which company has the highest index of 'didn't appreciate it at the time' leaving enthusiasts paying through the nose for examples years later, having barely shifted any at the time? Honda have a strong shout.

Just glad the reviewers determined the 'e' was a failure allowing us to afford an example. It oozes quality and screw the cost. Currently trying to determine if the VFR800 is another example - they seem great value, bikers are notoriously conservative when it comes to change, and it never caught on.
