Okay, it's ergonomically apocalyptic, but the Vector W8's dashboard is still one of the coolest of all time. "Cruise control inhibit" is so much better than "Cruise control off"
The OG Ford Puma is even more wantable now than it was 25 years ago.
Not saying anything about the stereotypical demographic of US RV buyers, but...
I've always quite liked the rear lights of the 1996+ Daihatsu Charade Saloon. Looks like more effort went into those than into anywhere else on the car.
I still miss this centre console
@RoadworkUK Dear Sir, one wonders why this was NOT stored as AM preset 1? It is now 👍. There’s a certain delight in hearing power line buzz and bridge dropout again after maybe 30 years of not using MW in a car (since R1 on 1089) 👍😎
Raising a glass to Mr Wilson of Clacton-On-Sea for his fine choice of workshop motoristion.
Spent all my money on petrol. Can't afford a house any more. Worth it, though.
A quick reminder that, for a wonderful decade, you could walk into your friendly MG Rover dealership and drive away with a reasonably priced mid-engined sports car.
Late 90s girl group names that were spelled in a catchy way were silly. If they had made a clever pun, they'd have been fine, but Tyce isn't a thing, nor is Teeq. Although I really hope there's a girl whose antique furniture restoration business is called Miss Teak.
To whoever it is that keeps driving an E62 BMW M6 past my hotel, late at night, with their foot down. Sounds tremendous. Please carry on.
If ever we needed proof that HotWheels aren't actually for kids at all, this Honda Motocompo is it.
The Citroen Xsara suffered one of the least sympathetic facelifts ever. Went from wedgy to swollen and lumpy. These alloys have a vague Escort Cosworthness about them, though.
Today I'm posting a Nissan Almera on social media because it's highly unlikely that anybody will ever do so again.
Somehow the Plymouth Road Runner doesn't feel like the kind of car that you could just go to a dealership and buy, and read about in a brochure like any ordinary car.
POV: It's 2002, you've just bought a Renault Megane Cabrio, the sun's up, the roof's down, and Roots Manuva's Dreamy Days is loud on the stereo.
I'd like to spend a day getting down and dirty rubbing moisturiser into this Ford Ka's buttocks.
We would call it a Capri 2.8 Injection. Others might call it a retirement fund.
This German chose wisely. LWB X351 Jaguar XJs still seem to transcend space and time. Photos don't do their proportions justice.
