2019 Tornado Red #Volkswagen #UP! in the yard today which had been brought in for #MOT inspection.
This is the smallest VW #hatchback, next one up is the Polo then the Golf..
The driver (a young woman) turned up with her mum to collect it as I was looking at the #car and taking the photo.
I did tell them why I was taking an interest in it as you don't see that many Tornado Red ones nor with automatic transmission (although single rather than dual clutch) and pointed to my own GTI parked outside another unit, so hopefully they weren't too freaked out and didn't think there was any sinister motive in my interest..
(incidentally there are multiple shades of Tornado Red, this one was just slightly darker than my GTI)

Just went by several car dealerships; MG, BYD, VW, all in a row. MG and BYD have colourful cars, all kinds of shapes, sizes and models. VW have a sea of various size SUVs in white/grey/black and it looks so bland and boring. No wonder they're losing marketshare when their offering is so boring.

I've finally added a two way breather valve to my fuel tank which will hopefully make filling the tank easier. I hope to never test its roll over protection functionality.
I could have just strapped it but it was an excuse to print something in ABS. Only the MOT tester is ever likely to see it, but it pleases me.

This is what a supercar was like a century ago
When the average car could only do 40 mph, this Bentley could break 100.

This is an ADO16, but not quite as we saw had it here in the UK. This is an Austin America which has different trim to a UK model, and a print of this one is heading off to someone in the UK.
Available here: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/28842833
Bet you thought I was going to say it was heading off the USA for a minute there.

Video day over on Youtube so it's time to drop that here for you all. In this episode I replace a disintegrating jacking point with a custom scratch built one since it's a part you cannot buy from anyone for the Princess.

A file photo we have of the #Chevrolet 1700, a Korea-fied LJ #Holden Torana. We opted to use the photo of the wagon in our listing as it was more unusual (and rare), plus you could see the sedan shape with the two-door in the LJ listing, so here’s the four-door sedan.

One of these came up on Cardle UK the other day and I mentioned I had forgotten these existed!
Well here is a Vauxhall Cresta that can be bought with money.

Thank goodness for the Wayback Machine. Declan Berridge’s #BMC #ADO16 chart is still there.

Edit: maybe I should post it here as a back-up. I do not have Declan’s permission but don’t want this to get lost.

Clever automotive kids who have designed and built a single seater race car, from universities from all over Australia, as well as NZ and other countries. Cool event!

The Birdcage (1996) is not just a terrific movie, but a great time capsule of fun cars.
When we watched last night, I knew I had to capture this rarity: a Yugo convertible. It's at the curb behind Nathan Lane and Robin Williams. Just 4 seconds.
I had to take a video of our TV with my phone, sorry for quality.

British #CarAccessories company #Carnoisseur from #Dunstable #Luton #England, established 1979, uploaded its sales catalogues from 1982 to 2013 to the #InternetArchive - a snapshot of #motoring #history in the #UK
NB: some catalogues contain imagery considered sexist nowadays - British society became less prudish over the years, but not in the most inclusive way (not as if objectifying women was necessary to sell alloy wheels, but this did alas become part of #CarCulture especially in 90s and 00s)
The company still exists today, but in a more downsized form (insurers are more ruthless about loading premiums for modified cars or refusing cover altogether, making this a less popular hobby

Und noch was Schönes und vor allem Unerwartetes heute: Als ich meine #Ente am Beladen war, kam ein Elektro-SUV fahrender Nachbar aus der Tiefgarage gegenüber und brachte mir das #Citroën2CV Modell im Bild und fragte, ob ich das wolle. Er hätte es "für die Kinder" besorgt, aber die hätten nie damit gespielt. Und jemand, der #Döschwo fahre, habe doch sicher Freude an so einem Modell. 🤗

This is Nugget, a 1.2 Vauxhall Corsa B Swing in one of the best 1990s colours. I drove this back in one shot from South London, with no satnav, during a storm, against the clock, to Middlesbrough. Amazing little car, really cemented my respect for them. Sadly the insurance was insanely expensive so it didn't stick around.

Here it is folks, every car I've ever owned. The newest is either the Citroen Xantia estate or the Ledbury Maestro, both from 1997. Still haven't owned a car from this century.
Let's make this a little thread.

More Woodward Dream Cruise: I like this picture as a good example of the total diversity in dream rides with this big yellow donk next to an Big Healey in Old English white.
(It's also a good example of how hard it is to get unobstructed photos of cars in the middle of all the madness.)
