Spotted on the street, a classic mid-eighties Toyota "Van"! Didn't quite get the entire animal in one shot, feel free to reassemble both ends in your head.

I’ve been a bit MIA from Mastodon for the last few days, but there’s a good reason. I bought a 1974 MGB GT V8 project from the father of a friend of mine. Aside from needing a good deal more work, there was a catch. The car was in Burnet, Texas. I live in Michigan.
So me, my friend, and another friend are on a mission to run down to Texas to retrieve Gerald the GT and bring him back to Michigan.

#Monterey British #CarWeek #ClassicCars Triumph TR7, MG B and TA, Daimler 250. Lots more to come this week… #WeirdCarMastodon
-
Main focus of #Monterey British was #Jaguar, lots of lovely E-types. Also, great weather, nice fun crowd. Located at Carmel Valley Village. #ClassicCars #WeirdCarMastodon

#Monterey British also had #Hagerty journalist Jason #Cammisa bring his Rover SD1 to show. He borrowed my Elise for his video about Lotus a few years ago so it was good to get caught up. #ClassicCars #WeirdCarMastodon

#Monterey British event for #CarWeek today. Entered my #Lotus Elise and people amused themselves trying to get in and out of it for a photo. I amused myself trying to get in and out of a Caterham Seven. Nice customized Europa also in the Lotus section. #ClassicCars #WeirdcarMastodon

I've got a print of the Citroen DS in silver off to a Spain. The original artwork for this was created in ink with no generative AI assistance.

Finally for this big art print flurry of activity is one of the most popular pieces I've ever done, a Citroen DS, this one in a pale yellow.

A Citroën car graveyard, once the proud collection of a classic car enthusiast. Now these old-timers rust away on the outskirts of a town in the Midlands of England.

Snagged complete set of of Marshall Cavendish #CarMaintenance and #Motoring partwork "On The Road" from 1978-1981 (in 10 binders)
If you are #GenX you may remember your dad buying at least some of these if he was into #cars (although to get the entire partwork would have cost about £300 (2026 money) in total, so relatively few people actually got whole set of 140)
These were sold not only in #UK but across #Commonwealth countries where folk drive on the left, one cool thing is all units are #metric first (with Imperial equivalents added afterwards)
Fair play to the previous owner, it looks like they did definitely make use of the section on changing #HeadGasket in #BritishLeyland engine 😁

Found and saved this from Tumblr some years ago. A possible amphibious vehicle with a screw-drive propulsion system. Any ideas are welcome. Ta! #weirdcarmastodon #weirdboatmastodon

Unterwegs habe ich auch ein paar interessante Dinge ausserhalb des slowUps angetroffen:
Ein Hof voller #Microlino Elektroautos in #Küssnacht, davon eins mit dem teuflischen Nummerschild ZH-666. 👹
Und ein sehr schönes #Dampfboot in #Stäfa. (Weiss jemand, ob das eine #Dampfmaschine mit 2 oder 4 Zylindern ist? Bzw. zählt man die Steuerzylinder da mit oder nicht?)

Work on Harry continues.
1 - the very elaborate loom for a Haflinger. Some may need replacing up front
2 - Headlight surround needing some rust repairs
3 - Rust repairs happening in the floor, clutch tube corroded too and will be replaced
4 - Steering wheel rim in great nick, sanded back spoke and repainted. Now baking in the sunshine

Just removed Harry's pedal box and discovered it was cracked and in two pieces. Good thing we had anticipated this, ordered a replacement part.

So, pulling apart the steering column of Harry the Haflinger, and discovered the switch cover for all the cabling for light etc was housing once a wasp nest. No really, wasps lived in there once. Thankfully not recently but just another thing that now needs cleaning and repainting.

Okay so...
What IRL car do you say look most like a car from #Cyberpunk 2077?...No, you're wrong.
It's the #Subaru GL Family Huckster.
Or to put it another way: A one of a kind AWD turbo charged special built super hothatch monstrosity with FUNCTIONING AIR BRAKES.
It's every Nomad's Wet Fucking Dream.
