The unusually muted Tesla Cybercab launch
Tesla has 45 Cybercabs registered in Texas, though it’s unclear how many of them will be doing passenger trips.

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 don't know about you, but I want my last ride to have plenty of tire smoke and opposite lock.

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.

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.

🚌🇱🇹 Old bus graveyard, somewhere in Lithuania. These are Soviet-era паз-672 (PAZ-672) buses from the 1960s to 1980s. Their colourful paint flakes and fades and weeds grow around their deflated tyres.

I took the neighbor boys with me on the Dream Cruise. This supercharged Camaro drove next to us for quite a while and was one of their favorites. Alas, I saw somebody else’s photo later showing that it failed to proceed.

More Hillman Imps are off to a new home in the UK, always good to see these getting out there. This time it's the multicolour tile pattern rather than an individual Imp.

These were so disposable that there aren't very many left. I can't remember the last time I saw one on the road.
I'd love to add one to my fleet!
Auction closes July 16 2026
Edit: Sold for USD $4,100

Here in the UK, someone picked up a tee shirt of one of my favourite designs, a nice orange Austin Allegro.

So, a confession: today's https://NameThatCar.online challenge is somewhat more challenging than anticipated.
So come and have a go, test your car knowledge, while I go off to rethink my approach to photo editing!

A collection of old German military trucks, left at the front of an old scrapyard. My best guess is they are 1960s Magirus Deutz Jupiters. Anyone an expert in derpy old trucks? Share any more thoughts about what these rusty old-timers are!

Chevrolet had a unique system for getting the Vega to market. This allowed them to ship more cars per rail car to save money on transport.

🔥🚒 Abandoned fire trucks left to rot in a barn, somewhere in England.
These Dennis-Thornycroft MK9 crash tenders are specialised airfield safety response vehicles. Custom-built in the late 1970s and 1980s, they featured roof-mounted monitors capable of laying a 12m-wide foam carpet.
After decades of service at RAF and civilian bases, these heavy machines were replaced by modern successors like the Scammell Mk 10.

As some of you will recall from my early days on this site, for a while I did a daily name the car from the photo challenge.
After a bit of a break and it a slightly different format, and partly as a result of frustration with Cardle UK, I made a thing.
Hope #WeirdCarMastodon folks enjoy it, cars are not just UK.

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 😁

F1 News dated 6 April 1994. The cover shows Michael Schumacher in the Mild Seven Benetton Ford. Schumacher won the Brazilian Grand Prix that year overtaking Senna during a pit stop before the Brazilian spun his car on the 55th lap and stalled. #F1 #benetton #ford #michaelschumacher #weirdcarmastodon

Here's an Austin Allegro to brighten your weekend. The original is made by me using a combination of ink pens and markers on high quality Bristol Board paper.
I do not use generative AI in the creation of my work.

Well here is a Vauxhall Cresta that can be bought with money.
