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.

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.

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
