Automotive nostalgia that makes you realise you’re older than you think… Yes. A BMW MINI Cooper really is over 20 years old 😬
Classy old barge!

So weird car folks, who can name this? Bonus points for naming its two sister cars as well…

The current crop of controversial design wasn’t the first. Domagoj Dukec oversaw cars like the iX, XM and i7. Back in the 00s, Chris Bangle gave us a new 6 series. It polarised opinion back then. 20 years on, how do you think the design has ages? #bmw #bmwe63 #bmw6series

Utter perfection. Manual box, wood, light interior, and that paint! 👌🏻 Classy AF
ordinarily I gravitate to the coupes over the Volantes despite their sublime moniker for droptops, but golly Almond Green over Sandstorm is a whole feeling

Lovely little London spot last night. S2000 GT in Nurburgring Blue complete with the lovely dark blue leather. #hondas2000

Remembering the motor show and an all time favourite hot hatch. The MINI John Cooper Works GP. Nice to see these being appreciated for the modern classics they are. #miniGP

If the slightest bit of snow has you excitedly reaching for the keys to your Land Rover, here’s a trip down memory lane you might like. The cinematically beautiful 2002 ad campaign for the #LandRoverDiscovery2 called ‘Orbit’

Browsing continues. This ticks a few boxes for me - the X150 died before its time IMHO, and in many ways, drives and looks better than the F-Type it sired. Does anyone here have long-term experience, I'm not hearing of too many any serious or unusual issues...

Ahhhh the era when everyone went mad for a folding hard top. The Eos was a really interesting solution with its integral opening glass sunroof… Kinda a hard top twist on the MINI cabrios roof. Unlike the canvas MINI, the Eos did prove to be a bit leaky as time went on. 😬
A Volkswagon EOS is a sufficiently weird car I think #weirdcartwitter

E39. This is absolutely peak 5-series. And it’s all because of the detail.
Not sure if the E39's door-mounted interior vents have been mentioned on Bluesky yet.

I’ve never quite decided which one was prettier. I think I probably would put my own money into the second gen X150 though…

Scrubs up nicely, doesn't she?
All ready for a roadtrip to Anglesey tomorrow in the company of a motley crew of weirdcartwitter's South West chapter.
Thanks to @retromatt74.bsky.social for route planning even though he now can't join us!
(Bonus Frazzle, too)

Perhaps we’ve done it. Perhaps we’ve left all negativity and critisism behind… 🤞🏻
Replies to my Jaguar post.
First two from Blue Sky, 2nd two from Twitter.
The experiment has proved a point.

We need a suitable 00s car to get things going over here… something red and Italian, perhaps with questionable reliability? Oh. Go on then! Almost as pretty to look as as it was painful to own. Alfa’s Busso V6 powered 156 GTA 🇮🇹
