That’s the little pug ready for its trip to France. Super simple process getting the sticker, very cheap too

Can’t remember who it was on here that recommended the under body pressure washer attachment but seriously impressed. Quick release lance makes life much easier too

It’s the weekend and the weather iss awful. Have jobs to be do on both cars but not enough room in the garage and too wet to work outside. Have settled for replacing the long aerial mast on the Pug for a stubby one. Lego afternoon it is then…

For this week’s #FrenchFriday this delicious Citroen BX 14Re spotted at Salts Mill Gallery in West Yorkshire. Beautiful, original conditional

Saved this lovely Mini Park Lane from the scrapyard today. It’s been owned by a colleague’s daughter for the last 9 years and she was going to scrap it due to failed head gasket.

My Corsa’s Spanish cousin still in daily use in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria

The obligatory Citroen H van coffee stalls. I do like them

Post an ad of your first car. Here’s mine; Naomi Campbell on a wrecking ball with the ‘new super model’ Vauxhall Corsa

Just flicking through this month’s Practical Classics to find me and the Corsa in the ‘Your Cars’ section. That’ll be one to keep in the Jim’s history file

Unexpected sight outside the gym. Old Honda Accord just street parked

Having a bit of a clear out of social media platforms. Deactivated Facebook 3 weeks ago, X/Twitter is deactivated and should auto-delete shortly. Deleted Threads this morning. Really don’t like Meta but hanging on to Instagram for now

Lovely little Peugeot 205 Style Diesel spotted an Autojumble recently. Returned to the road in December ‘24 after 8 year laying dormant. Learnt to drive in a couple of 205’s always loved them #frenchfriday

Many, many moose in this Volvo 240. They were all over the back seat too. I like it

Going to see Smith & Sniff live in March… on that side of things

Just received a lovely box of Corsa parts from @retrosammie.bsky.social and @vhschloe.bsky.social. Thank you very much indeed!

The ‘Weird Car’ community (wherever it might land), really is a brilliant.
