Today has been a very "when it rains, it pours" day in the weird cars department for me. In any case, if you're looking for a '59 Fiat 600 project fresh out of desert storage or a 96 Twingo soon to be liberated from a sketchy importer (long story) hmu

Arguably the best thing about The Inferno is any time you do something sinful, you can just be like "nbd, this is only circle X shit and I'm due to go two deeper anyway, so it doesn't really count." My boy Dante out here saving my ass 800 years later.

I know I frequently say my life is bizarre, but I just got offered a ride across England to the NEC literally a year in advance. I guess I'll be finding out if a guy in a Q5 is more reliable than the train?

Guy who put my new snow tires on didn't realize our parts guy was in his Snapchat, so I got a surprise peek into the mildly chaotic energy the Marea brings to a completely normal tire shop

Got the Marea's summer wheels back from the powder coater, they cleaned up pretty well! (I'm told the powder coating shop was very wtf when given a set of niether vintage nor modern Fiat wheels)

Aaactually, Lealtà looks kinda hot on steelies, in the same way I really like a lesbian who looks like she could eat me for breakfast

I don't know who the Delta gate agent at Sea Tac gate A7 is, but she is a damn hero

On the plane back from England, somewhere off the coast of Greenland, and contemplating just how I ended up in what feels like a completely bizarre life compared to so many people in my normal daily life.

Our Gianni, who art in some questionable corner of heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom is large, thy will is clearly sketchy, on earth as it is wherever you are...

So apparently the Italian car world just decided today would be Thirst Trap Monday? St. Gianni Agnelli works in mysterious ways...

I've no idea where to start with the NEC Classic Motor Show, so here's some good Martinis. Getting to sit in a proper rally Delta was incredible and the 037 owner kindly contributed to my drinks that night.

My last day in England, and I'm in mourning for the fact that I have to go back to a place where friends are nearly nonexistant

As a weary goth traveler, there ain't nothing like walking one block off the insanity of Camden high street to the welcoming darkness and beer of the Devonshire Arms.

I have survived 2 days of walking miles through the NEC followed by getting properly drunk. Last night also involved curry and 17 men singing on a party bus.

Last night I learned that choosing Carling Black Fruits at the bar is a cultural indicator that you're going to fight someone. (I didn't.) I also tried Hawkstone (Clarkson's beer,) it is an beer.

Not 10 steps out of the elevator and I hear someone calling my name...

Did I almost get hit by a bus taking a pic of a Fiat for the gc? Yes.

At what point does a car cease to be a car and just become a wingless plane?

My dearest Brits, you have been holding out on us! To Americans, Bonfire Night is a cutesy V For Vendetta holiday. I was not informed that you lot literally seem to try to blow the entire island up for hours on end.

Y'know, for having celtic curls, my hair absolutely loathes UK weather. How my ancestors put up with this, I will never know

On todays episode of English adventures:
Got picked up in a 30 year old diesel Peugeot hatchback.
Discovered mushy peas are naturally nuclear waste green, but tasty.
Booped an SR-71 Blackbird.
