Cars and Car Conversions, often abbreviated (and later changed on the masthead) as "triple C". Covered the ground between road and racing, including building cars for the latter, from club motorsport up to professional stuff. Closest thing in the US is probably Grassroots Motorsport.

Re: models, they've wasted no time getting the new Prelude out. Saw a few in both kit and diecast form. Saw one on the road today too but couldn't get a snap - looks better in the metal than in pics, I think.

Bluesky compression is probably gonna knacker this somewhat, but got some cool snaps in Osaka tonight. 1/6s, f4, manual focus, and shot from the hip so I could get the xmas lights in the hedge in the foreground. Cappuccino is a Christmas drink, right?

I bet you didn't know there was a model of a 1984 IMSA Renault Encore, much less one specifically from the race at Sears Point that year.

Kei of the Day is this Suzuki Lapin in Ōsaka. Remembering what a pleasure it is when most vehicles are actually quite small.

No cars yet, sorry. Enjoying the space in bog-standard class on the Shinkansen though.

Facebook popped up a reminder that eight years ago today there was a pretty good sunset just before leaving work. Quickly ran outside to take a few snaps of the 106...

That dealer which always has the good racing/kanjo-style Hondas has a very good Del Sol right now too www.carsensor.net/usedcar/deta...

Honda Crossroad is one of the funkiest JDM Hondas I think. Surprised nobody has started importing them to the UK, though when they reach 25 years, I could see the US going mad for them www.carsensor.net/usedcar/deta...

New purchase for the MX-5. Do have a full cover for it but the roof-only job takes up a lot less space and covers the important bits - given it's spending three weeks in airport parking soon it should mitigate the risk of leaks. Useful in summer too as the silver should keep heat out.

Slowly been collecting the unhinged AI slop thumbnails for "The Most Relaxing Farm Game of 2025" (or 2024, depending on the ad). As well as being hilarious, none suggest to me an *especially* relaxing game.

Rallye continues to show up every other car I've owned by sailing through another MOT. Windscreen has slowly been collecting stone chips and the tester has finally noticed, but none have turned into cracks.
Car's still for sale, if you know anyone interested...

Discovered Final Sentence after @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social mentioned it in a recent vid. Bit of a busman's holiday but a "typing battle royale" is quite an interesting concept. Good feeling when you win one too (even if avoiding four roulette spins is quite lucky).

People like the model shop then I guess.

Another small photo dump. Model shop from last year's Japan trip. Seemingly every car ever invented offered in kit form.

Have probably posted these before but having a bit of a phone clear out, so here are some cool motorsport Peugeots from visiting the museum earlier this year.

Good lord, a tidy Neon. These are basically extinct in the UK. Not asking much money for it either. Definitely don't have the space (or mental capacity) for another car, but if the Rallye found a home I'd be tempted by this in the short term... www.ebay.co.uk/itm/25717777...

Have a bit of a soft spot for the PT, as I rented one on a road trip in 2007. Powertrain was lazy, but the handling was genuinely pretty decent. Comfortable to cover miles in and pretty practical for being compact (by US standards) too.

The Style 36s also seem like they reference the wheels on the 328 of the 1930s - wouldn't surprise me if that was the idea, as BMW did like dipping into its heritage for a while.

I like both those wheels, two of my favourites. The chunky three-spoke of the E30 Sport Evo (and optionally available for a while too) is another BMW favourite.

I drove one several years back. Actually quite liked it. Remarkable use of space. Drove perfectly well too, certainly no worse than most other superminis. Cabin quality not up to old Merc levels, but again perfectly acceptable by general 90s standards. This was just a 1.4 manual, but quite pleasant.
