Saddle up! My #AlfaRomeo Giulia now has more horses under the hood… Remap (and annual service) courtesy of AHM in Hants.

C’est l’été ! And the #Fiat Topolino brings a smile to everyone’s face (or look of “WTF” – I’ll let you be the judge). Unlike the #Citroen Ami it’s based on, you can buy this without doors – an ‘open air’ version with just rope either side (tho that’s probably another reason not to buy one for most)

Austin-Healey 100M making for a quintessential English scene… But this spot is from the car park of Intermarché in Prayssac, southwestern France… So shame its not a Citroën DS Bossaert instead.

Tell me you’re in France without telling me you’re in Fra… Actually, this is British car (in case you’d not clocked the number plate). Driven all the way from Southampton and en route to Toulouse (where it originally came from). A long way to go in a 1974 #Citroen Ami 8 Break!

Not everything unexceptional managed to make it to #fotu this weekend! This #Rover Metro has been sitting on a forecourt near me for years now…

And this is the state it’s in now…!

Who said range anxiety is a new thing? Filling up this #Fiat 126 is gonna cost you less than 30 quid but only give you (max) 250 miles out of a full tank. Still, in this little thing, those miles are gonna provide plenty of smiles!

Saw one of those electric I-PACE toda…

OOH A PEUGEOT 205 GTI !

Always check the car park. Something everyone at #Goodwood will be telling you, but it also applies to grotty industrials estates in deepest Surrey… And here’s proof: 1979 #Ferrari GT4. Definitely a design that has got better with age.

Never understood why the second gen #Honda NSX wasn’t more popular – just look at it! Certainly gets my vote, especially since the frontend doesn’t make allowances for a number plate…

Saw one of those Ineos Grenadiers toda…

OMG A HONDA NSX !!

Took the new #Renault 5 for a spin and loved it 💛 You can forget that its an EV and just take in how bloody cool it looks, especially in this colour on a wet weather day… Fun, French and more desirable than stuff costing twice as much. On your drive for just over 200 quid/month

High voltage⚡️

Had a test drive in this recently and boy was it RAPID! Happened to be the twin-motor version with over 500bhp and while certainly not a match for a (far lighter) MX5, that 3.2secs to 60mph are an absolute hoot. Better than a ICE Boxster tho?

Despite the weather, #FerrariFriday car park spot: 1976 308 GTB ‘Vetroresina’ – the number on the side, quick-release catches and (just visible) roll cage provide some clues to its use (and perhaps why its used to such weather).
