Love old, retro and interesting cars - especially base models! Aston Villa fan and gamer from retro to new.

Festival of the Unexceptional 2025 delivered goodness as always. Delightful Skoda on Concours. However managed to get three launch 1993 K plate Corsa Bs together. Superb rare SRi and another launch LS in delightful frost blue. Great day again. #fotu

My registration plates have been cloned and I am fighting against a PCN from the Clean Air Zone in Birmingham City Council. Getting West Mids Police interested is hard as well. Everything is on me to prove this obvious later phase 2 is not me or my Corsa. Be careful those who have cars out the ‘net

Ugh! Broken door latch on the Berlingo. Thankfully not too miserable to repair/swap over with a second hand assembly today. All greased up too now which should help.

This 1991 documentary about the M25 looks like it features all the cars we love and a window into time past. Will be watching later after seeing it in my feed.

90s at Tesco. Buddied up with this Justy. It’s hanging on but it’s doing its thing. Think it belongs to a worker as it’s always there. But had the Corsa today for a photo op.

Long run out today, checking for leaks and general health. Always a chance to admire a single point injection, distributor loaded 45bhp powerhouse. Did have fun this afternoon.

Replaced the bumper valance on my Astra K after damaging it on a log. Dremel and cable tie to the rescue! Trim clips sacrificed along the way; what a pain! Scrappy part will suffice.

A game no one asked for! Guess the part to try and fix an issue on my Astra K 2019. It’s a monster package!

Are insurance prices on the way down? Glad to see the Corsa is cheaper this year, would only save a couple of pounds moving away.

Proton Satria, must admit don’t recall seeing these on the road at the time. No MOT here but a lovely colour. One for @joncoupland.bsky.social?

Being a Villa fan, I have a number of old shirts. MG Rover sponsored Villa for a while and it’s pretty cool now to have these shirts from that period. I didn’t appreciate Rover and MG as cars then but really do since being on the car scene now.

@mattfd.bsky.social Hi Matt, I’ve lost all my car people on the other place. I’m starting out here, looking for all my fellow weird car twitter folks! Corsa is MOT’d again and ready for more adventures! See you on the circuit again in 2025. 😀
