Scotland welcomes you (back), Jim.
We’re keeping the big yellow thing in the sky a bit longer for you this weekend too. What a summer it’s been. We had to harvest the aippuls early this year. My most wholesome activity of the year.

One of the most beautiful cars I have owned. Never tired of looking at it from any angle. Not sure those Clint Eastwood squinting triple headlights have ever been surpassed. Still miss it

In my continuing attempts to, ‘Be More Jim’, we are indulging in more Italyland with extra points for scoring the Panda in rentacarlottery.

Sold our MX-5 on Saturday -beautiful sunny day of 21 deg, which is tropical for Scotland - and the fella drove away with the roof up. I nearly chased him to say the deal was off!

The Delta Integrale post went down so well that I thought I’d throw in a few other highlights from the Heritage Hub tour. Stratos in the flesh still stirs.
Flávio Manzoni did the sumptuous interior of the Diàlagos concept-sexiest saloon of the 90s?
Criminally overlooked Fulvia concept. Barchettaaaa

Wee Rid Motor off to a new home tonight🥲
An excited young man has windswept summer nights in his eyes while we have tears in ours. Even Sylvia looked upset.
Wishing Daniel as many happy miles and smiles as we have enjoyed.
(Book now open on how long it takes me to buy another MX-5…)

Still stuck in analogue mode, but Testdriving a very unusual Porsche today…
Handles well with decent fingertip control and tasty in the curves, but strangely the best bit always seems to be at the back🤔

Trips on continental Europe (from my Scottish base) always throw up everyday models that never make RHD spec UK.
Always thought this Clio looked like the perfect size for so much of small family life. Handsome wee thing too

Roof of the Lingotto Factory in Turin. Now an outdoor art gallery and sometime test track/photo op for electric Fiats.
Had a dream weekend on my own travelling the collections and sights of Milan and Turin areas, flights courtesy of a fab birthday present from The Wean & Mrs G.
I’m a very Lucky Boy🍀

Better idea maybe? Saw this curious study during the - utterly fabulous - tour of the archive that’s an option at the Alfa Romeo Museo in Arese yesterday.
Makes me want to know a lot more.
Got loads of questions from what I saw, so I might have to follow Missy Elliot’s advice and 🎶Get my Geek On🎵

Top of the list for an Orange purchase. When I retire to the north of Italy, this baby will be parked up outside my tiny apartment.

Do it! Man logic trumps man maths. Back in pre-daughter days we had a great wee NA that we bought cheaply while saving to get married.
Later needed 2nd car, viewed Leon Cupra/Golfs then Mrs G mooned over a TT & that was that. Best 2 car family until baby buggies etc.
Back in Mazda-land with NC now🤗
