Old car addict. Sells stuff on the internet, mostly.
What were you doing 30 years ago today?
I bought a Renault 11.

Local Cars and Coffee this morning. One guy only goes and blows everything else away by turning up in an Alfa 90.

Work this morning involved spending three hours sat at the side of a road, making sure people on a fundraising walk didn’t get run over. It was not a bad was to start the day, truth be told.

Nothing to see here. Oh, these. Don’t know how they got there.

Final selection of cars spotted on the Autobahn. MX-5 was indecently quick, passed us at 100+ and vanished into the distance.

It’s about 8km north of Bad Herrenalb in Germany, about 30k south of Karlsruhe. And you really should go.

A few more, it’s basically the sort of place we’d all end up with if we had the time and money.

Found what might possibly be the best car museum you never knew existed this afternoon…

Few more from today, Twingo the most attainable, Beetle looked pretty good. So many 911s and Mk1 Cabrios around these parts today.

Sunday Deutsch scenes.

30 degrees. Frankfurt. Autobahn.
Having the under tray attempt to exit the chat at quite* high speed wasn’t expected. Managed to repair it with cable ties so all good.

More from Deutschland. SEAT Cordoba strangely appealing.
August 7, 2025 at 7:00 PM
Deutsch spots.

Today’s autobahn spot. Mk2 RS2000 is all well and good but the real star of this show is the Mk2 Transit.

Quintessential German 90s car, tidy Mk2 in Hamburg.

It’s very realistic too…

Went to Miniatur Wunderland today, I expected it to be good but it was so much better than that. Could have stayed all day.
August 2, 2025 at 7:20 PM
Coolest autobahn spot yesterday.
August 2, 2025 at 5:01 AM
I’ll be there, in this, again
July 20, 2025 at 8:26 AM
Wouldn’t you rather be driving a Renault 12 TS Estate onto a ferry this afternoon?

Is €4500 a lot for a SEAT Malaga? Asking for a friend, obvs. It’s near where I’m staying in few weeks, could, maybe just happen to be passing…

Drove into the countryside to check on some bees 🐝

Cars and Coffee this morning. Remarkably good breakfast sandwiches too.
July 13, 2025 at 11:31 AM
Couple that I’d quite like to own…

What gems are lurking at the Burnley Classic Vehicle Show you wonder?
