This years RoR was one filled with ups and downs, overcoming challenges, teamwork, and camaraderie. The true spirit of motorsport and something we’re proud to be a part of.

Full write up coming soon, catching up on sleep first.

3D printed cup holder for the Saab has arrived 😎

Being overtaken by a pair of LFA’s on a rainy Welsh dual carriageway wasn’t on my bingo sheet for the weekend, but what a treat.

One of these is a smart and stylish way to traverse Europe in comfort.

The other is a Bentley

An evening of tinkering and the steam deck is running GT4 to the tv and the Gamester Dual Force wheel is now working with the steam deck.

This might be more fun than actually playing the games.

Right car right tee

These have been surprisingly popular this week.

So of course the vinyl plotter stopped working and its replacement has required a degree to understand the software / settings.

Yet we persevere and stickers are heading out the door.

We’ve got our development versions of the fleece and quarter zip on their way, while they’re being made we thought we’d offer a “pre-production” limited edition to anyone who fancies taking a bit of a risk for something that will likely be tweaked and adjusted once we get the first ones.

A quick post for a quick offer. Pre-production fleece and quarter zip are half price till we get our test pieces (likely next Friday)

We’re confident in the embroidery and print capabilities, it’s always a stylistic tweak that gets made.

On the homepage already if your fancy one.

An unexpected treat on a mooch round London yesterday.

Every t-shirt, hoodie, and cap is a small piece of something bigger. A movement built on community, honesty, and support.
A conversation starter that travels wherever you do.

Because sometimes all it takes is a logo, a nod, or a chat over a car bonnet to remind someone that it is okay to talk.
October 22, 2025 at 8:50 PM
Our garments are made for those who care about the details, the feel, the fit, and the story behind it. But what really matters is what they represent. A belief that mental health conversations belong in everyday life, not hidden away or saved for when things get tough.
October 22, 2025 at 8:50 PM
We make clothing that fits that world. Comfortable, durable, and designed with purpose. Each piece carries more than just a logo. It carries a message that reminds people they are not alone.

Clothing can say a lot without you having to.
Ours says ITS OK TO TLK.

Takona was built from car culture. From late nights in garages, weekend meets, and the conversations that happen around cars. The moments where people open up without even realising it. That’s where this all started.

Small gift from a local council van this morning. Fortunately when it bounced out the back it went under the car and didn’t hit it. Some sort of cap for a tube by the looks of it.

Thank you to everyone that joined us, it was a very proud moment heading out onto the A5 with a string of cars in tow, even if we did immediately get stuck behind a tractor.

I have been a big advocate for using a common interest like cars as a way of opening the door to conversation and encouraging that conversation to be open to going down the paths of mental wellbeing, and today was a great example of how that concept works.
October 12, 2025 at 8:48 PM
The day was an opportunity to catchup with friends, connect with some new faces, and put our mental health at the front of the conversation a bit more than we might do otherwise.
October 12, 2025 at 8:48 PM
Kicking things off at gasoline juice for coffee and breakfast, much chat, and some good old car ogling, we then jumped into the cars for a quick run down the A5 to Silverstone meeting up with carnatter for their meet alongside the racing.

Coffees, Cars, Conversation, Convoy, C(k)arts, and Clubsport (motorsport doesn’t work for the alliteration)

The mental health day coffees and cars mixed things up a bit with a ride from Gasoline Juice down to Silverstone for a car meet alongside the motorsport.

What a very special treat to receive a hand painted Hot wheels GT86 of our very own car. This one even has 3D printed 3 spoke wheels!

World mental health day, if nothing else it’s a reminder to stop and check in with yourself and those close to you.

Life can be pretty busy, we can miss the signs, if you don’t chose when to take a break, the choice gets made for you and it’ll never be at the right time.
October 10, 2025 at 6:52 AM
Those joining us for the northampton coffees and cars this Sunday, we’ll be having a little drive down to Silverstone for Carnatters Car meet and motorsport for world mental health day.

We’ll be at Gasoline juice around 9:30 then heading off at 11, you’ll need a Carnatter Ticket for Silverstone.
