I’d say Sherwood Forest but the never actually film the Robin Hood films there Chatsworth is in a good percentage of period drama film/Tv though Bits of Castleton were instantly recognisable in Apple TV Invasion
Richard Littler@richardlittler.bsky.social · 2d agoWhat's the most famous film/TV location near to you? For me it's probably On Her Majesty's Secret Service. The scenes shot in Bern are quite close by, and the Piz Gloria/Lauterbrunnen scenes are a short-ish drive (& cable car) away.
Part one in a magazine series of 200. This week the alloy wheels, next week the steering wheel & drivers seat so at least you can sit down and go "brum brum squeeel" as you turn the steering wheel widly.
Antti Kautonen@julkinen.bsky.social · 4d agoAlso I very much don’t have a BMW, but I gladly picked up these 15-inch, 7-inch wide Mille Miglia Stefan wheels complete with center caps. They should clean up nicely.
Post a picture of the first car you ever drove Imagine this but with zero safety. Mini front n rear subframes welded together, scaffold roll cage, lump of concrete on back for a bit of weight. It was a car in very loose terms
Alan Bradley@ajpbradley.bsky.social · last wk.Post a picture of the first car you ever drove. On my own, properly, changing gears and stuff… This, but cream-coloured.

Finally! I've lost track of how long we've been reckoning an update to the iMac has been coming. I still think a Mini & a good screen is the better buy today, but I go through this regularly with customers and 50% nod along and agree, then buy an iMac anyway...
Craig Grannell@craiggrannell.bsky.social · 2w agoApple’s new M6 iMac is the old one with a faster chip – and that’s (just) enough to make me buy one www.stuff.tv/hot-stuff/ap...
A little cartoon of mine, that is rather apt for tonight/Sunday morning as the clocks change. Enjoy! #cartoon #clocksback
A cheat here, BUT crucially unlike the coupe, it doesn’t actually have B pillars so you can run it as a frameless coupe…

This weeks top tip, fancy 5-7p off every litre of fuel?? Santander are doing a rewards card that gives 3% off (nearly) all fuel purchases, and no fees for a year, so that's exactly that. Oh and you get 3% on takeaways, and bus/train travel, and 0.25% on everything else.
QOTD: What's the perfect 4-car garage from one manufacturer the year you graduated high school? Actually a whopping 3 models when I did So 993 convertible for summer 993 GT2 for my funeral 928 GTS for long distance 968 Club Sport for daily duties
Dan@oldvolvos.bsky.social · 2mo agoJust to make me feel unfathomably old Porsche only really had 2 models in the year 2000 But I’ll take Boxster S 911 Carrera 911 GT3 Shipping crate of IMS bearings. Long live runny egg headlights
Maybe it’s a sign of older age, but is it unreasonable to expect a product talking about electrical safety, that you should feel like the guy doing the instructions actually saw the product… The layout at least looks right on the plug, but the earth should be shorter not equal length to the live
The saga continues, got my money, but the final bill is so ****ed up, someones managed to transpose day/night figures on the meter for the last bill and they've applied it retrospectively all the way back to when we started with them. Years of billing. Will be here months figuring this bugger out

100 miles driving a relatives 4th gen CRV today. I mean it’s done the job of shifting some stuff about, but a useful reference point sometimes to remind yourself what an utter rocket the 125 is. The CRV wasn’t troubling anything, and we didn’t even have the slower eco button or AC buttons pressed
One of those drives over the peaks yesterday. Late, quiet, van making progress still slowed and indicated to let me pass, caught up with a few cars, wasn't worth the overtake, till it turned out slow S-max in the middle is on an utter mission guy, which now made the overtake possible. Good drive!
Today was one of those days where you drive for an hour for a day out / lunch at an NT property only to find having paid to park they’ve no water and everything’s shutting. So you drive an hour to try somewhere else and by now it’s mad busy. Net result 2.5hrs 100 miles lunch 10mins/10miles from home
This weeks packet of Lidl Choc (fake) Hobnobs are different to normal. Thicker, darker, more caramelised, better. Is it a one off?* More research (eating) is required. Maybe even a Stewards Enquiry @petrolblog.bsky.social *we hope not!
3 car dream garage, but all 3 must be from the same make. Nobody stipulated street legal, and I figured at least one shouldn't be red...

Cheeky run out to Skegness for the day as it’s been an age since we’ve had fish & chips + ice cream by the seaside* *Oh alright it was only last week at Hornsea, but what the hell
This is why even over a decade ago I switched to clipping websites into Evernote, and then because Evernote went shitty clipping to DevonThink A) they’re searchable, so much easier to find content B) they’re saved, and websites just keep disappearing
Antony Ingram@antonyingram.bsky.social · 3mo agoWent off on a tangent while looking at old car articles and ended up tidying up decade-old bookmarks on my browser. Well, mainly deleting, as almost none of the stories that have survived are still at their original URL, many have 404s, and a significant number are no longer online.

QOTD, what was the first racing game you ever played? Probably the same, this, in glorious green screen on the Amstrad 464
Pete@notposhpete.bsky.social · 4mo agoQOTD, what was the first racing game you ever played? Difficult to remember but highly likely it was Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge on the Amiga. Wasn't blessed with a console or anything until the mid 90's but a primary school mate was fortunate enough to have an Amiga.
