I thought I was done with rust hiding in the Crown Vic...I was wrong, can Al and Fudge at 6D Diesels come to the resuce, and an update on the W123 Link in the comments
Anyone need a Palouste jet turbine for their Vulcan bomber? Ad says its missing its monitoring equipment, will run up without, although not recommended. Head over to Marketplace if you're in the market for one
Is £15,000 a realistic price for the remains of a heavily smashed, 6 year old Mercedes? Marketplace delivers again. Heavy front end damage, every airbag fired so the interior is ruined, and the valuable motor was front a centre for the impact. Surely its not getting rebuilt & there not much to strip
I thought everyone was pointing at the Merc ML, but it turns out it was the '48 Buick Eight, and then a TR7-a bonus classic droptop. This is almost the Roadmaster from Rain Man, that was a '49 convertible
Furious Merch Store news - it's moving! Ive had stock here which means when you orders come I go to the barn, find, pack and post it to you. But that means popular items sell out, less popular ones are hanging around years later. furiousdriving-shop.fourthwall.com/en-gbp

You know how I fixed my Rover 75's sudden coughing out and leaving me stranded problem. Well, I hadn't. It did it again, but now I REALLY think Ive solved it. Definitely. For real this time
I hate my xero accounting software so much...They bumped the monthly fee to nearly £40 (which I didnt notice) to add a bunch of AI I dont want, so I put it back to £16 p/m but found the hard way I can only send a few invoices a month now, unless I pay more and deal with AI.
If you're passing Blackbushe airport, you can do some vintage bus spotting-the Heritage Trust have a 1958 Trojan painted for Eagle Aircraft Services in the car park to nose around
We have cold A/C! Suddenly the ML is much nicer to be in when it's 30° or more! New fun problem, the blower selection keeps rolling between windscreen, dash and feet...not sure if this is a bug or a feature
Guess who forgot one of their fog lights was held in by thoughts and prayers? Good news, driving back to where I heard the rattling sound I was able to find it.. Yes it is chipped, yes it was the good one
It's facelift time for the Merc ML - cloudy lights and smashed bumper be gone! Link in the comments
It's FOTU time! The full walk around, see the cars and enjoy the atmosphere of the 2026 Festival of the Unexceptional full walk around!
Did you accessorise your car at FoTU or other shows? I left my old period correct Orange Motorola MR1 phone, a camera and walklman (with a bootleg Motley Crue tape) on the dash. What did you put out?
These two shots sum up the FoTU well, as every year there seems to be a random abundance of a certain model (same as at Rustival), this time it was split between Rover 75s, Mercedes 190s and MX5s - but mostly the Eunos Roadster JDM version
FoTU oddities and rarities - this 1994 Subaru Vivio T Top has driven over form the Netherlands to the show before and is a the perfect parking buddy for a Suzuki X-90 on factory 3 spokes (not forgetting the Pao in the background)
FoTU bound and this time it’s the Punto! I nearly picked the ML as it’s a base model but the fiat will do this trip without the fuel gauge moving!
The Megane has gone to its new owner, who arrived prepared with a genuine Renault high-vis rain poncho from the same year, I hope he wasnt worried about needing it! Hes removed the sat nat holder and also re-purposed the window sticker to fix the dash (Ill send another it it starts to peel up!)
The Scenic is all cleaned up ready for its new owner, who is on a train now and will get to see his new wheels very soon!
Austin 7 Charity shop find! Amazingly the 7 is still taxed, & in 2017 it was still living in Wales with the guy who bought it in London for £20 in 1962. It wasnt owned by the band in '61, the previous owner was driving and the photographer flagged him down! I hope its got better tyres on in now
"After driving the machine along in sea water at the beach or in a shore area full of salt" Flicking through the Whizz Kid manual and the advice is...curious. Im not sure of the lifestyle of SC100 owners they were anticipating, but it explains alot about why there are so few left
Whats the small, city car/off-roader from Suzuki everyone overlooks, but shouldnt? The SX4 of course! Link in the comments
So one time I was driving a down a dirt track* and I felt a thump under the engine. I had the it turned off before the oil light came on and coasted to a stop, only needed to change the sump. I prob would not leave my Rolls running while all the oil fell out *yes, it might have been a bit quick
Good work, bollard. www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfu...
We took a mini trip to Ramsgate for a gluten free fish and chip shop, and for the first time in ages it got cold and rained, dinner in the ML! Excellent tea shelf, 10/10
Week one with the ML-I planned to start Cleaning and servicing it but the car had other plans… Link in the comments
The perfect classic for summer, the Mk1 Golf GTi cabrio gives top down fun with Volkswagen security, and this is the cleanest example I think Ive ever seen! Link in the comments
Hippo met his replacement today, Im noticing a *slight* size difference between the Freelander and ML. Jason has recently spent a ton on the Landy, more welding, a fuel pressure sensor and the prop shaft bearings AGAIN but its running sweet.
A rare spot on the road today - a Mk1 Focus saloon. No one bought them new, and there are hardly any left, this one just in regular use
Only 22 hours until some lucky punter wins the key to the Renault Scenic! (they will also get the rest of the car as well) Who will it be? Not long to find out! raffall.com/423950/enter...
