Andrea Petersen@andreapetersen.bsky.social · 11h agoOne of the last Peugeot 205 GTIs. Not only would it be a great car to use and keep long term, it would also be 1994 again.
Jalopnik@jalopnik.bsky.social · yesterdayIf you could go back and buy one car brand new, which one would you choose? Are you keeping it forever or cashing in years later?
The De Tomaso Pantera is a brutal, unsophisticated bastard, but they are somehow much much cooler than a Ferrari, aren't they?
Lots of lovely Italian stuff at Fiats and Friends, but check out this flippin' fantastic French tat! #RenaultClio
Shane and Danny Ramsay in a Renault 18 estate. Shane's Holden (or whatever) estate got smashed up by fleeing robbers, following a raid on Des' bank. #CarsOfNeighbours
Fitted a nice handmade knob to the 124. Partly because I didn't like the metal topped original, and mostly because I fell down another 'real' 124 Volumex/ Europa rabbit hole, and just really wanted a gear position diagram on the dashboard. #WeirdCarBS
Horrific spoiler aside, Alfa 939 Spiders are a pretty rare sight. Not quite as rare as the 33 just in shot, but rare nonetheless.
A quick reminder of the time I wondered what a Seicento would look like with its rear side window the right/ wrong way up.
Andy@carbrochureaddict.bsky.social · last wk.The Michael Schumacher edition based on the Fiat Seicento Sporting was limited to 5,000 units worldwide. Mechanically unchanged from the 1108cc, 54bhp original, it had extra trim, badges and side skirts, but seemed rather a cynical move in 2001, though time has since lent it charm. #carbluesky
124 has had to make do with a stand up sink wash, thanks to HP ban, for #FiatsAndFriends on Saturday. Anyone else going?
TBF, I've spent a couple of weeks mostly replacing the garage roof. But today I replaced a blown wheel cylinder on the 33, which despite going smoothly, has f*ckin exhausted me. #GettingTooOldForThisSh1t
And I said, "Let's all meet up in the year 2000" This Rav (spotted on Thursday) was actually registered the week Disco 2000 entered the top 40 in early December 1995.
If you want to see Gina McKee driving a Renault 5, check out the excellent Our Friends in The North on iPlayer. I remember it being big in '96, but was too busy going to the pub and gigging. James Bond was in it too.
Never has a car brochure looked so much like a breakfast cereal box.
Andy@carbrochureaddict.bsky.social · 4w agoDacia Duster sales continued into the early 1990s, latterly with quad headlamps and a Renault 1.6 diesel engine. In 1990 it was the cheapest diesel car in the UK and claimed to have 'renowned capability for tenacious and comfortable cross-country travel'.
He's back! Lovely job, that didn't break the bank, mainly due to the prep' donkey work having been done first, by yours truly. #Alfa33
MotoringGuru@motoringguru.bsky.social · last mo.I've decided to turn the 33 into a Delorean! #BackToTheMetal
It's early July 1993, and you've decided you deserve a new Alfa Romeo, on the new L registration, to be delivered on August 1st. Limited choice, but what a choice! #AlfaRomeo
