Spotted these little guys under the back of an Ineos Grenadier and now they live in my brain
Does seem ironic, given the strength of Tesla's driver-assistance tech, that so many are driven by tailgating morons.
Wandering down Old Broad Street, and noticed "oh, that's not there any more"
I finally own a 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz (.... in 1/18 scale, by Maisto). I've actually fancied one of these since I first saw them in the Florida Mall in 1993 (I was 12). The model isn't particularly high fidelity by today's standards, but it still holds up pretty well.
It's never too hot to drive a black car with black leather and inop A/C... ... if it has a V8.
Don't believe in heaven and all that stuff, but whenever I see a "Christian" being awful I always think how funny it'd be if they get to the pearly gates and St. Peter says "nope, God tells me you were a cunt" and boots them down to hell.
Forgive me for boasting, but this new corner of my garden is one of my very proudest achievements
Volkswagen Arteon really is / was handsome, isn't / wasn't it.
OBVIOUSLY REQUIRE METALWORK APPROXIMATELY THUS FOR MY BANNISTERS DON'T I
Long-range spot (from a moving train); Mk 1 Fiesta looks deliciously crisp.
Rehoming the name placque that my grandparents had over their front door onto our new pergola makes me feel all warm and fuzzy
I don't even care that the A/C doesn't work. That's how much I love this thing
Stag Beetles are cool. Makes me wish I had an N-Gauge model railway to let one loose on.
I'd really appreciate it if YouTube ads weren't almost exclusively for Aliexpress-sourced scam miracle products.
If I was an AI person, I, too would have a display cabinet full of crisps in my living room
Infinite mirrors give this hotel stairwell a Large Hadron Collider aesthetic
Oddly comforting to see a chain-feed dot-matrix printer in front-line use at Rome Fiumicino airport
I like to park my Rover and my BMW in the order that I love them.
Always pleases me to see a 24 year-old car on the drive of a newbuild.
Only managed this useless pic, but a 1988 Suzuki Swift randomly turned into my cul de sac today. On a rare Wednesday working from home, at a moment that I just happened to glance out of the window. Yet I will NEVER win the lottery. Prolly get struck by lightning tomorrow.
Worst thing about an M25 commute is that you encounter the same dangerous pricks the same time every day. The black Model Y with dark tints, weaving through traffic at 90+; the white Tiguan that does similar but with extra tailgating. If you don't like the regulars at a pub, you can use another pub
Yeah I know it's a "budget" Ibis. But even pissing Travelodge gives you a teabag. Pretty sure a £4 teabag paywall is a contravention of human rights
