The foil hat brigade was already out in force within the day all over my facebook feed claiming it was ‘for sure caused by an electric car’....same lot who think 15 minute cities means freedom of travel for 15 minutes only and will not budge on that meat headed conclusion

The Fiesta is literally one of two ‘starter cars’ of the youth in the UK, next to the Vauxhall Corsa, nearly 5 decades of the ‘option for everyone’ vehicle bought to a halt. When i was learning to drive, the ratio of Fiesta drivers in my contemparies was probably well over the 50% mark, they always drove far better…

word to the wise: do not check the comments underneath any of the Jay Leno instagram posts with Biden. It’ll save you the therapy.

Delivered there many a time on my rounds as a delivery driver. The staff are all in spotless white lab coats and you have to go thru airlocks to enter the building. It really is Bond Villain lair type stuff. Plus all their company vehicles are usually spanking new Mercedes Sprinters.

My mum inherited a ‘78 clubman estate the exact same colour as this one.......was a great second car for years until my dad sold it to an american around 2000-2001, while she was out with my grandmother. If anyone bought a yellow mini clubman estate with the brown stripe for export to the US around that…

My UK spec 2001 Civic hatch with the seats folded flat was a wagon worthy of hauling Rick Wakeman scale synth setups....

Any Brit will tell you the kiss of death for the IS200 was being Alan Partridge’s vehicle of choice in the second series of I’m Alan Partridge. The amount of ‘Lexiii’ quotes thrown around afterwards was the final nail in the coffin lid for its cool factor.

looks like the last part of the original 1960s Thunderbirds TV intro...

Being a Russian ship, i should imagine there had been word of a vocal Putin opponent crossing that bridge that hour of the day...

Assuming they never saw the ‘path of destruction’ episode of Thunderbirds where a machine like this runs riot thru both forests and cities alike?...

Driving my Dad’s VW T4 Transporter van down to Southampton from Wembley arena after seeing KISS do their rocking thing (was at university there at the time and the Old Man only wanted to drive the return journey so he could have a nap)....about 12:30 at night halfway down the A3 , see and hear the blues and twos…

Aw No! The corn!.....Paul Newman’s gonna have my legs broke.

So much of this comes perception of British Culture from the pre-national health service and in-wartime experience of the American GI’s when they came over here to a country that barely had any food, electricity or healthcare to sustain itself in anything that wasn’t merely ‘muddling through’with the Nazis just across…

I live in the same village as him and used to work for him in the pub he ran. A very affable chap who loves to talk cars.

Mmmn.....steamed hams.

my morning school bus ride for several months (UK). In our tall and top heavy ancient and wheezing LDV Convoy minibus (a 40 year old design with a ‘00s facelift)....we had a replacement driver for a while who clearly couldn’t get a job anywhere else...going up the dual carriageway (two-lane highway) to where our…

Our wedding band was doing a gig near the godforsaken country town of Shepton Mallet in the West Country (UK). Our beloved 2001 long wheelbase VW Transporter van had made it down to the farm where, we were told, there would tracks laid down as it had been pissing down all week. No such luck: a marquee set up on the…
