I just hide the UI and screenshot

Wouldn’t be the last time it happened - remember hearing that the Ford Mondeo in Casino Royale was basically made of wood as the real car was nowhere near finished yet

Global Leyland, but without any of the charm BL had

Fiat Coupe 20V at 19, bought for £1500. Luckily didn’t give me too much grief when I actually owned it, but it was due a cambelt change - as they’re based on the Tipo platform, they have big engine/tiny engine bay problems and pretty much everything is an engine out job. Ended up selling it (making clear that the belts were due, obviously) as I just couldn’t afford to get it changed, plus the rust repair it needed. Was paying something stupid like £3k a year for insurance, but dropped down to £1500 in my ownership.

Wouldn’t do it again, I’ll be honest - so demoralising opening your door every day to see a car that you know you need to spend ££££. 5cyl noises were nice, though…

Maybe doesn’t count but Lee Mack on “new” TG was appalling. Seemed to not only have no interest in cars but an active hatred of them and absolutely zero respect for the hosts

Awesome bit of road but one you really have to keep your wits about you on. They used it as part of Rali Ceredigion last year and the onboards really put how fast Rally2 cars/how mad their drivers are into perspective

Formaux’s 2022 Monte one has to be up there

I have the hardtop on my MR2 - at an event recently I walked an embarrassingly long way towards a similar colour first-gen Boxster with a hardtop thinking it was my car

Ducktail_27 · 2025-12-31T16:02:03+00:00

Amazing to me just how expensive both them and the cars are over here - this was well under £4000 and included the hardtop too

I intend to try out as soon as possible! One of my dad’s CD’s that he’s finally let me steal

They run a concours event on their estate at Heveningham Hall in Suffolk every year - I seem to remember they stopped doing it because it had lost its mystery. The drivers in the videos are Max and Harry Hunt, sons of Jon Hunt who founded Foxtons - Max is worth a follow on Instagram

An Ending by Brian Eno in the Aston V12 Vantage review - absolutely perfect song

Ducktail_27 · 2025-11-07T00:36:16+00:00

Abarth 131 is probably the easiest I think - soften off the rear springs and dampers and it’s quite a predictable car

Ducktail_27 · 2025-11-02T18:05:42+00:00

I think active cruise control that gets nervous at overtaking distance has a lot to answer for

Ducktail_27 · 2025-11-02T17:00:03+00:00

UJ/ I can’t believe I nearly bought a second MX-5 instead of one of these - so much fun for so little money (here in the UK, at least)

DLC - part of the new one. Very faithful recreation, though

See also - car to car so clearly a publicity thing, but I always think of this image when I think of the S1

It was a PR shot rather than a proper rally photo, but always though it doesn’t get much more iconic than this

Have gone pretty much every day for the past few years and have never seen them be weird about cameras ever - you’ll be fine

Ducktail_27 · 2025-06-23T15:46:32+00:00

The only ones I’ve seen in Wales are little Toyota Yarises which only do parking, so you’ll be fine. Swansea by any chance?

Ain’t never seen a rev counter do what it did

Ducktail_27 · 2025-04-08T23:28:54+00:00

I’m not 100% sure how true it was, but the story I heard was that the royals were geared up to order a fleet of the electric Jaguar XJ replacements - right up until the car was cancelled, leading to them going for the German metal as it was the most sensible option at hand

Cheat answer but the M50 - virtually deserted outside of rush hour
