What a sad thing to wake up to, a rare car over here, unique over there and now ruined. Extra sad as the owner loved it and having driven it, I know how nice it was

I’ve been driving borrowed EV’s for the last two weeks and I’ve missed the Merc. However this is the first time I’ve had to use a petrol station in 2 weeks and I’ve not missed these prices!

If closing surely the least expensive radio channel the BBC has (run by a tiny number of people, broadcasting the work of mainly dead people), bothers you, then why not sign this petition you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa...

Every time I go to Bluewater I find Rover 75s! I need to sgo shopping more to see the full range!

Whelp, looks like we've reached that time of year when its not warm enough for towels to dry in the day and not cold enough for the heating to come on and dry them at night, so its damp towels ater every shower till December!i

The 2CV concept is getting lots of fuss, but the Fiat Multiplay looks much more fun! Cues from the OG 600 Multipla and (in the front light bar) the new one, its a flexible MPV and SUV/pick up thanks to its changable interior and Metamorfosi moving C pillar Will they make it? No. Should they? Yes!

As of last night, the 75 was still running... (if you dont know what Im talking about, check the link!) youtu.be/5HkIZlScNR4

Id forgotten this moment when I drove into the Matrix on the way home from 6D Diesels with the Crown Vic, when I passed 'my' W163 Merc ML. Does anyone else get unnessesarily excited when they see a car twin of theirs on the road, that you dont see so much anymore?

Masive thanks to the very kind viewers who kindly donated an unwanted battery & bucket jetwasher at Rustival after mine literally fell apart. This badly needed some Diamondbrite Ceramic Snow Foam as it was filthy, & Hippo the Freelander visited and you wont belive how the wheel gime we cleaned off!

Good news! The Escort repairs held up all the way the retest, the LX is road legal for the the new owner!

As is often the case, Im browsing ebay looking for that elusive sub £500 Austin 7, and to my mild surprise, someone thought ebay was the ideal place to list their 1936 Bugatti Type 57 Atalante, a snip at £1.8 million. I guess he had no joy on Marketplace? Also only 5 photos and none of the interior

After leaving seperately from different locations at different times, the ML and Escort somehow wound up next to each other in the motorway services on Friday night!

How Rustival started, and how it ended - 6AM outside the British Motor Museum on Satuday, and a delicious brunch at Gilks Garage Café before heading home om Sunday! The bit in between is a blur

The bumpers only a mother could love are shined up ready for tomorrow, thanks to some Diamondbrite Replenish, ready for my friend to collect and take to Rustival later!

So, fun fact, £100 currently buys less than 3/4 of a tank of diesel in the ML...

This is a curious one...a camera thats all viewfinder, no screen and also happens to be a light meter when you're using film cameras. Yes, Ive been busy on Click Bait again! youtu.be/qpGFw8KFXdY

You’re right—that plane shouldn’t have gone there. That’s my fault, and I should have made sure there wasn’t a terminal in the landing path. Would you like me to call emergency services, or assist with lining up takeoffs?

Every now and then I see myself referred to as an "AI Denier" and I want to be clear I acknowledge "AI" exists, it's just I think it's a massive energy drain, created from theft, implemented poorly for inappropriate tasks by loathsome tech executives who get hard at the idea of the rest of us dying

ML to the rescue! A neighbour's XC90 gearbox went boing in a very terminal way, leaving their large caravan stranded. These old tanks can tow over two and a half tonnes so I loaned him the W163, and it he was able to take the caravan back to storage. Good Merc!
