Anyone here remember the #Motospeed Cannonballs organised by Neil Wood? I'm reviving it. First with a social, then with a drive to follow if there's enough interest.

That's quite a winning fleet there.

In today's episode of Keeping The Past Alive, my Rover now has working electric windows and mirrors. Stay tuned for the next exciting instalment.

Introduced alongside the new Senator, the 1978 Monza was the inheritor of Opel's proud tradition of offering large and quite elegant coupés. The 3-door fastback was the ultimate expression of GM Europe's late-'70s aero look, and had 2.8 or 3.0-litre six-cylinder engines. #carbluesky

At the moment I'm often battling myself. As long as I make it to the end of the week, that's something. Still very much lost for purpose and struggling to find the joy in things. The car hunt is a good distraction, but not sure how that'll help in the long run.

Had more content stolen for an AI video. Scarily this one has a full AI presenter who looks realistic. Over 5000 subs. The person who runs the channel seems quite miffed that I might raise a removal request. Maybe don't steal content? The video is full of clips stolen for all over.

Tried to find an early Volvo S40 or V40 in 2.0 or T4 trim. Those that are left tend to be autos and not manuals. More later examples around then earlier. The T4s are rare as rocking horse. I'll have to forget about that idea for now.

The Renault 25 was mid-way through its life (and proving an unusually successful French large car) at the time of this 1989 brochure introducing a new model to the UK post-facelift range, the V6 2.9i Injection automatic. #carbluesky

Envious. I would love to do a roadtrip at the moment, but even finding the energy to attend a car show this year has proved hard. Hope it was a good 'un.
