Oh noo!! Glad you're okay but the poor N Box :(
Looks like the damage is just on the bumper? Hopefully a new one can be sourced instead of a insurance write off
Scarily they're very ready to Cat B even the slightest damage, so fingers crossed!

Little red 1985 Honda City on some rather silly 14" wheels from a Mazda that are way too big for a car meant to have 12" wheels lol

That's my lil Honda City Jazz a few seconds in :3
Glad you liked the little display of trinkets and brochures inside! I left the window down slightly specifically so peeps could get pics and peep inside hehe

"Locked by app"?? good heavens why

That last slide noting the extended service interval of 12,000 miles is a funny one to think about. As I understand they simply doubled it from 6K miles without any changes to accommodate it, and the PE166 engines already struggling to oil the heads suffered with the longer oil change interval 😬

I love the Triumph 2000, the Michelotti styling is just superb on these!
The MK II is my favourite especially, the longer front and rear really makes it feel like that 'executive jet'

Ooh wow I hadn't seen a R12 with 4 sealed beams headlights before, only on the Dacia 1310!!
There's something about how they're done on this federal model that looks so commanding and posher than that of the Dacia.
Maybe the chrome trim around the grille and lights?
Four headlights always looks good

Reminds me of Consul Capri taillights!

Red 1985 Honda City Jazz 44hp

Blue 1976 Triumph Dolomite 1850HL

I will be attending!! In either one of these contraptions, perhaps even both! Depending on whether or not a certain misbehaving Volvo 340 is repaired in time

🍋

The handbrake lever with a little piece of metal from a coat hook bent into shape to be wedged in the back of the housing, so that when the lever is lifted, the back of it pushes up against the metal, grounding it out completing the circuit

The dashboard of the Triumph Dolomite with the handbrake light lit up for the first time in my ownership!! Had no idea the bulb even worked

My car didn't have the handbrake lever switch when I bought it, so I fashioned together my own 'switch'.

It's a piece of metal bent up in the handbrake housing that the back of the lever pushes up against when lifted, grounding the bulb lighting it up! Its stupid, but it works!

A rusty old blue 1976 Triumph Dolomite 1850HL

Only an 8 valve, non Sprint version, but I love this sh!tbox <3

Ahh I see! It's the "OD OFF" light but in a more international iconography representation of an upshift arrow.
It didn't catch with me that you'd want to use this regularly since you're towing a caravan!
I hope for the sake of your wallet the torque converter lockup still works with OD disabled?

A close up cropped image of a Volvo 340 gauge cluster, focusing in on the shift indicator light alerting drivers when to change up or down a gear. Flashing green to shift up, and amber to shift down, depending on throttle position and engine vacuum.

My boyfriend has recently bought a 340 for his daily driver, and while his isn't equipped with it, many replacement clusters for them feature a light on the dash telling you when the shift up or down, depending on the light colour I believe.

Ooh interesting, an upshift light in an automatic :0
I wonder what it means, could it be telling you to enable overdrive if you turned it off or mistakenly placed the shifter past D into 2 or L?
Or perhaps does this light signify a trans fault, and is shared with the manual's upshift reminder light?

A blurry low resolution photo of a blue 1976 Triumph Dolomite 1850HL, which looks like it is falling apart but is still being daily driven! Taken on a 2005 compact flash video stills digital camera

Still a good couple spots!
If you'd only gone past the railway to Osney, you'd have probably spotted this dishevelled but dependable contraption

Two dishevelled Citroen 2CVs parked amongst the leaves, slowly being reclaimed by nature

Ooh, I think the first car is an Austin A35 (because it has the big rear window) and the third car is a 4cyl version of a Rover P6, and the last a Ford Zodiac?
Very cool pictures seeing these old cars being slowly reclaimed by nature

I've seen those two 2CVs!!

Oooh could it be a volvo?
I love that the icon for the headlight control is angled to be vertical when the headlights are off, even though the knob itself is at an angle

I feel the same way, I love my 1970s Triumph Dolomite...

However I saw a video from a TV broadcast in the 70's talking about old cars then, saying how good these 1920s are and how they doubt anyone will care about their cars of today in 50 years if they'll even still be running.

Made me feel funny

WiLL Vi!!

A sun damaged silver USDM Ford Sierra badged as a "Mekur".

A sun damaged silver USDM Ford Sierra badged as a "Mekur XR4Ti", parked on a car transporter trailer with no numberplates. Presumably it has not yet had a NOVA or some part of the importing process is still underway

Saw a Mekur XR4Ti recently!!
Spent a while looking around it gorking at the weird USDM-ifications over the usual Sierra, and wondering why someone imported one back here.
Super cool to see!

That's so cool they kept making them for so long!! He looks so delightfully dated for 1987 with lights that don't quite suit the older body.
It's a funny vibe I associate with 2020s Lada Nivas and I like it

Combo C me beloved! For some reason I wasn't expecting a Holden version to exist
Does Ebony have the 1.3 Fiat or 1.7 Isuzu diesel engines?
Or did the Aussie market only offer them with petrol versions

A twin cam two door Holden VL Commodore!

He's just giving a raised eyebrow look 🤨

If I won the lottery, I'd be making my Ford Tempo race car have a transverse FWD 4.0L DOHC inline 8 cyl as the Ford T-Drive lords intended

A champagne gold 1988 Audi 100 Avant 2.0E i5 manual estate

The back of the 1988 Audi 100 Avant showing off the huge estate storage space and split rear window

Inside the cavernous rear of the Audi 100 estate, with the rear 60/40 split seats folded down giving a huge loading area. With a tow bar as well this would've made an excellent hauler of gubbins and transporter of terrible old cars I purchase

The commanding and plush cockpit of the Audi 100. I love the chunky 4 spoke wheel with the large Audi rings uninterrupted by the lines of an airbag. It had its original Blaupunkt 4 speaker auto-reverse cassette radio as well! This would have made such a good autobahn cruiser.

I very nearly bought one last year! I do regret not going for it

Love the C2 and C3 shape and a fuel injected 5 cyl estate car with a galvanised body sounded perfect

Unfortunately a hydraulic lifter seizing during the test drive was a bit of a put off...

Woahh a Victor estate with a Toyota diesel and 5 speed manual swapped in! That's a really rather cool car

I think it must've been! You can also see a huge hole in the passenger side of the dashboard where a secondary steering column would've mounted!

It's amazing British Leyland had access to this snow making technology to position the range of Triumph Dolomites against a background canvas of the Dolomite mountain range for the brochure images!

My tired old rusty blue 1976 Triumph Dolomite 1850HL on daily driver duties as usual

My boyfreind's new Volvo 340DL which refuses to stay working unless it involves driving to or from Salisbury, which it will do happily.

My lil red 1985 Honda City Jazz playing in the snow. Currently broken from a clogged fuel filter, he has been running on 10 year old petrol after all!

The poor baby 1988 Renault 5 which has been off the road now since 2023 (goodness gracious it's really been that long?) after I overheated him and blew his head gasket on the on the stretch of the M4 between Reading and Newbury with no exits for ages

The fleet of which only a third are functional
