I'm calling it.
Coolest family wagon in the Algarve

Just an "I love my car" post

It's ironic, really; the Model T was designed with rough tracks and unmade roads in mind, and, more than a hundred years later, we're better off in SUVs that are designed with rough tracks and unmade roads in mind.

Kind of, but for half the price of the E. Also makes it pretty hopeless if you can't plug in overnight at home. But yeah, my wife commutes five days a week in her i3 and only has to use rEX to get home on the fifth day. So the Super-N would probably work for her.

£19k Honda Super-N First Look – RIP Renault 5? YouTube video by What Car?

My turn!
First full-length What Car? video.
Yeah, the range is.... modest... but the Super-N is pretty neat in other regards

Also... for the train nerds... it's very exciting to me that this train is made up of three joined-up three-car (plus power car) Class 755 bi-mode (electric and diesel electric) units rather than the usual single 12-coach Class 745.
Fewer seats... BOO.
More engines... YAY.

Also, use realtimetrains.co.uk to find out which platform it's on; in my case the 20:00 was ready to board at 19:31, so a seat is guaranteed.
The big departure board will keep the platform number close to its chest for a good while longer.

Found the showroom display plates for my E39 and it makes me happy.

I'm powerless to not post a tidy early MG ZT 190 in Monogram Typhoon when I see one.

Anyway. Here's an old Toyota Avensis Estate.

It's an E-tron GT, but I see what you mean

I'd miss my E39's V8 noises, but I could otherwise adapt to this as a two-car garage with consummate ease.

This spread makes it feel like I'm reading the 2049 Observer's Book of Aircraft and not something from 76 years ago

I never had the SLK, but I do have a Peugeot 206CC. Must be one of the most niche 1:18s I own.

Maisto made one that was quite good, but UT Models (evolved into AUTOart) made one that was superb.

Took all my resolve not to buy this for £30 posted.
Maisto did two versions of the E36 Conv. One sans roof, one with a working soft top – and I've kind of wanted the latter since I was 12.
I mean, the roof looks kind of horrendous when it's up, but it's soo damn cool in every other regard.

I'd travel on this just for the crack

Missed the boat on these, too

I have every intention of learning Japanese from my JDM brochure collection.
Also, the annual "Japanese Vehicle Guide Books" are indispensible. Wish I had more.

I was all..."so why did they switch from miles per hour to kilometers?"

A Mk1 Mondeo Estate still scores highly in the 'all the car you'll ever need' stakes. Handsome thing, too

Mk1 Zafira.
Vauxhall owes me for the portion of my brain still occupied by 'Flex 7' seating.

A reminder of Mercedes-Benz's key principles.

A reminder for Mercedes, that is

what a time to be alive

Your occasional reminder of how far family car design hasn't come in the last 50 years

Latvia and Lithuania are both wonderful, and I can't get enough of Estonia. Stunning country.

British Rail Mk2 coaches are long obsolete (this one is in a museum), but the seats were WAY comfier than anything in service today.
