I’ll never understand why BMW decided this was the way forward… the fact that they persist with it is baffling to me.

The text bot certainly isn’t feeling chatty…

Extra points for pronouncing Hereford correctly.

He’s got his windows and wheels the wrong way round…

Those are just black Audi wheels aren’t they? Wonder if they’re factory fitted.

My goodness. What a base for a very subtle restomod.

The Bushman looks like a @sniffpetrol.com special, circa 2003

This is one of my lottery cars…

Trail terrains?

<Pats fuselage> “That’s not going anywhere…”

I mean, not welcome by people that want to watch F1 races!

I hear you - but the losses from not running two races are going to be significant too. Tracks all over Europe that are within a days drive from most of the teams whether Italy/UK. I know it’s hard but feels underwhelming from the FIA. A wildcard track would generate lots of excitement I think.

Might be naive of me but feels like some sort of a replacement (even if scaled back) should have been possible. A bit of a scramble but something that an organisation like the FIA ought to be able to pull off.

I can see a police impound from the train on the way to work and it looks like they have a W210 E55 in there. I quite want to save it…

Bit of a GTA vibe!

Much more interesting than talking about “energy deployment” certainly.

Sounds like my local hardware store. Closed on Sundays which is when I always need it… end up going to the big box store instead which I’d always rather not!

Having seen the other guesses I have cheated.. holy moly. Given the history it’s clearly not had an easy life along the way either! Always wanted one - one of the few true “city cars”.

Such an honest car. If you could have one car ever again it would have to be a serious contender. <heads immediately to autotrader>

I think that sort of proves my point about the baseline though - sure, not 25C and sunny - but also no typhoons, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanoes, droughts etc etc. Enjoy the trip - fingers crossed for sunshine!

I have a general theory that because - on a global scale - *most* things are *quite* good in the UK, people don’t realize how good the baseline is. So there’s a general feeling that everything’s a bit rubbish, when really it’s the opposite.

That used to be quite a handsome car… car designers need to understand that more isn’t always more.

Is there another marque that ticks as many boxes as Audi…? Saloons, avants, Q’s, Quattros, RS1 to RS7, R8. Hard to think you couldn’t find what you need somewhere in there. Plus all that motorsport heritage.

A man in a red jacket is leaning into the open rear window of a Buick Roadmaster. The car is pointing away from us and the front left side door is slightly ajar.

Occasionally, if I’ve been very good, Home Depot will send a Buick Roadmaster out with my deliveries. I think I’d genuinely pay a surcharge to see it every time 😬

Modern car designers need to be made to stare at this until they acknowledge that this is good car design and that angry creases and chronic bloat are not!

Turbo R and the Viper. Quite like the fact that they really do not go together, and so actually make a great pair!
