If I went to buy a car and heard a man talking like that auctioneer, I would turn around and leave the building.

ex barkeep here.

if you’re polite, open minded, have a broad palate and will accept with good humour if you don’t like it, you’re all good.

if you say “mmm nah i don’t like (X)” then expect another suggestion, or you’re going to complain and expect a freebie if you didn’t like it afterwards gtfo

category is: longitudinally mounted engine, front wheel drive

a shame to come all this way & not play in christchurch imho.

Hopefully they get some racing in before the storm…

tell us another one about the spark plugs, j

maybe 2 years ago? tried (admittedly not hard) to find it but couldn’t. maybe a human editor did eventually cast an eye, even if it was already published.

haven’t followed since. i miss what they used to do

it used to be the pitchfork of the motoring press…

there was one a while back that felt like an LLM doing a quirky bit on gearboxes. a baffling conflation of the “Dog Leg” and “Dog Ring” which could only have been published by someone (or something?) with no understanding or experience of either.

great idea

New Holden Commodore!

Cassette DJ setup?

They call him Figgy ‘Pudding’ Earnhardt. We all want some.

I’m really just here on bluesky to catch up with motorsports and car stuff briefly every day (after a 90% social media detox) so forgive the comment from a random lurker, but it’s a real inspiration to see the care and love you’ve given your dad. God bless, keep it up. ❤️

isn’t it the same box as the 205gti?

not many of those around in the us the cannibalise either to be fair.

looks like quaife will sell you a straight cut dog box gear set for about £3k? 😂

i know a guy in christchurch who has a runner and a donor…

can’t wait for zak to leave so i can be a mclaren fan again

i always imagined as a youngster i would have a big quirky fleet of vehicles by the time i was 40, but instead i had kids young and have had to make a series of v pragmatic purchases.

instead, i spend 20 odd minutes on bluesky most days looking at other folks’ car and motorsports content 😂

pleased to offer valuable perspective as a rando on the internet.x

a true motorsports unicorn.

you have heaps of cool cars, old electronics gear and cats. that’s plenty to show for it. if all the cars and hifi gear worked you wouldn’t have anything to tinker with.

Good for up to 80,000kms before it needs an engine replacement, too.

is that grimes?

Thanks! I’ve put my $0.02 in over there now too.

Seems like only paid members can comment so I’ll let you know my prediction here : SVG oval win. 🏉
