“Hello, is that Gordon Mulvey at Truro Garages? We’ll be there in an hour with cash for that Matra Rancho. Chuck in some mats and flaps, will ya? Maybe a pasty for the road, too.”

2002, somewhere scenic. Lake Geneva, probably. Either way, Honda lined up every Civic you wish you hadn’t ignored.

If Petrolblog did safety cars… it’d be a Renault Laguna Coupé. Marvellous, isn't it?

Last week of the summer hols, late 1980s: a Renault 21 Nevada/Savanna, boiled sweets in the carpet, a dog that definitely wasn’t staying in the boot, Simon Bates’ Our Tune on the radio – and the certain prospect of congestion on the A303 at Stonehenge.

Unlikely Car of the Week is back – and it’s a Suzuki Baleno GSR. One of 600 built, quicker than a Golf GTI, yet anonymous enough to get you mistaken for the loo cleaner at a car show. https://t.co/m31KTMQtiD

#Petrolspot: Chevrolet Matiz. The Fiat 500 that never was. The Pontiac nobody asked for. Designed by Giugiaro. Respect.

Red sky at night, shepherd’s delight. Red sky in the morning, shepherd’s warning that you should enjoy your French car while it’s still working. #pump10

You know what to do, @dansafrane. #frenchtat
I’m trying to convince @dansafrane to buy this lovely Renault Safrane but he’s not taking the bait. Therefore I present it to the masses. 2.5l, 20v, auto with 64k on the clock and one owner. Looks a great car for not even £2k https://t.co/1pJmaH5TX6

Nissan Almera saloon. Probably the rarest car in the Twickenham area. Hashtag shatchback.

Have always been a big fan of the Morris Marine, Dihatsu Applause and Toyota Hiluxe. Reckon an Austin Maxie or VW Pelé could win in 2025.

Family camping and the heavily laden e46 has done us proud getting here yesterday. A spot of #weirdcartwitter #represent going on too. @MajorGav @Petrolblog @MotoringPodcast Need a few more to hide the other logo.
