Instagram has served up some “on this day” memories for me. A picture from 2019, and another from the first lockdown in 2020. They seem worlds apart.

I did a decent job polishing this thing the other day. I can’t get over how much that colour comes to life when the sun hits it. #vanlife

With fleet changes imminently on the cards it’s with a heavy heart I’m advertising the Dodge Polara. Been a great two years of ownership. This car is the most reliable of the fleet&a form of therapy to drive.After 11k ono,but less if one of you’d like it. Deserves a good home❤️

I think someone may have moved the Severn crossings upstream. Interesting view of the motorway network Merthyr might have needed it it had continued as the Welsh capital.

Ah yes, the M4 London to Llandovery motorway, tramping past Stroud and across the Bannau Brycheiniog. 🤭

New work for @pvw_mag - the incredible 1,900bhp (yes, really) DOP Motorsport Lupo 3L drag car. Lunacy. 🙌🏻

Considering the amount of flake it has, I can’t get over how different the paint looks when it’s clean and the sun hits it. I had this very car on test over Christmas and didn’t notice it was metallic. Here it is on New Year’s Day.
If you’re in Cardiff and wondering why the weather has turned, it’s because I spent yesterday afternoon washing the e-Rifter with the kids then gave it a polish. Basically a rain dance.

Really enjoyed this one on TV earlier. Must get down to one of these some day.

The Miniot Wheel 2 is a record player that can be placed flat on a table, mounted on a wall, or at an angle on its supplied stand. It plays your records from the back, meaning there is no outwardly visible tone arm, cartridge, or electronics. Link: https://t.co/YbEsaXi5bm

2008 Impreza WRX STI, Ferrari 360 (private plate), MGB and an E90 320Si, plus a very noisy GT40 replica which isn’t on our road but it’s close enough - we can hear the owner back it out of the garage.
What sporty or interesting cars live on your road? Don’t give your location away and your own cars don’t count. @TheDanProsser has a Clio 197, a previous shape BMW M4 and a Skoda Octavia vRS. Sure you can do better…

I used the nuclear option at the start of March, restored from backup, cleared the issue. It’s taken six weeks for almost a quarter of the memory to fill up again and I’m back to where I started. It feels like a built in obsolescence thing, as my old SE did something similar.
@A1GOY Don’t get me started. I have no idea what’s taking up all that space. I’ve tried everything I can to clear it, other than starting from scratch. The nuclear option is starting to appeal though.
