My Paramedic big sis had been struggling health wise all week couldn't make it down the stairs to get the groceries we brought round. Ambulance was called and she's been admitted to the local COVID-19 hospital, put on Assisted breathing
All we can do now is wait ❤️
One of my Facebook friends just bought a Lancia Scorpion and this was in the documents
This was probably the worst ever decision to trade in ever for another car
So someone seems to have stolen an undisguised Lancia Ypsilon prototype and dumped it in a river local to the factory
That's a hell of a story right there!
Coldest day of the year and of course the heated seat switch has given up
Called into the Renault dealer to get one
Renault or Dacia he asks?
Alpine
So Dacia then he says....
My brother had a massive accident in his brand new Hyundai Tucson tonight, airbags everywhere, total write off and he walked away with a few aches
I love my old cars but...
One of the rarities of the automotive world, the boot lid of the Fiat Strada/Ritmo cabrio opening
This is as amazing as the Subaru passing light that was featured in the recent

Driver's heated seat has failed and one door mirror has decided that it doesn't want to motor out in the morning on opening the car

Had to drive Joan's new Hyundai there to lunch and looked at the average MPG
This is a one litre car that has hybrid assistance in 2023 that is getting the fuel economy of a thirty year old Mondeo....
Joan messaged from her ward, they are able to turn down the Assisted Breathing a little as the oxygen in her blood is rising and I quote "None of this fucking no flowers thing at my funeral. I want fucking flowers and fuck loads of them"
I think she's feeling better...
Found another Ami in the wild, in true poverty spec. The owner walked up and said* "It is beautiful, non?"
*Well they actually said something in French first and then swapped to English as I flapped about like a linguistical dead squid
Car magazine reporter - The new Bentley is very heavy, as an engineer does this not bother you?
Ulrich Eichhorn, Bentley Engineer - Cars are getting heavier by 20 kg every year on average, but Bentleys have weighed two and a half tonnes since 1923, so at least we're consistent...
Serous Monday blues today. I think I'm having a genuine mid life crisis and it's been going on for weeks... It's just all so forking bleak ATM. My brother is terminal with the big C, my aunt is slipping away at 84 and is the last member of that generation, I don't recognise the
I'm at Chester services and just watched a man walk across the forecourt and get into a blue Nissan, look confused at the woman in the car, get out and walk over and get into a blue Honda Jazz
Think that says it all about Jazz drivers....
Seen a thread on what car would you drive from the decade you were born
Well this is mine, but with a full webasto sunroof. Think there are only about 4 left but that would be my lottery win choice from the 70s
Well we did it yesterday! We traveled 3500 miles from Northern Ireland to Vermont with our Fiat and got married in the little town of Jericho. Now we just have to drive to California for the honeymoon!

After 10 months off after covid it's my sisters first night back on the road as a Paramedic out of the Royal Victoria and she sent me this, says its like she's never been away
I'm really proud of her ❤️
I just want to absorb this amazing machine, the exposed F1 engine and frame from the Alain Prost 1993 World Champion Williams Renault car, the ducts that would suck in a small child as you pass at 186mph...
