The local Facebook group is up in arms because a 2 mile stretch of 60 mph road is being considered being switched to 50 mph. A whole 25 seconds slower. Fast road, seen cars in hedges. But hey, you’ll want those 25 seconds to sit at the traffic lights…

Probably going to miss the start of N24, but think I’ve got a valid excuse.

Wondering if I could some how rig up a pipe from my EV into the house and whack on the air con. That or I go and sit in the car in my drive. Maybe sleep it in.

I have just seen a picture of a 1st gen Nissan Leaf that’s been converted into a Hearse and I needed to share it with #WeirdCarBS. Glass side, B-Pillar and all passenger seats removed. What a way to go.

I'm wondering if I've discovered the reason for the power loss at higher revs and the mysterious backfire after seeing another TR7 Seems my TR7 is missing all the pipework for the air intake temperature control system All these symptoms are mentioned in that systems fault finding page #WeirdCarBS

Sadly I wasn’t able to park the TR7 next to it. I’m not ashamed to say it, I love a lambo. Just bloody bonkers. #CarBluesky

A fantastic #WeirdCarBs thread. Sooz, come back to cars. 90s shit boxes are cool again, all that knowledge would go down a storm at the local car meet.

BBC News just now.

british fan chat

Went to the local TR owners club monthly meet tonight for the first time with the TR7. Was too busy chatting cars to folks to take any pictures. Was excellent. Well I did take pictures of the other TR7 that was there as his engine had some extra pipes that mine doesn’t. So puzzle for the morning.

Hello #Oxford - if you're around on Monday you're all invited to come and celebrate the first images from the @vrubinobs.bsky.social. We're running a free event at 6pm in Oxford Physics: www.physics.ox.ac.uk/events/vera-...

Wondering if anyone had a named contact at British Motor Museum, my 14 year old has an interest in working as a classic car mechanic in future Was hoping to see if they have any work experience opportunities @hubnut.bsky.social @mattfd.bsky.social @ajpbradley.bsky.social @frontseatphil.bsky.social
