My godmother is currently on holiday in France and keeps sending me photos of #Renault/#Alpine related things. I'm not jealous at all as I sit in my office missing out on the sunshine. #WeirdCarBS

Does anyone have a Renault Extra/Express I could borrow for a @carmagazine.bsky.social magazine feature, please? If you do and you fancy a day out in Suffolk on 15th July, I'm all ears.

My colleagues have been working hard putting together a video on the #Dacia Bigster (yes, a slightly odd name, but actually a very capable car). Give it watch if you've got a spare 10 minutes in your day 😊 youtu.be/6X_LF7Uz244

Just when you think you've seen it all.

Had a great morning meeting some of the lovely people from the #Lincolnshire #Rover Club. The cars weren't too shabby either. #WeirdCarBS

A very nice #Mercedes 220 braving the Lincolnshire showers this morning.

The British Motor Museum was also hosting a Traaaaansit show on Sunday, #OTSOT. I remember going into town on Mk2 #Ford Transit buses like the one in the photo (except in Cambus or Viscount livery) when I was a kid, I'm definitely getting old. #WeirdCarBS #WeirdVanBS (is that a thing?)

BL didn’t get everything right in the late 1970s (ahem), but one team who were on top of their game was the one choosing metallic paint colours. The Astral Blue in @robadcock.bsky.social’s post, plus Tara Green, Reynard, Triton Green, Persian Aqua, Platinum…all top drawer. #CarSky

Belated happy Pride Month to all those who partake and celebrate and a massive raspberry to those who somehow get offended by flags with colours.

One unexpected highlight of the Mini show at the weekend was this stunning blue #Morris Marina. #WeirdCarBS

It's #MiniMonday, so here are some Minis from the #Mini and Metro show at the British Motor Museum yesterday.

What happens if you leave a #Matra Rancho and a #Mini Clubman alone in a room for too long? I'm guessing that's what happened to create the Minus Maxi. #WeirdCarBS

Took the #Rover 75 to Caffeine & Machine - The Bowl for lunch today with @tobywakeford.bsky.social, the first time we've been. Food was good and the cars were eclectic. The #Triumph 2000 was particularly lovely. #WeirdCarBS

A mini Mini update. @tobywakeford.bsky.social has been busy and the welding on the driver's side sill is now complete.

Is my mind playing tricks, or could you get the original R5 with a 'wet look' vinyl interior? I might have imagined this. I'm not that bothered. Just wondered, that's all. #Geo3Doodles #FrenchCarFriday #Renault #R5
