The local E30 3 Series Touring is still going strong and looking a perfect fit in classy surroundings. Also, I've always had a bit of a thing for estates with the same rear lights as saloons. I'm odd like that.

This feels like when you're playing with 1/64 cars and a sibling tries to join in with a 1/43.

Austin A40 sounded charmingly flatulent as it blezzed past on the A316.

Fab to see an MG ZS180 still around. Still seems a bit wild to imagine Rover putting its own design of V6 into the hull of a Honda Civic. KV6 sounds great, too.

My battery charger looks like an evil robot Zoidberg

It's school trip in 1991 time. I'm packing Marmite sandwiches, a Trio, a bag of Spicy Tomato Monster Munch, a Blue Raspberry Panda Pop and packet of cola flavour fizzy Chewits. And I've borrowed my Dad's Olympus Mju camera.

Time for my occasional Mk1 Ford Ka worship post. My parents' R-reg was an absolute riot to drive. Dad found one of the spark plugs had corroded into the head. That plucky Endura-e (crossflow) mill functioned along similar lines to the tech that George Stephenson used to deal in.

The R129 Mercedes SL. Deliciously subtle. Not a line out of place. Almost plain by today's standards, but then I could eat vanilla ice cream by the bucketful.

I occasionally think of the Skoda advert with a Fabia made of cake, and it makes me feel hungry.

Posting a Fiat Stilo in case nobody else does today (fairly safe bet). I think these look great.

On Sunday evening, here's a Peugeot 206. Built in Coventry, and they were everywhere when I was at Uni. I never really liked them, though. Bit of a damp squib after the 106, 205 and 306. Nice to see one being cared for, though.

Tidy E36 318i. It's going to be a fairly sedate drive, but a damned enjoyable one.

The world will be a less colourful place when the Isleworth Barchetta finally turns up its toes.

Here's a Class 455 Electric Multiple Unit. It's almost as old as me, and I'll be sad when they're no longer around.

Possibility that this Honda CR-V's boot-mounted picnic table doubles as a Black & Decker Workmate.

V6 Mazda MX-3! Sounded glorious. Wobbly pic, but vital live-action reportage.

Lifestyle-ready Saab 9-5 Aero is always a welcome sight, and subtle sticker for local specialists Abbot Racing suggest it's in good hands.
