A few people told me that but I’ve been here a couple of days and only seen 2. LOADS of AMG G-Waggon wankermobiles, for some weird reason. Anyway, I’ve been stood avoiding this typhoon thing as I forgot my brolly so have a picture of a shite taxi. No idea of make or model but it’s a pleasantly dated shape, this three box design. Ps - 4am and can’t sleep 

Toyota Crown Comfort ?

[edit] I really like the design of those rims

its the impact gun @RoverFolkUs uses for customer car wheels where the wheel nuts have previously been done up to Millionty footpounds by someone at a quick-fit or such,  you put the socket over the whole wheel and tyre, and it just sheers entire wheel/all the nuts off the hub for you in one swift ugga-dugga 

It also slots over the head of irritating customers and fucks them off into orbit. A useful tool indeed!

Went for a play on Hartside  (A686 Penrith to Alston) in the Impreza and for once got a clear run all the way up. Had a Caterham for company some of the way , thought he’d be faster and overtake but he never did. 
Lots of bikes out mostly coming the other way . Some committed knee down cornering on show.

Am in Japan. Saw this Mini, and I’m sharing the dragons head thing because it matches my expression exactly at seeing British chod so far from home. Off to spot more stuff tomorrow if anyone is interested?

 

I really like that. Would peel the shopping list off the door mind. 

Also yes, keep them coming.

On a similar note to the above, I've been in Madeira this week and it's great to see some old shite in good nick and getting used regularly. 

Have some pics 

[motorpunk]

I think I’m up the posh end of Tokyo. There’s a Porsche dealership nearby and enough G Wagons to restock the rugged, mountainous streets of Chelsea. No pics because I think they want you to take pics. Have this delightful Golf instead…

Went to that Daikoku thingy place where all the car people hang out. There’s a monsoon so few people went but some pics anyway… white Elise was great. I terrified the owner by attempting to talk to him.

This is from 2015…

The teapot was designed to enhance the horticultural event’s Mad Hatter’s Tea Party concept in the grounds of the Duke of York Square in south west London. 

The installation features two bar stations inside that serve up the British summer drink. Designed to look like an old lady’s living room, the interior has been decorated with retro wall paper, antique-style cupboards and framed pictures to match the history of Pimm’s.

The big kid in me will always smile amd wish I had one of these...... 

I need a kei car or other pocket rocket in my life.....

I'm in front of the magistrate today in Ipswich for reasons tedious and boring. Have delayed my start at work in the Cotswolds to attend and will be making my way across country when done here. 

The grin is that i decided to turn this into a mini adventure and break up the journey by travelling up last night. 

Spot of wild camping on the Suffolk coast.

Set up in darkness though when i woke in the morning seems I choose well.

Forgot the filters so coffee in a sock

Was followed by a swim

Lovely start to the day. Hoping the magistrate had a great morning too and is feeling the love.

Chopped Atrai?

this made my day… the Japanese bloke on the right, there’s a virtual curly-wurly to the first person to guess who he is. You wouldn’t expect him to daily an Abarth 500 or have a small collection of historic racing cars either.

clue; born from an egg on a mountain top.

ps - he’s a neighbour of someone I’m working with

They are the best of the lot. I used to buy big bags of them from fleetwood market then make myself quite unwell by eating them all at once.
