Fancy a handsome little Charade CXi? Two owners, 54,000 miles, massive service history and MOT to October next year. Displayed at this year's FOTU Concours de l'Ordinarie. 1 of 2 left on the road in the UK. Step this way...
Hot Wheels / Matchbox collection finally sorted - popped a bunch up for sale on eBay as a bundle if anyone is interested.
Trying to build up the funds to get my Probe sorted, hence the sell-off.
Mixed bundle of new, sealed in packet Hot Wheels and Matchbox 1/64 cars. A mix of American, Japanese and European cars. Includes a number of rare and difficult to find models, such as the Ford Sierra RS500s, some Art cars and some Drift models.<br><br>All models are unopened in sealed packs. Most of the packs are in excellent condition, just one or two are a little dog-eared.<br><br>Total numbers: 110x Hot Wheels, 27x Matchbox. There are 5 duplicates as far as I'm aware.<br><br>Postage is UK Mainland only by 'Signed For' First Class. Dispatch within 2 days of the auction closing.<br><br>PLEASE NOTE: I will only sell these as a bundle and will not be selling individual models.<br>

The thing about Twitter is that it really lacks a lot of the features you'd expect from a true Mastodon replacement.
For example, there's no way to edit your toots (which they, confusingly call "tweets"—let's face it, it's a bit of a silly name that's difficult to take seriously).
"Tweets" can't be covered by a content warning. There's no way to let the poster know you like their tweet without also sharing it, and no bookmark feature.
There's no way to set up your own instance, and you're basically stuck on a single instance of Twitter. That means there's no community moderators you can reach out to to quickly resolve issues. Also, you can't de-federate instances with a lot of problematic content.
It also doesn't Integrate with other fediverse platforms, and I couldn't find the option to turn the ads off.
Really, Twitter has made a good start, but it will need to add a lot of additional features before it gets to the point where it becomes a true Mastodon replacement for most users.
So, off to a shoot today and an odd noise, kinda like a grinding going around the corners only. Stopped at Kwik-Fit to check it out. Loose wheel lugs! Went inside to ask if they would torque them...no. can I borrow a tool to do it I asked....no. Sooo you know, I'll just carry on then? Okay.
Fortunately my client was a human and lent me a socket.
How stupid are folk they will let another human drive a dangerous car for what? 30 seconds of their life?!
