Car obsessed; artisanal, analog experiences oriented. DIY wannabe. Dreamer. Optimist. Skeptic.

Sports cars, muscle cars, trucks, vintage... I love them all.

I try to stay automotive focused on this instance.

@davidwilkins I've been thinking about these a lot lately. I was thinking about getting another Samurai for back roads gravel trail duty but maybe I'll try something different this time. Or an Iltis, but like these better just for looks. And mildly lifted/built they look great.

This Volkswagen 181 from 1971 originally served with the German armed forces and eventually turned up in the UK, where it was recently on display at the Practical Classics resto show. Like the recently featured Mini Moke, it was an attempt to produce a light military utility vehicle using components from a cheap mainstream road car, in this case the Beetle.

We have a sad tale today from Manchester Piccadilly station.

This is Chocolat. Or at least that's the name printed on their foot.
They're a lovely, cuddly black kitty who was sadly separated from their owner on Platforms 3 & 4 about 19.14.

We heard a tinkle of broken glass and helped their owner tidy up however she had left before I could pass this lovely kitty back to her owner.
Unable to find her on the nearby train we are a bit lost.

Please share this far and wide, across any social media and maybe we can help reunite this poor kitty with their rightful owner.
We will ensure Lost Property here look after her in the meantime.

@janusfox It's a weird time for vim with the vibe coding and non-ai forks of it happening.

An Alfa joined us, more Fiats arrived for their event.

@CowMan Yeah, my Dad was in the military - housing near Quidi Vidi doesn't appear to exist any more.

My family is on the Northern Peninsula but I haven't been back since 2014.

@CowMan I haven't been to St. John's since I moved away ~40 years ago (yikes - how'd that happen?).

I was clicking around in one of the online map sites a few weeks ago and I barely recognize the city.

Where I used to live has been flattened and doesn't exist any more. Ha.
