@DiecastHype I really like that Mazda.

Lamley showing off one of the hottest sets of the year! I’m really looking forward to the Silvia. What about you? #HotWheels Photo Credit: The Lamley Group

Last night, my missus said to me "You never take me anywhere expensive anymore!" I said "O.K. Get your coat on, let's go." She said "Ooooooh, where are we going?" I said "The bl**dy petrol station!"

@NoContextBrits I've got a Blur alarm clock, so I get up to the sound of 'Parklife' every morning, except on Wednesdays, when I get rudely awakened by the dustmen!

@NoContextBrits ...and then the baker said "That's nothing, you should see what I use to make the holes in the doughnuts!"... Thankyouverymuch, we're here all week.

When the jam doughnuts make a funny joke.

@GeorgeCochrane1 Ford Capri today. I like the idea of joining CI5.

Fuego, Renault Fuego... Reserved.

@GeorgeCochrane1 Gotta love an FD.

Today is my birthday. I've made it this far!

@GeorgeCochrane1 Cortina estate, and I just happen to be in that very town right now.

Safari, Citroen CX Safari... Reserved.

@BigBearF1 I got banned from B&Q. A shop assistant approached me and asked if I wanted decking, so I thought I'd get in first!

When Miley Cyrus dances nearly nude and licks a hammer, it’s called art. When I do it, I get kicked out of B&Q….! 😂🤣

What with petrol prices and so on, probably a good time to wheel this cartoon out again...

@RealPaulPutner I have searched high and low for ‘Happy Peter Kay Throws Out ‘Garlic Bread’ Heckler Anniversary’ cards…. Nothing!

It's been little over a year since those two audience members were ejected from the Manchester Arena for shouting "Garlic bread" during Peter Kay's comedy show. Sadly, we've heard nothing about how the pair have been coping since. Isn't it funny how short people's memories are!

@DiecastHype I bought the ‘84 Mustang last weekend. Not bothered about the others.

🎯 after work! Cool set, but left them all.

@CandSCmagazine Escort… I had two of those back in the day.

Would you take the Ford or the Austin for a drive this Sunday? ➡️ buff.ly/xZ4mJqY

Of course, there was crime back then. But it wasn't as bad as today.

My girlfriend told me she was leaving me because I keep pretending to be a Transformer. I said, "No, wait! I can change."

People often talk about how great comfort food can be, but take my advice and don't try the drink!... Disgusting! Tastes like fabric softener!!!

@BigBearF1 O.K. so I didn't win Best Fancy Dress with my Giraffe costume, but at least I can hold my head high!

I couldn't sleep last night because I kept thinking about how long it would take for a giraffe to throw up. 😆🤣😆🤣😆

I've recently bought a jumper made from Golden Retriever fur... My mates gave me some stick, but my wife thought I looked fetching in it. #crufts2026

I threw a ball for my dog in the park earlier today... A bit extravagant perhaps, but it is his 10th birthday, and he looks great in a tuxedo! #crufts2026
