Happy 2026 folks! If you want to confirm I’m still alive (or just check if I ever was) I’ll be talking about a small chunk of #TheCollection at Reigate Library 10.30, 14 Jan. facebook.com/share/14RnmMFR…
Starting to feel real now
Still spaces if you want to have breakfast at Joe Macari and lunch at The Classic Motor Hub next week

Did not know there was a vid of Bourdain and Balboni legally doing 180mph on public roads
Doesn’t get much cooler than that 😂

@nieuwenhui2@jeckythump Yes I thought so too and took a risk on it. Further review though shows that these things are usually sold as aftermarket 30s stork mascots and generally reach the same price at auction as I’ve paid retail 🤷♂️
My haul from yesterday‘s autojumble. The early scale electric races and the Cortina Mark one light lenses were on my shopping list. The rest were nice surprises. The Allegro rear lamp was even free.
😊
@nieuwenhui2@jeckythump So far however my research has revealed that the rarest thing I bought seems to be the Cadillac soap by Avon. Have yet to find another picture of it let us learn another for sale anywhere
Remind me to book my own room the next time I go away. Not much sleep thanks to my eldest who couldn’t sleep & kept telling me.
Anyway, Good Morning from Torquay! Went for a walk whilst waiting for breakfast to open&spotted these two beauties. Now out of my sleep deprived funk😎
In other other news :
I'm off to Beaulieu Autojumble on Saturday with that esteemed gentleman @mrjaydeeem
Anybody else ?
I did ask @munchcorp but he something about ironing his shoelaces
@sjlyons50@MotoNutJob@munchcorp Glad to hear that operation has been successful. Mine certainly was too, and I’m feeling a whole lot better since waking up from it in February. :-)
If you’ve ever been on an Autobahn and seen a sign for an Autobahnkirche and wondered what that was all about, same here. It just so happens there’s one at the services where I stopped for coffee, so I had a quick look. This is the Autobahnkirche St. Christophorus, Baden-Baden.
