Digging the scene with the #gasoline : Former rally driver and #motoring journalist "Uncle" YS Khong from #Malaysia advises young #drivers how to save #petrol ( even though Malaysia has its own oil reserves and refineries, its still affected by #war in the #MiddleEast )
You can also hear #Malaysian English or #Manglish in this video 😁
The petrol stations in suburban Malaysia are larger and bigger than UK, and even have small restaurant areas with proper tables (my cousin said the food at them is very good, it is better than you would get here in Blighty)
One article from *1980* mentions developments in #AutomaticGearboxes - and even dual-clutch #transmissions - and that AP (Automotive Products, a British company which already made an innovative 4 speed auto 'box for the #Mini and other smaller #BritishLeyland #cars) was developing a 6 speed model.
Nothing much came of this development until almost 25 years later when #Volkswagen and #BorgWarner (formed from a company set up by AP in early 20th century!) picked up development and put the #DSG 'box in mass production in 2003 with the #DQ250 (my own car has a newer version of this 'box!)
Snagged complete set of of Marshall Cavendish #CarMaintenance and #Motoring partwork "On The Road" from 1978-1981 (in 10 binders)
If you are #GenX you may remember your dad buying at least some of these if he was into #cars (although to get the entire partwork would have cost about £300 (2026 money) in total, so relatively few people actually got whole set of 140)
These were sold not only in #UK but across #Commonwealth countries where folk drive on the left, one cool thing is all units are #metric first (with Imperial equivalents added afterwards)
Fair play to the previous owner, it looks like they did definitely make use of the section on changing #HeadGasket in #BritishLeyland engine 😁

Ah, the FUN MG. So fun. So pretty. So immobile. I have waved the white flag of surrender. 🏳️ It’s off to Guy St. John’s British Car Spa and Rehabilitation Clinic for a laying on of hands more skilled than my own.
(I have my suspicions, but Guy is suspicious of my suspicions. We shall see, but the bettin’ money is on Guy, who runs Guy’s Garage in Ann Arbor.)

To finish off this thread, two bonus shots from the Tokyo Auto Show recently that a friend went to. The Mugen Super One!

We wandered back to the Honda stand for one last look then got out of there as the crowd was only growing bigger. Some BYDs were outside.

There was a Japanese import co with one of these monstrosities. What's the original car underneath?
@rootwyrm tells me it's this:

if #Maldon #Essex high street is "thriving" to the point folk are #parking in dangerous places and arguing with one another in the street, surely its a sign its reached capacity and it wouldn't be a big issue if some folk do their shopping online instead, or if they have #cars then just drive to Chelmsford, or if they actually live in the town consider another form of #transport ?
I had a look myself and I suspect a big reason is folk simply being too stubborn/lazy to find the Council car parks and insisting they should be able to park in the middle of the High Street (its not the 1970s any more!)

And FTN motorbikes were there too, all the way from NZ!
@KiwiEV has done an excellent video on these bikes
Savic motorcycles were there, and had some on display

Electric motorbikes made in Australia!
The young lad (David Borst-Smith, his dad EC Borst-Smith worked for #BMC / #Rover as a publicity manager and wrote many books about cars and trucks for Ladybird as a side hustle) from the "this engine is woke" meme (originally from a Ladybird children's book of the 1960s) is still alive, and now lives in USA!
The car is a #Wolseley 15/60 and the "woke" engine is a BMC (British Leyland) B-series from the days when #Britain still had a #car industry *and* strong trade unions, so perhaps the meme is true 😁
BYD had a big stand and no wonder, they are selling bucketloads. They had the Atto 1 there, their cheapest EV. $24K will get you one.

Hotwheels had a display that must have been good, a massive queue had formed. Hopefully the kids got something for free and not just gouged for some product.
