The other night, I drove the Lancia Stratos in Assetto Corsa Rally. I've previously never been all that interested in it. Not for any reason, it just sat on the back benches waiting it's turn.
Hell, I was not disappointed. The car tries to kill you when you're not looking. Turn a corner too hard? It'll kill you. Put your foot down too much? It'll kill you. Try to slow down too much? You guessed it. It's like an angry wolf on a lead- you've got to keep it in check, else it'll eat you for dinner. Dare I say it... I actually drove it pretty well?
A singing Ferrari engine in this era of body with pop up headlights? I'm sold. I love it. More to follow, maybe a video.

Even a 914 came! They used to be ignored by Porsche owners but they've gained some respect in recent years here.
A few VWs arrived. Seeing as there was no Austrian section, it seemed like the right area to park Erik in. He's a cousin to VWs.
People were actually interested in Frank! 😭
I stuck his show plates on and at the end of it, completely forgot they were on and drove home with them on 🤦♂️
This 1956 VW Beetle is a time machine. Always garaged. The current owners have had it around 20 years, bought from little old lady so low mileage. The interior is all intact and original, even the seats aren't cracked. It's been washed twice in 20 years. Just amazing!
It was Erik's big debut! We were literally screwing the last few bits on him the night before. He still has an oil leak, hopefully get onto that this weekend.
But he was hugely popular and had lots of people come check him out. People were even interested in Frank, I've never had so many compliments about him!
They are both painted Mars Red, and we discovered there's variances in VAGs Mars Red from the 70's to the 80's.
We took Frank and Erik to a car show on Sunday. It's a big one, we took Harry last year and there were hundreds of cars. It's a British and European show, so sorry Roger the Rabbit, you can't go.
Spotted a Cube on the way! @tikibunnyimports

Now #local #elections are back on in my region, the #GreenParty really needs to step up its campaigning to avoid #Reform or worse fash parties gaining a further foothold.
Its not going to be easy as #Suffolk and #Essex are some of the most car-dependent parts of #England - Greens really need to fight back hard against paranoia and conspiracy theories levelled against them and reassure #motorists they are not going to force everyone out of their #cars if they still drive #petrol and #diesel vehicles and pick more realistic timescales for phaseout of these.
As much as I dislike "leaving things to the market", the reality is spare parts for older cars (15-20+ years) are getting hard to find anyway unless popular with enthusiasts, whilst EV's are steadily rising in popularity..
February is cub season for badgers.
Mums with babies only ever go a 500metre distance from their cubs.
If you see a badger newly dead by the roadside please check for lactation (bare area around swollen teats on her underside).
Her cubs have 24 hours before they leave the set in search of mum, and they will die of hypothermia.
Please please share, or post your own toot. Xx

Cars show in Deloraine! This tiny town in remote, northern Tasmania has a few things going on. At least something worth taking a bunch of photos.
Seriously, if you know the names of any of these cars, please tell me. The first one is a Rolls Royce. After that, your guess is as good as mine.
More in the replies.

My friend Ken drove his 1931 MG D-Type to our MG club meeting last night. It was 24F outside. The MG doesn't have recent automotive developments like "roof", "heat", or "windows".
Ken is considerably braver than I am.

The black shit covering the snow? That's from #cars. But importantly, it's not just exhaust soot - it's also pieces of tire (as they wear down). Eg, #microplastics that will end up in the ocean and in our drinking water.
