Saw this today, still a hella stylee looking car.

Meanwhile in East London....

I know the £ is utter wank against most currencies at the moment, but that pricing is proper taking the piss, see also 77.50 Euros for a 14 tooth track cog! Jog the fuck on.

The Muska!

Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2

Looks especially good from the rear, which you'd expect is the view most people would see of it, unless its broken down.

Hot Datsun

Pininfarina Lancia Firminia 28


80's British beef

And I saw this HHS/anti chariot at a zebra crossing made famous 50 years ago. Loads of custom mods, and I now want a car with a megaphone, perfect for London. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/john-lennons-phantom-v-the-story-of-the-psychedelic-beatle-mobile-253088/

Even more hilarious was Arsenal rejected the £30m bid for Iwobi, take the money you muppets.

Those 3 dents tho....and on ebay, naughty naughty. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Eddy-Merckx-MX-Leader-with-campagnolo-Chorus-groupset/362701178502?hash=item5472acc686:g:i9kAAOSwfcddId8C

The Bonnington cafe! Love that place.

Also in love with this, much swoon. Alfa 2000 GTV.

When did bike manufacturers start routing rear brake cable internally through the top tubes of bike frames?

I generally thought it was mid 80's, but that's just from seeing loads of frames from that period with it, but for all I know it may have been tried decades before this.

Anyone know? Is anyone credited with doing it first, if so who? Was it something that originated in the pro-peloton for aero, aesthetic or other reasons, or was it something that started happening by many frame builders at around the same time?

Covering a car in mirrors to drive around Europe in the height of summer, like a mobile blinding death ray doesn't sound like a good idea. It sounds literally like many, many accidents waiting to happen kind of an idea. I can't see Euro-plod being impressed with that plan either, guaranteed pull and cavity search I'd say.

Spotted at Freize sculpture fair Regent's Park


Saw this today too which was a new one on me, PS300R is by Paul Stephens, seems like a UK Singer type, old bodies but modern engines and other upgrades. This has the 3.8 engine from a 993RS, probably soon to be going backwards through a hedge to a fiery death somewhere in Surrey, but what a way to go. Shame about the shit looking shopping trolley wheels, otherwise much want.


And this has been bugging me all afternoon, saw this Aston Vanquish Zagato today, and all I could think of was where have Aston stolen that rear light look from? I was originally thinking its ripped off from the back of a spaceship from Star Wars or some other sci-fi from film or TV, but I can't think what, any ideas? It could also be the back of an F15 plane, or the fire spewing bit at the back of the original Batmobile, any other suggestions?

Ones at the outer edge of the solar system take ages to reach too.

I do love that cedar of Lebanon, shame its forty odd miles away.

I always had a soft spot for the baby Alfa's, saw this minter recently that had me pining.

Saw this super stylish Fiat 130 recently. 3.2l proper 4 seat grand tourer.


The glowing orange velour interior is amazing, so cool its like the set of Barbarella. Best seen on this clip here from 12 mins on this review by a monotone German fan. The car also has a kerb crawling feature of hand operated lever by the driver that opens the passenger door.

Also LOL'd at 16 mins at his German incredulity at how a half arsed Italian engineer thought it was a good idea to have a noisy alarm bell ring anytime you turned the ignition when the handbrake was on.

^Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall fall into a vat of tumeric recently ?

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard

I never had hay fever in my youth, but got it after moving to London in the 90's. I never bothered taking anything for it but just had constantly streaming eyes during the summer, and have had it constantly since then.

Until this year, fuck knows how or why, but it has completely stopped, not even the tiniest tear all year, nothing. Obviously I feel for every hay fever suffer out there as it puts a downer on summers, but to have it miraculously disappear after 25 years feels like I'm a new man, its making summers great again, its so liberating I almost feel compelled to run through the fields like Theresa May.

Wow tell them to get fucked. I'd drop BC affiliation in an instant if they think they have the remit to censor forum content.

It's not as.of they contribute anything financially, in fact I thought it was the opposite, don't you have to pay them for affiliation?

Genuinely shocked at the fucking cheek of it....

Socialists amongst Chelski fans? Are those the ones wearing red trousers?

Sorry can't help, but am pleased to discover you don't have a bad back.

I'm soft pedalling like I've got the worlds squeakiest bottom bracket, in a desperate attempt to avoid getting the blood pumping at all, and liquefying into a pool of stinky ooze. And failing.

.....obligatory but some of my best friends are from Croydon ;)

Wished they'd continued and made us a proper mountain from the remaining detritus that is Croydon.

(detritus-rubble or could be right back for Crystal Palace)

This one?

No breakdown vehicles around when I was there but I didn't hear it running :)
Preferred these two Porsche's personally.

Seamlessly from hedge to porn...........some shiny toys in central London today.
