Instagram has served up some “on this day” memories for me. A picture from 2019, and another from the first lockdown in 2020. They seem worlds apart.

I did a decent job polishing this thing the other day. I can’t get over how much that colour comes to life when the sun hits it.

With fleet changes imminently on the cards it’s with a heavy heart I’m advertising the Dodge Polara.

Been a great two years of ownership. This car is the most reliable of the fleet&a form of therapy to drive.After 11k ono,but less if one of you’d like it. Deserves a good home❤️

Considering the amount of flake it has, I can’t get over how different the paint looks when it’s clean and the sun hits it. I had this very car on test over Christmas and didn’t notice it was metallic. Here it is on New Year’s Day.

If you’re in Cardiff and wondering why the weather has turned, it’s because I spent yesterday afternoon washing the e-Rifter with the kids then gave it a polish. Basically a rain dance.

The Miniot Wheel 2 is a record player that can be placed flat on a table, mounted on a wall, or at an angle on its supplied stand.

It plays your records from the back, meaning there is no outwardly visible tone arm, cartridge, or electronics.

2008 Impreza WRX STI, Ferrari 360 (private plate), MGB and an E90 320Si, plus a very noisy GT40 replica which isn’t on our road but it’s close enough - we can hear the owner back it out of the garage.

I used the nuclear option at the start of March, restored from backup, cleared the issue. It’s taken six weeks for almost a quarter of the memory to fill up again and I’m back to where I started. It feels like a built in obsolescence thing, as my old SE did something similar.
