Thats a Subaru Sambar, a little Kei van, that's had the front end messed with.

Resolved the Veedub reliability issues at a stroke though!

Getting tyres fitted yesterday there was a MK 1 Fiesta, some kind of rough looking track car, bet it is an absolute hoot to drive. There was also a 2.0 P11 Nissan Primera that one of the lads that worked there was going to turn into a touring car replica. Had the previous P10 eGT and was a fantastic car. Probably dull as a dishwasher too some, but people that owned them knew they were a really underrated gem, more so compared to the competition back then.

A couple of car enthusiasts there (as opposed to the pimp my ride gang)

Saw this beauty at B&Q today. Beautiful condition with a lovely patina, either original or an older (and very well done) resto.

Growing up, 👆🏻 was our first new car. A130 SEU. Loved that thing. Really did.
I've often fancied having one, but they've become very pricey nowadays.
Superb piece of engineering, and more interesting to me than any fancy BWW.

I like the 2CV. The engineering hits the brief like almost no other car since.
There's a few around here. There's at least another one in the town, it's white.
I remember staying for a few days at a campsite between lockdowns in the COVID days and happening to be there when the Irish 2CV owners' club was there. About 14 2CVs, a few Dyanes and also a few C15 camper conversions who were accompanying them. I have a picture of my 205 in the middle of them all but it's on another computer.

I loved their adverts back in the day. On of the Jap makers ran an add with a tick list all the optional extras on a beemer or whatever which were all standard on their own car. Citroen did the same for their 2CV showing all the things it didn't have, initially various luxuries, then it had "radiator -no, fanbelt -no" then "distributor -no" Hang on, what? Cleverly both cylinders spark each stroke but only the one with petrol in it actually lights - clever or what?

No time to wander around the paddock & infield parking at Silverstone today, however this was parked near where I was spectating at the Woodcote terracing
