#Renault #Lutecia spotted in #Cork. As #Honda owns the rights to the Clio name in Japan, imported Clios are badged as Lutecias there.

I spotted a #Panther in the wild yesterday! It's been a while since I've seen one, this was powered by a 1600 Ford engine, and had Beetle rear lights. While its looks are challenging, I reckon they're great fun to drive!

The Toyota Tamaraw Concept is so usable that it was used as a safety car at Leg 2 of the Toyota Gazoo Racing Vios Cup 2023 in the Philippines! 👍💪 I keep saying this, but this Tamaraw if priced well bellow HiLux will be an almost unavoidable to buy 😄 I want one, can I resist? #AutoPH #ToyotaTamarawConcept #weirdcarmastodon #ToyotaMotorPhilippines #TGRViosCup2023

Oh, it's Goodwood Revival Weekend!

A tip for #weirdCarMastodon

I went on vacation for 3 weeks, and upon my return, I found that my truck had been pooed on by birds, I mean REALLY pooed on! It was a target for them.

I washed the truck and a large area at the back had been etched and it looked really bad.

I tried this hair dryer method and it worked great! The paint looks totally fine and you'd never be able to tell it was ever damaged:

With the UK banning #nitrousoxide what happens to legal uses? I’m curious, what happens to motorsports? As someone who likes going to #SantaPod to watch the races I’m wondering if a whole power adder is now illegal to own? Does this affect the UK’s position to host international drag racing events for certain classes? #WeirdCarMastodon

Listening to this week's @motoringpodcast I discovered I have one, and I suspect only one, motoring experience that @ajpbradley lacks....

I have driven a number of cars with pop-headlamps...

One of the things I've always enjoyed about the #GranTurismo series is slowing down, going off piste, and doing something different, like reworking old school modifications onto older #cars. Chrome enjoyed a resurgence the 90s and noughties, especially among the #VW community.

I recently noticed that humble little Ford Everests have a Watt's link for the rear axle.

The car geek in me was hugely impressed. I know Ford has used it before, but I didn't expect it on the Everest. I always associate it with old-fashioned race cars like Australian V8 Supercars. #weirdCarMastodon

This Devinci is super cool and very rare still. Apparently they manufacture in France and have sold most to Monaco. This company offers guided driving tours along the Formula 1 route. If I knew ahead of time I absolutely would have done this! I can’t find any details on any specs though. #EVs #ElectricVehicles #DeVinci #Monaco #WeirdCarMastodon

Best-selling car models vary widely across different regions of the world. In this toot, I will compare the sizes of the following areas: ASEAN, Latin America, Europe, North America, and the world overall.

ASEAN is a regional grouping of 10 countries in Southeast Asia. The best-selling car model in ASEAN in 2021 was the Toyota Hilux. The second best-selling car model was the Isuzu D-Max, another pickup truck. So the ASEAN region loves pickups!

Latin America is a region that includes Mexico, Central America and South America. The best-selling car model in Latin America in 2021 was also the Toyota Hilux. Another pickup-loving part of the world.

Europe is a continent that consists of 44 countries. The best-selling car model in Europe in 2023 was the Tesla Model Y.

North America is a continent that includes Canada, the United States and Mexico. The best-selling car model in North America in 2022 was the Ford F-Series,.

Africa again favours pickups and again the HiLux is the best-selling car.

The world is a planet that has about 200 countries and territories. The best-selling car model in the world in 2022 was the Toyota Corolla, a compact car.

Why is the world average a small car but the most popular in terms of single models almost always a pickup? Because second, third, and fourth places do tend to be dominated by popular small cars around the world. #weirdCarMastodon

As part of the #HardtopHustle we went to an amazing car museum that was a million miles from old Falcons. Stay tuned and I will post some pix up. #WeirdCar #WeirdCarMastodon #CarMuseum

The Toyota Tamaraw/Rangga Concepts are some of the coolest things Toyota has done recently and I hope they get to production in Thailand and the Philippines. Cheaper and more basic than a HiLux and ready for almost ANY use! https://theautoph.com/n-2023-250/?fbclid=IwAR3WIZigTLXguwpclxk-Uwvr6C2viUYkuo-yf9rlj3qB-st09X9PwpaKQ0M_aem_AVvHTSP1RORr3mrbMM9hM6nfOJevlpeUPPx_AHNt8sZ9MNTwaRpQ7S2-WkcMZAguh9I #WeirdCarMastodon

I spied this parked in a driveway this afternoon and pulled over to chat with the owner who was doing some yardwork. It's a Dodge Shelby Daytona. He said it was a gift from his employer who "has about 25 rad and rare 80s cars"
