Calling #WierdCarMastodon and #WeirdAutos Crew …
the RAV4 had somehow managed to survive until #BMWi3 have almost got within our max £10k budget.
This is at a dealer we know and trust a bit (he was absolutely brilliant when we had problems when we bought the RAV from him in 2014).
I know we have some owners with experience etc so please tell me high mileage but attractive spec range extender i3 should be avoided or otherwise as a main car. 😉

Pouring one out for the Rover 75. Gone but not forgotten.

From Autocar “makes a driver feel more isolated from the stresses of late ’90s life with a super-smooth” V6 and a sofa-like interior.”

Also, pouring one out for the stresses of late ‘90s life.

#Cars #WeirdAutos

@georgBendemann there are dozens of us at #WeirdAutos Dozens! 😄

I love when brochures showed cars with just a plain, real license plate. And a dented one at that!

If somebody dared releasing a car these days as “a nice car for nice people” they could just take my money, no other questions asked.

Did BMW just send me a mailer featuring a car that… they don’t sell in the US?

@vwdasher You’d love this! It’s on old German post van. Currently in the car audio place my youngest works at. #weirdcarmastodon #weirdautos

@Dylan 😂🤣Thank you! Everytime I drive past a weird car I think of you lot! 👍🏼 #weirdcarmastodon #weirdautos

I’m loving having all the #WeirdAutos #WeirdCarMastodon crew back again… so here is my contribution for today at the Tesco supermarket car park.
These are my kink.

#JDM #CamperVan, a (probably slightly rusty) Mazda Bongo and Toyota Alphard 😁
#VanLife

The #WeirdAutos instance is back up and running so I can return to
Tooting with all my buddies back there, so if you wanna Follow me there too that would be awesome 😎

@BitchinRob@weird.autos

The plan for this account is it being a backup to WeirdAutos (and perhaps some ultra boring content) so expect duplicate Follows from here but not much activity

I’ll try to Follow any new Follows from here over there too. I certainly don’t want to be left in the dark again 🤣

Right, it’s good to be back on #WeirdAutos 👍
While it was down I got bored and setup a new user and instance Which was very easy and exciting.

@BitchinRob@mrrob.in / https://mrrob.in

The plan is to use it only as a backup to my main account here But I do like having my own url AND less federation (activity) so we’ll see…

I’ve tooted about my recent #Roadtrek #RoadTrip there if you wanna catch up with what I’ve been doing (but why would you care) 😉

@CrackedWindscreen @serichards #WeirdAutos is Mark’s baby And he’s having to do all the work so I’ll throw the luck his way 😉👍

@Basmitharts yeah, but we MISSED you, and all of our #WeirdAutos friends. There were only a few of us here to keep each other company. 😢

Ooh, and I did a thang! 😜

#WeirdAutos server / domain update https://www.patreon.com/posts/84469656?utm_campaign=postshare_fan

It’s madness 🤬

Has anyone figured out what’s going on with the #WeirdAutos instance?

We are missing all of our friends from that server. 😢

Mark has still been tweeting and retweeting. I should just message him over there. I’ve deleted the 🐦 💩 app from my iPad, but I can still log in on Safari.

Edit: He doesn’t follow me on 🐦 💩 and I don’t appear to be able to 💬 him over there. Maybe somebody else that he does follow can try to ask what’s going on, and if he’s okay? 🤞 🍀 🙏

@richlucking @vinc Wow! 😮

I didn’t even know that was a possibility (which is why I asked for clarification in the first place).

That sounds like a great solution.

I wanted to share some #WeirdAutos :wa: stats for our half birthday. Many of the stats only go back 6 months so it's a good time. This is how many requests the server processes. the huge peak is when we had big relays. As you can see it's been pretty steady since our second wave of uses two weeks in. In the last few weeks it has been elevated and it has sustained.

Happy #HalfBirthday to all the #WeirdAutos bunch and everyone in #WeirdCarMastodon !

For today's #DashboardsAndCoffee I offer up my very own i3, and two other vehicles that some may consider cheating but who cares.

The i3 has held up quite well, surprisingly for a RWD in Canadian winter.

The other two are: my 2003 BMW K1200GT summer ride, and my 1974 Honda CB550 which I hope to restore someday. Cheers to all!
