Snapped this yesterday at the side of Route 66,

Guess they’d been heading into the Mojave Desert, the car overheated, they headed off on foot for help, got bitten by a rattlesnake, never returned to the car.

On a different note...

Arty shot of the Lola at Shelsley Walsh last weekend.
Perfect weekend but came a disappointing 2nd in Class, the winner nearly 9 seconds faster!

For those that remember me trying to steer my wife into a French fancy for her next car a year or so ago, the results are in!

We test drove the R5 and Alpine back to back before going with the 5. Just taken it for a quick razz as it has taken so long to come and it’s great.

Fab!
Would love one of those as a daily.

New Nissan Micra is now out, same car slightly different shell on the same platform.

Nissan and Renault are platform sharing?

Maybe I will not share that with her. Mind you, the fact we have one probably makes it instantly uncool anyway….

We went to look at the 5 a couple of months ago. Really liked it but chose the 4 instead as easier to get the dog in the back - still think it’s pretty cool (we didn’t choose the optional baguette holder)

It’s my first electric car. Very quiet etc but it’s not “driving” - more like semi active passengering

To be fair Sladey, cars like that even with petrol engines can’t reallly be called an exciting drive .

We have a bmw i5 and I love it , electric really suits the big relaxing saloon car type

Cool - we haven’t tried the dog in the back yet….That might be the flaw in our decision tree!

Renault on a Big Roll just now, style and flair in a modern world.
In the 80's I hired endless R%'s in the Alsace, they were great.

The Twingo is arriving soon I think.

Mrs911 will not budge from small car, petrol and manual box. They just don't make such things anymore, esp small.

Some friends bought round their new-to-them FIAT 500 Abarth touring, what a car full of detail!
