Slow-living cardiologically challenged Fenlander trying to cram less and less into each day. I write about cars but not as much as before. Electric is my thing (EV-ing since 2013). Life-long Labour member of a centrist persuasion. English of Welsh extraction. Interested in Germany (lived there twice). US politics/CNN fan. Like cats but I don’t have one myself. Studied at Oxford and Bayes. Live in the beautiful cathedral city of Ely. Background pic: North Shore beach at Skegness. #davidsdailycar

Not all Jaguars were offered in Daimler-badged form. This unrealised prototype from 1986 explored how a Daimler version of the XJ-S might look. Note the alternative roof-line which does away with the XJ-S’ distinctive ‘flying buttress’ rear pillars. Snapped at the 2023 NEC Classic Motor Show.

🤠🌿Indiana Jones vibes! An old 4x4 left inside an abandoned train depot in Lebanon. Looks like it's been scavenged for parts. Does anyone know what type of vehicle it is?

Military brat born in Bremerhaven, Germany in '55. Retired supervisor from Lee County DOT in Fort Myers, Fl. I've lived in Germany, Baltimore, Hawaii, Louisiana, Guam, California, and Italy. Graduated from V.A.H.S IN '73. Just after I retired I learned that now, I never get a day off. I'm a fan of Bernie Sanders so I might be a Democratic Socialist.

👈 Boop! Photo of me booping a giant bucket wheel excavator right on the bucket-snoot.
The scale of these machines is mind-blowing! A mechanical monster that once tore through the Earth strip mining coal.
This monster is long dead, its rusting hulk retired and put out to pasture.

🔥🚒 Abandoned fire trucks left to rot in a barn, somewhere in England.
These Dennis-Thornycroft MK9 crash tenders are specialised airfield safety response vehicles. Custom-built in the late 1970s and 1980s, they featured roof-mounted monitors capable of laying a 12m-wide foam carpet.
After decades of service at RAF and civilian bases, these heavy machines were replaced by modern successors like the Scammell Mk 10.

Nestled deep in the Highland forests of Scotland lies an abandoned Opel Olympia. Trees and undulating ground surround the car; it is a considerable distance from the nearest road. A strange scene, but a beautifully photogenic one.

Here's an oddity I #spotted on #Guernsey a few years back. Very much a grab shot against the light, so heavily GIMP'd, but it's apparently a #Subaru Sambar Dias Classic, although I would have guessed #Daihatsu #Hijet. Later Sambars were re-badged Hijets, so that might be true.
If ever there was a #WeirdCarMastodon candidate, I'd say this was it.
Gotta love a #kei car!

#Spotted this in a Norwich car park last month. Irish plates on a Suzuki Hustler. My pic doesn't convey how tiny it is - I should have parked next to it!
