Lots of talk surrounding the future of Lister. As it happens, there's a government consultation at the moment that I'm hopeful will recognise the importance of small volume ICE firms after 2030. Lots of responses will surely help! shorturl.at/xYR4h

The wording states: " Smaller volume manufacturers account for a very small proportion of overall UK vehicle sales, and limited amounts of CO2. They play a vital role in supporting jobs, investment, skills and expertise within the UK automotive industry"

Bad pronunciation and ridiculously early Mk1 Ford Fiestas. What's not to like? Please watch my slightly shambolic collection caper. youtu.be/fV4y9FH__ME?si=Vyl3…

What started off with me my dropping my Fiesta down a garage pit ended in a triumphant weekend of exceptionally unexceptional cars. Great work @HagertyUK and @Adam_Sloman and thanks for letting @idriveaclassic and I talk about our old motors. Can’t wait to return! #fotu

Looks a bit like Croatia eh? But it’s not. Hope to have the video for this bad boy sorted soon.

I’ve just read that 3.5 million Ford Orions were made, confirmed by several other online sources. 3.5 million? Surely that’s not right… is it? In just a decade? Seems insane!! Please someone give me a true figure! (And yes I am bored)

I’m the fool that went to @rustival in a 69-reg car. There were other plans, but all these didn’t make it for one reason or another. But no one moaned or gave me the ‘that shouldn’t be here’. A brilliantly inclusive event and a credit to the organisers.

Rivalry goes out of the window for things like this. Brilliant and thought provoking work from #ncfc

Gutted to see the end of Mini Magazine. 12 years of my career and 27 years as a reader. Thanks for the memories.
There it is folks, the final ever Mini Magazine. Arriving with subscribers now, in shops tomorrow.

Proud of this one after some epic drives this week and around 1500 miles covered. It’s been faultless, even with a silly camshaft and ridiculous induction noise. Excited about its next adventure already…
