Yesterday, I posted a picture of the spectacular jet-powered Rover-BRM Le Mans racer from 1963. Today, we fast forward to the next Rover-BRM car, the Rover 200 BRM, introduced in 1998 to add a bit of zip to the R3 range with a top sporty model. Red quilted leather interior, BRM-typical orange nose detailing. I think the reason they didn’t make this an MG was to avoid diluting the impact of the then-new MGF. Snapped at the NEC Classic Car Show, 2024.

Tesla Cybertruck deliveries reportedly on hold because the trim is flying off

Head’s up.

The front fell off.

The ad heading calls it an 805, the text refers to it as a 940 Turbo, and it's referred to throughout as a ’95, but it this is, in fact...a 1996 Volvo 850 Turbo Platinum Edition! One of the 1,100 sedans. Condition seems okay, price seems a little steep, but maybe my silly attention has awakened everybody to the true collectibility of this ’90s classic? #WeirdCarMastodon #Volvo #850TurboPlatinumEdition

Since I didn't get a picture of the last one, I had to make sure to snap this (darker) teal Geo Tracker convertible. There's also a ton of Suzuki Samurais still bopping around Key West. #WeirdCarMastodon

Spotted a white Honda Accord, mid eighties, two door, liftback, this morning. In great condition for its age too. Auto.

" « Volkswagen est synonyme d’innovation – sur deux, quatre et bien d’autres roues – et oui, aussi dans l’assiette ! », s’est réjoui le directeur du personnel, Gunnar Kilian, lundi 10 mars, sur le réseau social LinkedIn. Le groupe de Wolfsburg, qui s’est très sérieusement penché sur les raisons de cet engouement, met en avant le succès des déclinaisons de ce plat, comme la saucisse hot-dog, en 2021. Le constructeur promet que d’autres variantes suivront."

A 1950 Lincoln Cosmopolitan limo at the Truman Little White House in Key West. This car's actual service as a presidential limo took place in New Jersey, though, not here. #WeirdCarMastodon

Snow is coming back but I'm not allowed to do any sport yet. So, no #skiing for me this weekend.

I'll instead find some comfort going for #snow #car #drifting on the small mountain roads around here.

Got brand new winter tires on the #Subaru #Impreza GT Turbo AWD. I'll take some pictures and maybe a video or two if I manage. Let's rip it!

Pontiac Tempest Safari, 1968. The third generation Tempest arrived in 1968 with "coke bottle" styling, concealed windshield wipers and though it lacked the transaxle gearbox of the first generation it did come with Pontiac's OHC straight 6. #classiccar #weirdcarmastodon

Yesterday, I mentioned that Rover’s management was constantly trying to find ways of making the post-1995 200 (R3) and 400 (HH-R) models fresh and relevant. I shall set out the first of those efforts tomorrow but first, to set the context, we need to look at this, the 1963 Rover-BRM Le Mans racer, which was powered by a gas turbine - basically a jet engine. BRM (British Racing Motors) was a successful F1 team. Snapped: British Motor Museum, 2025.
