Posted on December 31, 2020 | 17 CommentsTwenty twenty, even without hindsight, will be remembered as the Year of the Pandemic. That was pretty evident since the spring, let alone now, as the first vaccines are being […] -
CC Capsule: 1991 Daihatsu “Supermirafiori” (L200) Walkthrough Van – Good Things Come In Small, Narrow And Tall Packages
Posted on December 20, 2020 | 9 CommentsThis is kind of a Xmas present for Paul, whose love of all vehicles tall and narrow is well documented. In fact, with a red ribbon tied around it and […] -
CC Capsule: 1987 Toyota Vista (V20) 4WD – The Alternate Reality Camry
Posted on December 14, 2020 | 21 CommentsIt’s always a learning experience to be CC hunting in Japan. I’m still baffled by the amount of variants that Toyota used to have of the same thing, with names […] -
CC Capsule: 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite – Yakety Yak
Posted on December 9, 2020 | 12 CommentsThe thing about photographing other people’s cars in a foreign country is that one is very rarely interacting with the car owners. And that’s just fine by me – people […] -
Curbside Capsule: 2006 & 2004 Chrysler Sebring Convertibles – Nobody Knows You When You’re Down & Out
Posted on December 9, 2020 | 37 CommentsWe’ve all been there, if we’re honest with ourselves. All of us have experienced some low ebb in our fortunes and then been ignored or shunned by individuals who had […] -
CC Capsule: 1985 Nissan Gloria Hardtop (Y30) V-Turbo Brougham – An Iron Hand In A Button-Tufted, Crushed Velvet Glove

Curbside Capsule: 1989 Chevrolet Caprice – Please Pass The Margarine
Posted on December 2, 2020 | 42 CommentsI wasn’t allowed to watch unlimited amounts of television when I was growing up, which I suspect was the case with many people my age. I remember commercials with almost […] -
CC Capsule: 2005 Daihatsu Copen – Deep-Sea Anglophile Nightmare Special
Posted on November 30, 2020 | 16 CommentsDaihatsu never made ‘em like this, but obviously someone out there wanted it this way. It’s difficult to enumerate the many odd additions slapped on this poor car, but the […] -
CC Capsule: 2001 Ferrari 456M GTA – How The Other Half Lives
Posted on November 27, 2020 | 14 CommentsLife is tough for some, but not for everyone. The owner of this Ferrari, though, are probably not going to worry about having a roof over their head or rice […] -
CC Capsule: 1997 Nissan March (K11) Mooku Tokio Princess – Van Den Whaaa?
Posted on November 25, 2020 | 8 CommentsThe link between Nissan and Austin is an ancient one, but this is taking it to a whole nother level. As I’ve documented before, the 1992-2002 Nissan March / Micra […] -
CC Capsule: 1980 Suzuki Jimny (SJ10) – Fishing For Keis
Posted on November 20, 2020 | 5 CommentsCute though it may be, this little Jimny’s not going to have its big long-form CC post, sorry – just another CCapsule. When they’re too small, you have to throw […] -

CC Capsule: 1967 Alfa Romeo GT 1300 Junior – Little Red Booster
Posted on November 12, 2020 | 9 CommentsI love the Alfa Romeo 105/115 Bertone coupés. Who doesn’t? I caught a couple in quick succession around town recently, both of which will grace these pages eventually. They’re both […]
