Picking my new car up on Friday. I've waited a long time for this...

[Matthew Hayward @OctaneMatthew]

@visorfett @Bringatrailer It's almost doubled in price since I tweeted 🫠

[Matthew Hayward @OctaneMatthew]

Very tempted to have a bid on this. I'm sure there will be a flurry of bids at the last minute, but This is currently less than I paid for mine back in 2020...

Sometimes seeing a nice car really just brightens up your day.

[Matthew Hayward @OctaneMatthew]

Another one gone.

[Matthew Hayward @OctaneMatthew]

@adrianfclarke Not a comment on the proposed deal (he's dreaming), just the fact that the VZR is a very rare and interesting thing.

Also, a valid MoT proves very little in my opinion. All that says to me is that the owner hasn't driven the car on salty roads to the testing station.

Pulsar VZ-R 👀

[Adrian Clarke @adrianfclarke]

Yes of course I’m interested in your four shitboxes, two of which have no MOT, as full payment for my Ferrari.

Good grief the dreamers have arrived.

[Matthew Hayward @OctaneMatthew]

@candyshopsk Love that!

[Matthew Hayward @OctaneMatthew]

How cute is this on steelies?!

[Matthew Hayward @OctaneMatthew]

@JForman121 David Lillywhite gave me this copy when we moved offices many years ago. I have no idea how many were printed, but probably not many!

[Matthew Hayward @OctaneMatthew]

Not sure I've posted this on here before, but an interesting relic: the Octane dummy issue.

[Matthew Hayward @OctaneMatthew]

New project, which means there's a big puddle of LHM all over the garage floor once again!

Quite an early one, which has not been on the road for a number of years... but it's got good bones and has not been messed about with.

[Matthew Hayward @OctaneMatthew]

Some French lovelies today 😍

[Matthew Hayward @OctaneMatthew]

Great, now I want a Giugiaro-styled cassette 😭

[Matthew Hayward @OctaneMatthew]

Recent spot!

[Matthew Hayward @OctaneMatthew]

One more thing ticked off the Celica GT-Four parts checklist.

Please don't ask me when it will actually be back on the road though 🙃

[Matthew Hayward @OctaneMatthew]

I reckon this could be a good FoTU car.

[Matthew Hayward @OctaneMatthew]

Plus lots of other cool stuff.

[Matthew Hayward @OctaneMatthew]

Some nice cars at Bicester today...

[Matthew Hayward @OctaneMatthew]

Throbbing Purple Monster 🤣

[Mark Smyth @Motorscribe]

Had my Audi A2 nearly four years and only discovered today that it has a third sun visor to block the gap above the mirror!
