car and sneaker bore. No longer drives an '88 polski-fiat 126, sadly. but am happy.

@Yejpa @BlackTopMediaUK 948 is the Vauxhall Heritage car I believe. I was lucky enough to drive it some years ago. An utterly beguiling car. The power delivery was almost unique. Weirdly similar to an XJ220 which also had a 6 cylinder twin turbo. A very special pair of cars…

@StilgoeJake @autocar Agreed. My Grandfather bought one new in 1985. He gifted it to me on my 40th birthday owing to lack of use. I had it for 3 months then it got stolen. Still saddens me to this day. It was lovely…

@Si_Browse @PaulCowland_ What. A. Spot. They live among us. Thankfully 💛

@RoadworkUK I loved mine so much. Atacama interior and UK manual. Previous keeper had it for 12 years and documented everything he did. Which was everything. I owned her for 18 months. I spent £3.5k and was drivable for 6 of those months. Amazing to drive, but not to live w. 😔

@Retromania4ever @junjokerando Isn’t it just. I was lucky enough to have 3 passenger laps around Fiorano in this very car some years back. The lovely old boy piloting sported Mickey Mouse braces. Not something I’ll ever forget 🙏🏻

@mayisaywithlove Hey Allie. Thank you so much for letting us know. 26 years after first seeing Shack, they are still the greatest. You don’t need me to tell you yer Dad is one special feller. For what it’s worth, the venue called for reverence. The music deserved it. And got it. Bob bless X

@jonward31 Great low down pics. I was in the God’s but it was still sublime. The boys done good ♥️

[nick deacon @nickdeacon71]

@JonesJonesph @Shack_Band Perfect photo feller. I was blown away by the venue. Just wished I’d seen a bit of that direct sun! What a venue, what a band♥️

@Graememarina Has any car ever been sold in a better colour? (No). Just wonderful 👌🏻

@vegynvegyn (I really don’t understand how to work this stuff… 🤷🏻‍♂️)

[nick deacon @nickdeacon71]

@vegynvegyn Dear you. My first listen of Moon Safari was my first night in the camper I had built, on Cooden beach in Sussex. I’d been given a promo copy on cassette by the Virgin rep, Steve East who visited the record shop I worked in. It changed me.

[nick deacon @nickdeacon71]

Since then, it has been sacrosanct. Nothing has ever come close. Hearing someone had done a, “remix”, made me shudder. And yet. I listen to your work and am moved in the same way again. Your delicate and reverential hand is amazing. Thank you so much for elevating our memories♥️

@Millicodnor Bonding w. your sneaks😂

[nick deacon @nickdeacon71]

@MarkMcGrady I’ve always loved these. Is this an OE colour. Fair play to M. Grover if so 💛

[nick deacon @nickdeacon71]

@ZelenskyyUa @POTUS I truly hope the majority of the world is with you as I am, & I think that it is. I am speechless at the, “reception”, you received w. The Trumper. Egoists playing at pretend leaders… Shouting loudest, and being obnoxious isn’t cool. It is always just rude…

[nick deacon @nickdeacon71]

@WhiteHouse Nothing of the sort. Vance and Trump acted like the playground bullies they are. An utterly pathetic display from alleged grown ups. If this is all humanity can offer, we deserve to fail. Please just grow up… Ego’s go home.

[nick deacon @nickdeacon71]

@elonmusk I have. A number of times. Your chum is a nasty bully, fuelling his own diatribe. The world you and he exist in is so detached from the real world, ya’ll believe your own hype. Congrats to you both for where you’ve got, but please don’t ever think you represent normal folk…

[nick deacon @nickdeacon71]

@TheTrabMan Wondrin’ bout selling my Superstars, but not sure there’s much of a market for them any more. Lovely things tho… Happy Birthday IB🧘🏻‍♂️
