Boxing Day uncovering Dad's Rancho..... Sounds sweet. Some work needed it's a Simca after all but I'm confident Dad can fix a bit of unseen frill making better than new.

The secret is out. I bought a 2011 Peugeot Hoggar Escapade 1.6 BioFlex across the ocean in São Paulo. Briefly it's the European 206+ model we never got in the UK, with a pickup backside including a 650kg payload suspension borrowed from the Partner van.

Thought of the day - 5 cars models that designers made worse when it was replaced. 1) #Ford KA. From a budget Fiesta parts bin underpinnings and styling to stand out from the crowd, KA has now slumped in to the generic blandness.

2) #Peugeot 3 series - 306->307->308 Peugeot's golden years came to a fairly swift halt with poor design choices proven by most models needing styling updates to try and sort out the awful mess. It never really worked and the original 306 essence was lost.

Whilst I love an engine, I often wish stationary engine displays were a little more inspiring with their power output rather just a water pump or a couple of bulbs. Yesterday however this owner was the business, a water pump driven by an engine which subsequently drove #Mecchano

Following on from @nickinnocent CX post the aggressive 505 cabriolet was such a missed opportunity by PSA. Perhaps there was a shortage of tan leather? Not measured it but a @Carpervert Tesla pan-o-plonk would be stunning too.

Here's an oddity. Whatever happened to the oval country stick that were usually given away for free with the business logo on them, like P&O, Eurotunnel? Not that I can't afford the £2 for a generic unbranded (UK) one it seems part of history and looking back at retro cars now.
