I have an announcement to make: I'm launching an autoblog! Cat's out of the bag, it needed to happen. This is my first article about my journey as a person and enthusiast so far, I hope you enjoy it! Here's to more of this to come! #weirdcarBS, #carbluesky petrospect.blog/2025/10/15/w...

Neither, I'm saving my JC Whitney budget for louvers to protect my sweet Pioneer 6x9s from the sun.

It's been four years since I spotted my very first GR Yaris it seems! I can't believe it's been out for so long/I still need one or to have a go in one. Red is my favorite color on it... one day!

The owner was a lady who'd just come out of the grocery store and her and her husband had the first one in the area, this is Serres so it's quite a bit outside of where you'd expect. She let me sit in it and it felt so right! I hope I make amends someday. They're depreciating nicely...

A bike I’ve owned since the late 90’s. It’s the wrong colour but it’s a 1972 250 Mark 3 sprung head. Feeling fun and fast at the speed limit. #motosky #ducati

I don't usually have time for anything but cars on a work drive, but at the lunch stop on a very rainy trip this week in Santa Barbara, the clouds parted and a swarm of #Hummingbirds emerged. #Birds #Birdsky

Tried on some Timbs today, the classic hightop boot--felt like if I stomped on the E36's pedal too hard I'd probably break it. Then another thought hit me: they're a bit like the Jeep Wrangler of boots. I will not elaborate further!

Historic plate Mk2 Golf. God they look good! I’d tear up a GTi to this day. Almost a pity it got written up parking tickets!

Posting a random old car photo from my camera reel every day until someone says stop, or I forget. BMW Isetta 300 getting groceries in Flensburg, 2019. The BMW is the one on the right.

Posting a random old car photo from my camera reel every day until someone says stop, or I forget. I spotted this lovely Peugeot 205 workhorse in Camden in 2018. I think the 5 door ones are the prettiest, and this has the 1360. DVLA suggests it stopped being useful in 2024 😕

Maybe it won’t happen but my American Miata friendo really wants to do a podcast with me out of my phonecalls and I don’t object—it’d be fun! I caused him buying it… :)

It truly is an age old meme and we’re inundated with the stuff but I can see how it’d be fun IF -you respect people’s time and keep length at bay -there’s real discourse -you AT LEAST banter We check those boxes innately, this is a completely unserious idea but my reflections on pods in general

Yknow I don’t feel too hot and I don’t know why, I think it was staying in most of the week in evening times where I didn’t go anywhere or plan anything and did the classes. Mercifully, this week is done! Next week it’s just two. I just wanna dissociate for a day.

It was, dare I say it, fun; it’s e-business and marketting and my prof’s eyes lit up that I use wordpress for the blog, he said endgoal is to make an e-shop and sell something. Maybe I’ll find a way to make the stickers I’ve been thinking about sooner than later!

Also the thought that I’ve not gotten anywhere since getting my degree in ‘24 really isn’t helping. Wish I had something to show for any of this effort but I don’t. Arguably a year’s worth of Petrospect.blog is more of a thing…

The fact they found out she'd use Yellow Music Orchestra's Firecracker as the sample and stole it for J.Lo's "I'm Real"... man I like Mariah how she worked around this.

The weather was so good today I wish could’ve dropped the top. Nevertheless, the E36 was so fun to tool around in, even if it’s the only other car I drive these days, love it.

And I got a scare hearing some fighter jets overhead even if it is for the 28th of October, I really got into thoughts of what it’d be like to get away from here in a hurry.

at one point I started thinking that 2000-2010 was a horrible time for car design (and it is if you only focus on some particularly ungainly DaimlerChrysler models), but there was enough wild stuff where companies were *going for it* that persuaded me otherwise. Much more than 2010-2020 IMO
