V.I.S.I.T: '89 Peugeot 205

Parking garages, multi-storey car parks, vertically-tiered parking lots, call them what you will. Make a Saturday afternoon trip to the shops and they offer you two things; somewhere to stash the jalopy while your better half makes merry with the credit card; and somewhere to sneak around with a mobile phone camera and take poor…

Spending a Sunday night at church is not unusual for me; doing it in a field is a little unusual, I will admit. However, it paid dividends in other ways this time. As I almost always do, I had my camera in my pocket, just in case I run across something interesting. I didn’t go…

Walking home Saturday night from my favorite beverage-serving establishment, coincidentally run by a guy who has emigrated here from upstate New York, I noticed an Audi 100 with short plates and bulkier bumpers. Instantly, my synapses made the connection: it had to be an American Audi, it had to be a 5000. It was too…

I couldn’t help myself. I decided to spend my lunch break standing in line with my fellow citizens at the auto licensing office. It was the last day of the month and, like everyone else, I procrastinated getting my tags renewed until the last day. Why do people do that, anyway? It didn’t change…

One of my recent weekend jaunts was to the very excellent Latitude Festival, a music ‘n culture event that takes place in the wilds of rural Suffolk, about an hour from home. Among the many varied acts performing were Kraftwerk, who managed to delight half the crowd and thoroughly alienate, confuse, bewilder and terrify pretty…

Camping holidays are great. The pitter patter of endless, torrential rain on nylon, the soothing drip, drip of a leak that just refuses to be traced, and the repeated trips to the bathroom from that BBQ burger that looked absolutely fine. One thing I particularly enjoy when pitching up at the campsite is, of…

This past weekend, while returning from a vintage VW show, I decided to make a pit stop at my favorite Fivebucks, where my wife is a barista extraordinaire. Ever since they came out with the peach syrup, a big cup full of ice cold sweet tea is never more than one or two intersections away (and…

Saturday was a good day. I attended a huge vintage VW show, saw a rare muscle car (more on that later), and then as I was about to go home, I overheard a few people talking about a bunch of old Fords down the street. Of course, I had to know more, so I…

Fiat 850 Spider rusting in the weeds

John, a.k.a. mac350, writes: Every day I ride past this abandoned junk yard in NW Arkansas and watch as this old Fiat 850 turns back into the elements. It puzzles me why such a neat little car would wind up in this relatively remote location off the beaten path. Old Fiats are very rare in this…
