Automotive writer based in Finland. Never paid more than two grand for a car. Currently drives a manual turbodiesel wagon.

Surely a great promotional opportunity for both the Merkur XR4ti and Blaupunkt stereos.

I think that’s not a Polo, but an early-2000s Suzuki Alto on the boat.

Oh yeah, it’s like Clarkson snuck in at some point to rewrite the end of the episode. Read more

I’m running a 1992 Peugeot 405 Mi16 I bought for 600 and I’ve put that 600 into it so many times. Generally, I just haunt eBay all the time, trying to find not only stuff that I need but also stuff that I might just need at some point, since Peugeot doesn’t carry a lot of Mi16-specific parts anymore.

I put 185/60R13 in place of the 155/70 ones on my VW. It kinda rubs. Read more

For single/double serve coffee Aeropress is just so damn good. Granted it’s not as easy as just pushing a button, but it’s almost even less of a hassle than using a drip coffeemaker. I’ve used mine for six years now, and will shortly change the plunger seal for the second time. Read more

UUrrrggghhh the wheels are pointing the wrong way on the SVX. Read more

There’s probably nothing more generic than a debadged Kia or Hyundai. Read more

Apparently the legend was seen in a longer form on the car as well.
