Fancy a brand new 6R4?
Brand new road registered 6R4s are going into production, mid engined V6, 4-wheel drive, sequential gearbox, all new carbon fibre body kit based on the original classic 😁
Hand built in Wales
Would you?
STORY TIME - Remember about a month ago I shared images of this lovely local Mercedes 190E I bought.
Well - I knew of the car for a while and admired it locally every time I drove past. THEN one day- i saw it advertised by the side of the road with a simple 'For Sale' sign
This is my dog,
She is helping me work this morning.
I love her more than anything else in the world.
She is my best friend ❤️
Show me your best friends 👇
ANYWAY - why am i telling you this?
He's just been back, shook my hand and tried to bung some cash my way - of course I didn't accept, but the fact is ... he hasn't and wont forget someone else's kindness
Folks - were only here once. Be kind to each other please
SUPER RARE PROTON FOUND
No 'Park Royal' edition Protons were believed to have survived ... Until today!
Owned from new by the same gent, it's been sat in his barn for 23 years
Looks like I'm going on a trip soon!
Watch This Space 😍
Icon of the Seas is scheduled to enter service on 27 January 2024 out of PortMiami.
At 248,663 gross tonnage (GT), it is the largest cruise ship in the world.
I just wanted to share this with you - something
@MrsJCoupland
sent me this morning. It's me (obvs) - Feb 2024 Vs. June 2024
You may or may not know I'm on a lifestyle improvement mission - and so far have lost over 3 n a bit stone (or 22KG)
I'm proud, and I wanted to share :)
A better look at the 'barn find' Proton from earlier this week
It's a local car supplied by the Boston dealer
Sadly no engine BUT I can't wait to get it pulled out and see what it's actually like!
Spotted in the car park at Costco this afternoon. Absolutely ridiculous ...
How is he going to fit 48 bottles of water, 32 toilets rolls and 60 freshly baked cookies in that!?
Oh ... And the 82" HD TV that was too much of a bargain to pass by!
I suppose the point of this post is this - I could have been a prize wally about it, told him no and said tough luck. BUT - cars to me, hold emotional bonds (and some of you think that may be daft) but I get it
I understood
What have i started today?!
Dad then asks me why his 406 has not been 'featured' on 'The Twitter'. After seeing multiple comments about it.
So here it is.
Bought new in 1999 it is STILL his daily driver. Covering just over 100,000 miles from new.

In 1998 my Dad rolled up at our house in a Brand New Rover 75.
Wedgewood blue with chrome EVERYWHERE
As a 10 year old boy, I thought it was stunningly beautiful
I still remember that feeling.
Would people be interested in videos hearing Dad's stories about his time at JLR?!
10 Years Ago today I finished the restoration (with help from Dad) of my Mk1a MR2.
I bought it to focus on getting me through a seriously tough time I was going through with my mental health.
I genuinely think this car helped make me, not break me.
Always happy to talk. Always
Well ... She's through and is first in theatre this morning. Already been told she will be in a couple of nights so the inspector and I will share the bed tonight. Just got to wait now for her to wake up
Thanks for the best wishes
(nearly) a month has passed since
@MrsJCoupland
had her operation. I'm pleased to report shes pretty much recovered and back to normal (as normal as can be) 🤣
She's back to work this week.
Her speech is back as it was and She's eating as she was. Still has a few stitches 👍
Happy Birthday to me! 🥳
Introducing the latest addition to the Coupland fleet. This ... It's a Smart ForTwo (451) 'Night Orange' edition.
235 were made ... And now this one is mine 😊
Whaddya reckon Twitter folk?
*Phone call out of the blue from unknown number* ☎️
Me: (ready for a scammer) HELLO!
Absolute Gentleman: Hello there, you don't know me but I've been given your number ... You see I've got this Proton.
Me: I'm all yours
AG: I've owned it from new you see ...
Me: On the way
Witnessed this VERY close parking this afternoon ... Miraculously the Ford managed to get out without touching the other vehicle
What on earth possesses some people 🙄
Absolutely fuming that
@TheSun
can publish this about me and get away with it ... Not only have they given me two extra friends I don't know about they have given my engine an extra boost to a 1.6 😂

- 1985 Toyota MR2 Mk1a - I had a really tough time with my mental health in 2012/2013 - I bought this needing some light restoration as a first dabble into classic car ownership as my 'therapy'. It cost me £500 and attribute it to being my salvation. It means more than a car
