Social spotlight 📱

Motomuzi shares some really, really cool concepts, including the Audi Quattro Avant below. Their work includes Porsche 911 Baja concepts, slammed muscle cars and shooting-brake variants of cars you’d love to see. Well worth checking out.

Small screen scene 📺

After a long(!) hiatus from YouTube, Practical Performance Car are back, and in this episode they talk to a father and son who have turned their attention to a pair of Hillman Imps Huskies. One has largely been restored, while the other has been bike engine swapped and has a Golf GTI inspired interior. It looks like Postman Pat meets Max Power, but I’m here for it.

Podcast of the week 🎙️

For those of you with a long journey planned, be that an escape to somewhere more interesting or simply a commute, there’s a new podcast on the scene and they’ve already had a number of high-profile guests including Jonny Smith and Alex Kirsten. Check out the Driven podcast here.

Hot off the press 📰

Keeping with the podcast theme, have you been missing Chris Harris, the Collecting Cars crew and their podcast? There’s been a lot of speculation since Chris split from Collecting Cars (and Edward Lovett) but very little clarity. What is clear though, following the below ‘Chris Harris and Friends’ announcement, is that the crew are back and the podcast will officially be returning in September with a new name. I’m equally as excited to see that Chris Harris’s YouTube channel is active again, could this mean more content under his own name?

Seen in the wild 👀

Spotted this while stood in a beer garden, pint in hand, and I’ll be honest, I didn’t know what it was. Based on its fastback, muscle-car silhouette I wouldn’t have guessed it was a 1960’s Fiat Dino. Dino was the nickname of Enzo Ferrari’s son, Alfredo, so I wondered how Fiat came to wear the Dino name and this is what I found “The Fiat Dino was a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car produced by Fiat from 1966 to 1973. The Dino name refers to the Ferrari Dino V6 engine, produced by Fiat and installed in the cars to achieve the production numbers sufficient for Ferrari to homologate the engine for Formula 2 racing.” Fancy a Ferrari Dino of your own? There are a few available on Car and Classic, prices seem to start from around £45k.
