Spider to Sleeper - Your weekly dose of automotive nourishment
No more tank track swapped cars after this. Probably.
Iâll make this the last tank track swapped car I share for a while, I promise, but how cute is this Suzuki!? Apparently itâs good in the snow, but I canât help but feel it looks even more unstable than the original.
Car of the week đ°
I can safely say Iâve never seen one of these on the streets in the UK, but nowâs your chance to buy one! It doesnât share much in common with a McLaren F1, but it does have a central driving position. Iâm told its unique style and rarity as a grey import make it a collector's item for microcar enthusiasts. At ÂŁ7,800 itâs a very cheap way to stand out and have the rarest car on your road.

If youâre someone thatâs interested in cars, data and media youâll find Harryâs annual wrap up of his YouTube channel fascinating. Heâs very transparent about his channelâs performance, which videos people watch most and which ones he does as more of a passion project.
Hot off the press đ°
If youâve been following me for a while, youâll have seen this car before. Itâs the Skoda sleeper that races to 60 in just over 4 seconds and puts RS4âs to shame. Hereâs a comprehensive review from CAR magazine. âItâs 2025 and we should be well past the point where weâre surprised that Skoda has made a great car. But a mapped and slammed Superb Estate with more power than an Audi RS4 probably wasnât what you were expecting to see from the maker of humble family cars.â
Seen in the wild đ
This Alfa Spider looked like it had been sat outside for a while, the moss on the roof isnât a good sign, I can only imagine that the body is hiding all sort of horrors underneath. The âbarchettaâ styling has grown on me, but itâs better definitely better suited to summer on the continent than street parked on a London street in the winter! Without knowing the condition itâs hard to price this one, but it looks like theyâre available from just over ÂŁ10k, might be worth doubling that for a good example though.
