Each month, we sift through hundreds of tagged photos and approve a select few for display in our Instagram tag gallery, a curated space intended to showcase real-world members who rock the TMGPS insignia on their ride. Here are the top surprises from this month’s submissions:

Anthony’s Five-Speed Toyota Tacoma

In November, we asked manual Toyota pickup owners to tag #TMGPSTacoma. The community stepped up — or, in this case, crawled up to flex on all of us. Well done, Anthony.

Shaun’s Manual International Harvester Scout

Not three weeks after we posted a Scout to our IG, Shaun tagged us in his example of his Scout’s well-loved TMGPS Key Fob. I’ve used mine for more than two years and it still looks fresh, but the more rugged among us will appreciate how the laser-engraved leather fob wears in with harder use.

Jared’s Five-Speed Ford Mustang GT

I’ve hit the Tail of the Dragon twice this month and five times this year, but I always seem to miss our TMGPS crew. It’s a huge honor to ride on board when our members take the best drives of their lives, and Jared’s Cobra R clone stopped us mid-scroll.

Rich’s Manual-Swapped Volvo V70R

We owe you a longform writeup of Rich’s rare longroof, finished in Volvo’s spectacular Saffron hue. Until the in-depth story, just know that this turbobrick isn’t afraid to row through each of its swapped gears, yet somehow still manages to stay showroom-clean for studio-quality photo sessions in New England’s matching foliage.

JT’s Manual 1983 Audi Quattro Coupe

I was just having a face-to-face conversation with a co-worker who happens to be a repeat TMGPS customer about this very car, wondering aloud who was lucky enough to pick it up in its recent sale. Lo and behold, when approving this month’s tags, I found out that its new owner is, of course, within our ranks. Fortunately, JT is not shy with his camera, and loves to tag TMGPS. Watch our tag gallery for more of his art to come.
