People seem to think I’m only pro-EV, this is absolutely not the case. The future will need a multi-fuel approach to succeed: Daily personal transport and ‘last mile deliveries - BEV Commercial LGV/HGV/Agri - Hydrogen Classics/supercars/sports cars - synthetic fuels 👍

Thanks to a comment on this I’m now aware of the Factory 5 818. What a cool thing! Based on an Impreza, the kit is a staggering $14k, you could build a seriously cool, well handling sports car for not a lot. Love it. https://t.co/3wV7QuseXc
I love that the Wells Vertige exists, the retro looks and light weight. But holy fuck they need to do better with the interior for £85k. That centre tunnel is appalling, as is the inside of the window aperture/door part.

So after 28,000 miles in our old leased ForTwo EQ, my wife settled on wanting another as it’s the perfect car for her. Wanted the LED lights as the std ones are terrible, but not leather seats. So that only leaves the Brabus! And you know what, I think it looks bloody brilliant

Today’s ’Person I’d actively avoid in public if I knew them’. I mean seriously? ‘Fastguar’?! Jesus fucking tittychrist, that’s one of the worst portmanteaus I’ve ever seen. Get in the sea you catastrophic bellend.

Amazed when looking at this yesterday, just how cheap the front end looks on the Urus SE. Tonnes of plastic, whole thing just looked so shit. For well over £200k it’s ridiculous.

I remember when press releases talked about horsepower, capacity and styling looking like a bulging codpiece.
Li Auto has unveiled the L9 Livis, the top-tier version of its next-generation flagship EREV SUV, boasting 2,560 TOPS of computing power from twin Mach 100 chips, steer-by-wire, rear-wheel steering, 360-degree LiDAR coverage, and 800V fully active suspension. Story linked below👇

It’s just been pointed out to me that to open the boot you press the centre of the ‘a’ in the rear smart badge. So to open the boot you have to… finger the a-hole 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sitting in a dealership while our little Smart ForTwo EQ gets serviced and had a poke around the new Smart #5. Well colour me impressed. Loads of room in the front, back and boot. Really quick, responsive infotainment screen, wheel buttons all felt high quality as did everything

I may start an X account called Rotherhithe Tunnel Wronguns. Today’s idiot is this Ineos Grenadier with a fucking huge 6-wheel trailer that went up and over the width restriction on the way in, and then caused everyone in the other tunnel lane to stop or jump the curb 🤦🏼♂️

This sad prick thinks it’s fine to add casually homophobic comments to posts from an anonymous account. Don’t be like Tom, folks. Because he’s a cunt. Also, what’s the issue with wearing gloves? Why would I want to get fucking ugly callouses from the knurled bars?
Progress is being made. Being 50 next year means doing this is not just important, but a whole lot more difficult! Protein, creatine and hard work. Boring eh? 😂 (And yes, good lighting + pump helps 😉)

Given the reputation around this place, and how the stock has gone well into 7-figures recently, how the hell is it still going?

Watching some drive vids of the new Jag and saw this on the Autocar one. That rear door opening is about as much use as a fucking letterbox! I so want this car to be brilliant, but a 5.2m car with that little rear access? 🤦🏼♂️
