It’s been an absolute privilege to represent the 2+ million long haulers in the UK, & many millions more worldwide in writing this book. @daltmann and I hope that it can become an indispensable companion for everyone navigating their recovery journey. And it’s out today!.

It’ll make you a better driver - and do wonders for mental health. People focus on the perceived danger with bikes - but rarely talk about their positive impact on mind, body (and for what it’s worth, soul).

‘The inspiration for the Lotus Elise was the Ducati 916. Both designer (and Ti contributor) Julian Thomson and engineer Richard Rackham wanted the car to feel as close to their bikes as possible.’. @gezmedinger says swapping four wheels for two will make you a better driver. ⬇️

The culprit - old throw out bearing on the right, replacement on left.

Had loads of fun writing this piece for @theintercoolerx. And one update as of last week - this is what a seized bearing does to a clutch!

This channel was originally supposed to be about running, old cars and bikes - but then a novel coronavirus came along and knocked me for six. Wondering who I am and why I’m making these films about...

(I ought to just add that it was a somewhat challenging start of term ‘collection’. Of the 8 of us sitting it, I wasn’t even bottom. Someone got 4%, and someone else got 0%. That’s Oxford for you. And we were supposed to be smart).

In my attempt to create a unifying Theory of Everything (Fun) I tried to channel my fellow alumni Stephen Hawking. But sadly my quest for the Nobel Prize for Pseudo Mathematics fell at the first hurdle. (Perhaps unsurprising given that I once got 8%, yes 8% in a college exam).

‘Our joyous discourse, instead of being an intimate one-to-one with a communicative partner has become no more than an epic game of Chinese whispers.’. @gezmedinger explains how electronic systems are clouding the relationship between car and driver. Listen or read now on Ti. ⬇️

‘If Man Maths: Danger Level was a computer game, my health bar would now be flashing red.’. Is there such a thing as a cheap Porsche 911? Not when Man Maths gets involved…. Read @gezmedinger’s story of 996 Targa ownership – new today on The Intercooler app and website. ⬇️

I describe in grisly detail just how much it was possible to spend - and lose - on an old Porsche in just 9 months. (And whilst this could be a cautionary tale in some eyes, I prefer to look at it as a bloody good time had by all.). Free trial available on The Intercooler BTW!.

I have a penchant for buying old sports cars. The joy of it is you really do get a lot of motor for your money. The teeny tiny downside, however, is that it quickly becomes a very slippery, wallet emptying, slope. My latest piece for @theintercoolerx .

We’ve all been tempted by that seemingly cheap 911. Gez Medinger actually went through with it. But then this happened…

The full story of why diabolical first cars’ were a blessing in disguise is on @theintercoolerx (free trial available). Super excited to share, and feel absolutely privileged to be sharing space with the best automotive writers in the business!. 2/2.

Think the teenagers of today have never had it so good driving safe, reliable and fundamentally stable first cars? Gez Medinger begs to differ

If you’re as old as me (half way to 90), the chances are your first car was absolutely atrocious. I was to inherit the Volvo on the left. My brother’s was the one on the right (yes, the one he spun onto the M56). What was your terrible first car?! . 1/2.

‘The Volvo does a full 180 and skids to a halt on the hard shoulder, unmarked but pointing in entirely the wrong direction.’. @gezmedinger on how a rubbish first car taught him crucial mechanical and driving skills – and how modern cars insulate young drivers from the same. ⬇️

Huge thanks to Professor Klaus Wirth for his time. This is the first of two vids on the subject - and then I'm going to make some content describing what I've been up to the last few months. If you're wondering, I allude to it at the end of the video!.

I've been away for a while, but I'm back w/ some hardcore science! . Experienced crushing fatigue, horrific PEM & awful brain mash?. Well, here's the latest research into mitochondrial dysfunction & why it's at the heart of ME/CFS-like Long Covid.

Taking some time off this platform. I’ll be back when I’ve got some more LC content to share. In the meantime, look after yourselves. The science is moving and the future (at least around LC) will be better than the past, even if it doesn’t feel like it today. Peace✌️.

I think if there’s one surprising thing to come out of last night, it’s the realisation that the much maligned Tory party membership are in fact significantly more progressive than the US electorate as a whole.
