Chris Ward released a new skeleton today "The Twelve X". I reckon it's a good looking movement (their in-house SH21), but I'm not a fan of skeletons in general - I need to be able to read the time at a glance - not hunt for the hands. Like the Bel Canto - big money for the brand at over £4...

3rd post in that thread suggests this bend is "notorious to sneak up on people", but via a quick streetmaps sleuth : it looks pretty well sighted (albeit we are looking back from the google camera van situated in the left lane, whereas cars approaching the bend will of course be in the rig...

Two jokes in a row.

(Personally speaking, I enjoyed both )

Watch this....

AirBus Wanker!

I may have replicated the final example this morning…..

Ferrari Pure Blood on the A456 near Halesowen. Not nearly as interesting a shape on the road as it looked in photos; it is a fussy, slightly too long SUV which visually offers little or nothing over a Urus, Eletre or Cupra Formentor to my eyes. Interesting. I've previously mentioned a Rosa that I'v...

One of each (for me) here:

2. Dangerous prick driver

Lotus emailed me this morning - trying to tempt me with some new but "pre configured" Emira options, including some of the colours unavailable on the launch editions. I'm sure it will come as a surprise to nobody that I also think it looks great in white. (This is an i4 so not of interest ...

That’s awesome

Since we don't have a dead Ferrari thread, I'll just stick this here. Whilst it's absolutely possible they could have been useless (and the outcome might support that supposition), being 24 doesn't automatically mean you don't have the ability to drive an F40. :roll: https://twitter.com/RSF_Motorspo...

If only the ID Buzz could fly like a crow.

I've seen a horse fly......

Strangely the new address triggers my work website blocker - karenable didn't.

Lookin' better than ever

He might find himself with a need to lower the floor further in the future though - better to simply install a jacking system to painlessly raise the room above this aperture. Futureproofing.

The one pedal thing appeals because I felt horribly wasteful having to press the brake pedal on the Buzz. I assume it would be mostly regen but it definitely got better efficiency figures in the more one pedal mode; what surprised me was that it didn't come to a complete halt in that mode but kept ...

I spotted a 5-character "BYD" plate yesterday. On a VW ID4. Of course it'll be the owners initials so something, but it looked very silly.
