I love it! I think Porsche has been super clever in their approach to the regs and how to approach them Rather than lumbering the 911 with a heavy, conventional hybrid system, they've ticked all the boxes (including improved MPG and lower emissions) while delivering more performance and negligible w...

I bought my M140i from Cazoo and it was a great experience There was something very fun/satisfying about having a car delivered like that Some neighbours came out to watch! Truck pulled up, new car is off-loaded, we inspected it, the driver inspected the car we were part-exing Then the driver put my...

Classic car racing at Brands today had 458s, 997s and same vintage Vantage GT3s racing. But they’re still new I thought. Then I do the maths and realise most of the teenagers spectating weren’t even born when those cars first began racing 😮 I was there yesterday too Mad to think there was a long pe...

We had just over a week in all - we flew into Napoli, and then got the train to Sorrento where we stayed for a few days We then got a bus from Sorrento to Amalfi, had a few more days there (went to Capri and Ravello for some day trips from there) Rather than getting the bus back to Sorrento, and fro...

It was a bucket list item for us too

Hope you have a great time there

Ooh, any tips?

You have DM...

Found out the other day, that this exact car (complete with the same number plate) lives a couple of streets from me it's on a street that also includes (also street-parked) a GR Yaris, a new RS3, and an M5 Comp It's bloody gorgeous in the flesh, and I could very happily have it over a newer, 'bette...

Tempted But I don't have any of the services on which it's being shown, and not sure I can be bothered fannying about to sign up to one of them I watched the Naoya Inoue fight the other weekend though - which was both a good fight, and also a nice experience Because it was in Tokyo, it meant it was ...

Station Eleven

Rubbish

Boring and slow

Don't care about the characters

I'll read the book instead (which is supposed to be very good, and from which the series veers quite a bit by all accounts)

Deep, man. I mean Loch Ness. It's deep and long, that's why it has more water. Isn't it technically that Loch Ness has more water than all the lakes in England and Wales? (as opposed to more water in the red area) i.e. I guess the "lakes in England and Wales" doesn't include reservoirs an...

Tres Generaciones Peaberry from Costa Rica

From the Doka Estate

Best coffee I've ever had

Hard to get hold of here (I had to import some) so it would be really special for them (that you went to those lengths to find something)

Sadly yes

Can't believe he was only 52?!

I'm older than him!

When in Florida last year I came across a carpark where reverse parking was banned and punishable by a fine. Oddly it's not the only place in the US where this is the case. I've seen this where the spaces are up against a wall which could be stained by an exhaust if you were an idiot and sat there ...

I still park forwards because I'm lazy

And then I remember that the bigger of the two boots is in the front

The very Gérald Genta looking case and bracelet are at odds with the overall thickness for me The top-down view says "this is a thin watch" but the profile is way too thick IMO... https://www.christopherward.com/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-cw-library/default/dw9412082a/images/pdp-...

Rebel Moon part 2 And I didn't think anyone could make a worse film than the first Rebel Moon But Zack Snyder managed it I feel seriously sorry for anyone involved in this. It must be really hard work to make a film, whether it's good or bad But to work hard on something this bad must be really hea...

But have they published any data that shows if/what impact there's been to road safety, accidents, injuries etc?
