Aaah bugger. Yeah, I'm 6'5" and it's mainly in the legs. Ah well. I'd look like Donkey Kong on a go-kart anyway.

Would I fit? MX-5 gives me an insoluble knee/centre console/wheel/gearknob clash. I'd LOVE a go in an S660 if it'll let me.

Somebody just down the road from me is evidently winning at life

Vantage looks great and all, but it would be SICK if it was in a colour.

Aha! Hat tip to Mark!

Somebody working at or visiting BYD head office has exquisite taste

It's appreciated!

One tries!

One porch is never enough

You're very kind.

As close as I could get it, yes.

I'm about ready to move in now

Fallingwater is the dream house final boss

It's fate!

You know what? I laid them out as placeholder generic sports car and saloon. But right now I can't think of anything I'd rather they be than Solo and Rio.

Not much on TV tonight, so I started to design my dream mid-century house

Kind of want that as a poster

Not the best advert for vintage tyres...

I regularly find myself whistling "Winning Run" from Super Hang-On. I kind of hope that one day somebody will recognise it and it'll be the beginning of a beautiful friendship

I didn't. I left it there in hope that serendipity would strike; that the one Ford Orion owner who doesn't already own a Haynes manual for it will find this one in a Southend charity shop

Gotta love charity shops.
This will never, ever find a buyer

Did a crossword with my gran. Clue was "an overabundance". I thought excess, surplus, extravagance – too much of something. The answer turned out to be "plethora", which I think of as being "more than enough, but not too much". I've noticed before that computer-generated crosswords don't get nuance.

I think 2026 Bond would have to use.... a 1962 Silver Cloud

Yep, CUB1. The duplicate that gets dunked in VTAK has some fairly nasty rust evident

Pretty much as it was when I visited... ARGH 17 YEARS AGO
(feels like last week)

The 1962 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud in 1985's View To A Kill was cast as a symbol of aristocracy and old-money values. If 2026 Bond smoked around in a 2003 Phantom, he'd look more like his pub was doing quite well or he'd sold a lot of hot tubs.

I like the sheer contrariness of it
