Once I worked out I was looking at the front from an entirely different direction, I had a chance.

I've changed my mind, 25 is more 🀯 than Hangram. I either get them all or can't even work out the clue. Thanks @twod.net.

I've now got a mental image (and ear worm) of a traction engine that goes "nsh nsh nsh whistle" all day.

As a Brit working for a US company constantly infuriated by that stupid date format, I fully endorse Cadillac F1's right to be 100% American.

I know a traffic cop who attended two fatals on the same shift earlier this week. One particularly grim. It definitely takes its mental toll.

Lax Power Tee The late 90s and early 00s was a wonderful time for modified car enthusiasts. Of course, the vast majority of those mad creations are now long dead - most likely wrapped around a lamp post in a Tesco ...

Another new car tee design is up on my store now too. This one may bring a tear to the eye of 90s/00s mod scene nerds like me… (pouring one out for Project Thunder)

Not quite sure how I kept the streak going there. Cycled through makes with a likely awd badge then somehow plucked one from the incomprehensible model line-up.

That is surely a line in a Thomas the Tank Engine episode, just before he does something unbelievably stupid.

Crashed or crushed?

It certainly should be crushed.

I know a few at Gaydon who will have had a spring in their step this morning. However, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a wider cull coming.

A brand new mk1 Subaru Impreza Sport. Bought because I couldn't afford (to insure) a Turbo. Waited three months for it, owned it two months before putting it on its roof. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

I think it should be preserved as a lesson that it is possible to create something uglier than a Ssangyong if you try hard enough.
