I guarantee that I'll think of six more the second I hit post
We had 25c today but no roof down drive because Jolene is waiting for a new battery

23.02.2026 17:45 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Btw it's shockingly difficult to get a decent shot of the Athena. It should not be easier to find the perfect angle of an obscure french grand prix car than a currently airing Star Trek tv show.

22.02.2026 15:25 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0You might think I'm insane and while you aren't wrong. Both of these cars are tax and ulez except, Yes the fuel economy from the 1.5L Hybrid MG is commendable but one of these cars will depreciate and the Bentley won't.
