Tim's does a good sandwich and their steeped tea is acceptable. The old coffee supplier can now be found at McDonald's.

I think we can call this a case of CanadianTireitis.

Last time I talked to a mining truck specialist, the EV applications wax and wane depending on what subsidies there are. They are too expensive otherwise, and the trucks do not live long down there (not in copper, anyway).

Also, I don't know if anyone else ever played the game No One Lives Forever, but there should just be a live-action version of that.

Ongoing bit where Q branch keeps trying to give Bond a DBX and he just puts a brick on the throttle and launches it off things as a distraction.

Somehow, P̶a̶l̶p̶a̶t̶i̶n̶e̶ Bond returned.

I will take my million dollar writing credit now please.

Daniel Craig was 51 when No Time To Die filmed. This, the new Bond must be at least in his mid-50s otherwise the series where an undercover agent does parkour and drives Astons will be too unrealistic for audiences.

These things were so GD fast when you threw more boost at them. Styrofoam container with four bottle rockets attached. They did an ACR version as well.

A dark blue Ford Escort Mexico.

What a machine.

A two-handed broadsword and a shorter Roman-style gladius, both made from wood.

These are the two swords I got my kids, made by a wooden ship builder in the offseason, leather/suede grips and a coil embossed in the pommel.

Three generations of Cortina.

Escort Mexico, Cortina Mk II, and a replica Lotus Cortina (a GT really)

It’s Sunday morning at the Church of the Blue Oval.

A shout out from Ken! @tamerlaneblog.bsky.social hath been anointed! Anyway, I look forward to your guest hosting.

This is nothing. A local elementary school had a plastic slide that was aimed wrong. As any parent knows, a kindergartner in a wet Muddy Buddy is basically teflon-coated, and kids were getting fired into the parking lot like Maggie Simpson star-shaped shurikens.

Canada-legal does not move the needle. US does. RS2s quadrupled.

Four cars parked beneath trees (gingkos?) on a Tokyo road: Renault Dauphine, Caternam 620, Porsche 356 convertible, Arbarth Simca 2000GT.

I follow a bunch of old school, retired Japanese autojournos. Never fails to be delightful.

Something fun I learned recently is that the front end on this car is the work of Detroit-based hot-riders, not SoCal. Same guys did the Dodge Deora.

For the Omnibus Show tomorrow. Hang on. There are still tickets available?

I know the guy who voiced Bob. He drives an EV-swapped '69 912.

I have 787B Renown livery socks.

now, if both wrap around you comprehensively, then you can in fact be called a Gregs sausage roll.

I remember seeing May in a Zoom interview (or similar) and behind him was a framed single cel of Tombo from Kiki's Delivery Service, and I was like Well Of Course There Is.

A Twizzy in front of one of those dancing inflatable used car thingies. Somewhat worryingly, this example had its speed limiter removed

oui.

Oh yes I know, Johnny Mac is a longtime friend and this is a photo I took when I borrowed it

Right. You've now all had a chance to air your Opinions about the new Prelude. Time to get back to more productive fare, like posting French cars.

But even that would be better if they weren't autonomous, but drone-controlled.

hey bony hawk

Cat: cat break

Not now I’m

I know people who changed car brand loyalty when a good service manager moved to a new dealer.

There's a rather nice 22B clone around here running a big turbo EG33.

yeah and you can make shiny pants out of it
