Happy ‘does anyone remember a car called Datsun before it was renamed Nissan?’ social media post day to all those who celebrate.

What even is that repeated bollocks all about anyway?

I can imagine. Service is due in September, so I best get that arranged.

Thanks, Tim. It was looking at A2s that made me notice the price overlap with these in the first place — and the lower running costs, modernity and idiosyncrasies of the i3 sealed the deal.

Indeed, another shape that’s ageing slower than time. I struggle to get in and out of i8s without looking like a berk, mind 😂

Yes, it’s more or less the spec I’d have chosen new, so that’s a win.

Yes, I’ve been watching all of WA’s content over the past few weeks.

Ha! I’ll have it at the end of next week. If _I_ have to be patient, so can you.

Decided to put my money where my mouth is and buy a car I’ve been encouraging others to for years.

@renaultuk.bsky.social’s reimagined 5 was my pick of the recent new car crop — and my fellow @ukcaroftheyear.bsky.social jurors were in agreement.

Here’s 2026’s overall winner, folks.

I’d forgotten the ‘joys’ of buying a car:

🚘 — How much do you want to spend?
Me — 💰💰💰
🚘 — Okay, 💰💰💰💰💰💰 Deal?
Me — 💰💰💰
🚘 — Deal at 💰💰💰💰💰?
Me — 💰💰💰
🚘 — Shake on 💰💰💰💰?
Me — 💰💰💰
🚘 — Can’t do💰💰💰
Me — Other franchised retailers selling the same car are asking 💰💰💰
🚘 — ______________________

Took a bit of a risk today and invested few thousand in a friend’s start-up business manufacturing triple-decker buses.

There’s potentially a lot riding on this.

I saw a Mitsubishi Colt CZC today.

What a heinous assault on the eyes it was.

The reason he looks like he’s judging you is because he’s judging you.

It will indeed. I’m hoping to open pre-orders within the next three months.

Hark, fellow geeks: recent progress with the Autocar Road Test Record has meant today I’ve produced a _director’s cut_ draft of the book’s core.

Significant editing of pagination and word count in the weeks ahead as the real-world edition *finally* comes together.
