Cheers, that seems to be what the HW groups are saying, too. No joy at our local so far.

My four-year old boy is currently pestering me to find him a Hot Wheels Beast of Turin. Lowkey proud right now.

A bit of sun has done wonders for my long-term Renault 4's efficiency.

Yup! Cheapest GS-F I could find was £20k...

Agreed. I'd take genuine steering feel and an auto over a so-so shift action and numb steering.

My thoughts on the Lexus GS-F are now up on @carmagazine.bsky.social. I want one badly.

Interesting you thought it was a Bronco, it's actually a Renault 4! PD Racing TK16 and TR16. Good little trucks that could just do with more accurate steering. Hopefully a better servo will do the trick.

Not too bad thanks, yourself?

RCs and EVs are a match made in heaven. A fun summer awaits.

A brief go in the new Prelude revealed it's devilishly efficient when you're driving sensibly, and good fun when you're not. Shame it auto upshifts in 'manual' mode although blippy downshifts are a delight.

When Skoda makes such a big fuss of the Fabia 130's new ESC Sport mode, it'd be rude not to test it....

Nice finds. Matchbox do a normal car so well.

Well, isn't this a delightful trio of Hot Wheels cars?

If you're under the impression that I'll always look for an excuse to drive something old, you'd be absolutely right. Toyota UK's mint W30 MR2 proved to be better than expected.

Want to know what the new Cupra Formentor VZ5 and Alpine A390 are like on UK roads? Head on over to the CAR magazine website to find out which is the pleasant surprise, and which is the slight disappointment.

Important consumer advice! You can fit an 1930s cinema chair in a BMW M3's boot with ease. No need to thank me.

A Mini was the first Tamiya kit I ever built and I still have it. 30 years later, it's got some company...

A weekend with Honda's heritage EP3 Type R has passed way too quickly. Words coming to @carmagazine.bsky.social soon.

Much excitement as I spotted a new Lancia Ypsilon today. Velour upholstery is yummy, but the leather plate sticking out of the dash is a bit odd. Bonus K11 Micra, too.

Very grateful to @keith-adams.bsky.social for chucking me the key to this today. The sound of it coming on cam at 6.5k is still in my head, and the chassis is even more engaging than I remember. Better secondary ride than the Continental GT, too.

You can easily fit a full Tesco meal deal in the door pocket of a Continental GT. Azure PHEV is fast enough to make the Speed feel pointless.

Sadly, it was being driven far too sedately for me to comment.
